Welcome to the official website of the Medical Missionaries of Mary
For 70 years, the Medical Missionaries of Mary have been committed to healing and development in a way that is locally appropriate and cost-effective.
As missionaries, we are active contemplatives, qualified in health-related professions. While we are a moden religious Congregation, our roots are in the ancient tradition of Saint Benedict. Our priority is to go to places of great need. We remain there until the local people can take over responsibility for their healthcare themselves.
Through our website we tell the story of why, where and how we do this.

Plants that Cure
From Honduras to Tanzania, people want to reclaim their
ancient knowledge of medicinal plants. Helping to preserve indigenous knowledge has
taught us many useful things. |
