Description
This is a photograph showing the detail of the right side of the rooftop of the Maryknoll Seminary in Kaying [now Meixien]. It is done in sculptured metal and paintings that represent Noah's ark. The detail is exquisite with scrolls, flowers and pairs of animals.
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.
