MARYKNOLL (CNS): One hundred years after receiving Vatican approval to begin missionary work in China, the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers kicked off a year-long celebration of their centennial by recalling the “original inspiration and holy stubbornness” of the society’s founders during a celebratory centennial Mass on April 2 in Maryknoll, New York, the United States of America.
 
Maryknoll superior general, Father Raymond Finch, was the main celebrant of the Mass at the Queen of Apostles Chapel at the Maryknoll Society Centre.
