A '''missionary''' is a member of a religious group sent into an area to proselytize or perform ministries of service, such as [[শিক্ষা|education]], [[সাক্ষরতা|literacy]], social justice, health care, and economic development.<ref> In the [[colonial times]], missionary work was used to "Christianize" the [[natives]] that lived on the newly discovered lands.

''missio''), meaning "act of sending" or ''mittere'', meaning "to send".<ref>[http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=mission Online Etymology Dictionary]. Etymonline.com. Retrieved on 2011-01-19.</ref> The word was used in light of its biblical usage; in the Latin translation of the [[বাইবেল|Bible]], Christ uses the word when sending the disciples to preach The gospel in his name. The term is most commonly used for Christian missions, but can be used for any creed or ideology.<ref>For example, [[বৌদ্ধ ধর্ম|Buddhism]] launched "the first large-scale missionary effort in the history of the world's religions" in the 3rd century BCE.

Countering arguments that the Church needed workers here, Fathers Walsh and Price insisted the Church would not flourish until it sent missioners overseas.<ref>[http://maryknollmissiontrips.org]</ref> Independently, the men had written extensively about the concept, Father Price in his magazine ''Truth'', and Father Walsh in the pages of ''A Field Afar'', an early incarnation of ''Maryknoll Magazine''.<ref>[http://www.maryknollmagazine.org/ ''Maryknoll Magazine'']</ref> Together, they formulated plans to establish a seminary for foreign missionaries. With the approval of the American hierarchy, the two priests traveled to Rome in June 1911 to receive final approval from Pope Pius X for their project. On June 29, 1911, Pope Pius X gave his blessings for the formation of the Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America, now better known as the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers.<ref>[http://maryknollsociety.org Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers]</ref>
