Description
This is a photograph of the front gate of the mission compound at Yunfu. The gate that encloses the compound is made of rock with a circular [moon gate] entrance. The men in the picture are "carrying the tiny grains of sand that go to build up the House of God."
Maryknoll, The Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America, was founded in 1911 by Revs. James Anthony Walsh and Thomas Frederick Price to be the main mission outreach of the Roman Catholic Church of the United States. The first group of missioners departed in 1918 for China. Today Maryknoll Priests, Brothers and Sisters are missioned in over 30 countries around the world.
