"The Maryknoll Movement" offers a comprehensive historical survey of the Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America during its foundational years. Written by George C. Powers, the work chronicles the emergence of the United States as a significant force in global missionary efforts, detailing the spiritual and organizational evolution of the Maryknoll movement in the early 20th century.

The book traces the visionary leadership of founders Thomas Frederick Price and James Anthony Walsh, following their journey from the initial conception of an American mission society to the establishment of the Maryknoll Seminary. It provides a detailed account of the society's growth and the dispatch of its first missioners to China, capturing the challenges and triumphs faced by those pioneering the effort to bring the Catholic faith to East Asia.

Serving as an important record of religious history, "The Maryknoll Movement" highlights the shift in American Catholicism from a mission-receiving church to a mission-sending one. It remains a vital resource for understanding the history of international evangelization, the development of American religious institutions, and the enduring legacy of the Maryknoll fathers and sisters.
