Here is one of the great religious stories of our times, the life of Mother Mary Joseph Foundress of the Maryknoll Sisters. We see her first as Mary Josephine Rogers, an eager young student at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts; we go with her as she volunteers to help Father James Anthony Walsh in his Boston office. By slow but certain degrees, we trace the initial steps of a new movement as it develops , inspiration and indefatigable industry advancing together. as the swift years pass, we find ourselves at Maryknoll in the beautiful hill country east of the Hudson River and from there we watch as the new order reaches out into the Orient, into Latin America, and elsewhere, until, under the inspiration of Mother Mary Joseph, it becomes one of the great missionary movements of present-day Christianity. The challenge of danger is here and with it humor, adventure, devotion, and sacrifice of the highest order. the story is many sided, the chronicle is carefully detailed, the achievement it records is magnificent in both retrospect and expectation. And always in the forefront is the great leader herself, to whose foresight and spiritual guidance the high eminence of the Maryknoll Sisters is an enduring tribute.
