Description
View from the street of the Maryknoll Sisters Convent in Kowloon, Hong Kong. A cut stone wall with pillars, iron gate and iron arbor adorn the entry way. The convent is seen in the background partially hidden by trees.
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.
