On the Threshold of the Future

This study of the life and spirituality of Mother Mary Joseph Rogers reveals the life, spirituality, and mission vision that formed the Maryknoll Sisters, who celebrate their centennial in 2012. Mother Mary Joseph saw beyond the boundaries of the world in which she lived, more than a century ago, a much wider world full of possibilities for women religious.

Sr. Claudette LaVerdiere, M.M., is a former president of the Congregation of the Maryknoll Sisters of Saint Dominic. She has worked in East Africa and Myanmar.
