The Maryknoll Institute of Language & Culture (MILC) was established in 1958 by the Maryknoll Fathers, Inc. to prepare Roman Catholic Church personnel to work effectively in the Philippines through the development of communication skills in the Cebuano and/or Tagalog languages and an understanding and appreciation of Filipino culture. Others may be accepted at the discretion of the Institute.


“Missionaries, who come from other churches and countries, must immerse themselves in the cultural milieu of those to whom they are sent.… Hence they must learn the language of the place in which they work.”
John Paul II, Redemptoris Missio 53.
