MARYKNOLL LAY MISSIONERS
SAMI SCOTT
Speaking July 2-3, 2022
Sami Scott is originally from St. Paul, Minnesota, but came to Maryknoll Lay Missioners from Phoenix, Arizona. She has a B.S. in finance from Marquette University, and has worked in banking as an analyst and auditor. Sami joined Maryknoll Lay Missioners in 1996 and has served in Venezuela and Cambodia before transferring to Haiti in October 2018. In Phnompenh, Cambodia, Sami was the finance manager first at the Seedlings of Hope HIV/AIDS Program, and later at Boeung Tumpun Community Health and Education Project. In Pavia, Venezuela, she started a community food cooperative, worked with youth in a music ministry and did pastoral outreach in the rural areas. In Haiti, Sami helped create the Hen House Project to provide local eggs for the town of Gros Morne, eggs that are produced from local feed. The project not only ensures a more stable, economic and safe supply of eggs, but it also creates jobs, both directly – at the hen project – and indirectly – by providing a market for local farmers’ corn for the hens’ feed
Sami will speak at all our masses next weekend to share her mission experience as part of the Archdiocese of Boston’ Missionary Cooperation Plan 2022. The second collection will be taken to support Maryknoll Lay Missioners. Your kind welcome and generous support is most appreciated.
Maryknoll Lay Missioners is one of the largest U.S. Catholic organizations sending laypeople into global mission. Over the past four and a half decades, we have prepared and sent more than 900 missioners who have accompanied people experiencing poverty and marginalization around the world. Your donations will allow Maryknoll Lay Missioners to prepare and sustain laypeople in global mission and to help build a more just, compassionate and sustainable world. This once-a-year opportunity is a wonderful way for all of us to participate in the on-going global mission to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth!
