This is a photograph of a new, large two floor building in Luoding used as both a chapel and a priest house. It is located in the valley in front of a large mountain near other houses. "The two white buildings [in front of it] belong to the Luojing Christians. The one on the hill is a combination house and chapel and on on the road is for entertaining visitors." 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.
