On September 12, 2021, the Maryknoll Sisters celebrated a century of service in China.


The original Maryknoll mission to China set sail on September 24, 1921. It consisted of six Sisters and two priests. Today, there are eight Maryknoll Sisters doing missionary work in Hong Kong and five Maryknoll priests in the country.


It was through the collaborative efforts of

Maryknoll, the Jesuits, other religious orders, and concerned U.S. bishops that China Association was established in 1989. At the time, it was known as the United States

Catholic China Bureau and based at Seton Hall University. Maryknoll Sister Janet Carroll served as its founding executive director.

We offer the Maryknoll Sisters our congratulations and gratitude for all they have done for our organization and for the people and the Church in China.

The US-China Catholic Association was founded in 1989 by concerned U.S. bishops, Maryknoll, the Jesuits, and representatives of other religious orders in order to promote mutual support and fraternal ties between the Church in China and the U.S. Church.
