Inspired by a Dutch Jesuit, the Grail movement, a lay apostolate for women, flourished in Europe before corning to the United States in 1940. In the succeeding two decades, it established itself firmly within the American Catholic avant-garde as an attractive alternative to the convent, a pioneer in liturgical renewal, and a champion of the lay apostolate. The Grail Movement and American Catholicism, 1940-1975 chronicles this remarkable community of women who devoted themselves to a life of worship and faith and to creating a new world in Christ. As Alden V. Brown demonstrates, these women's importance to American Catholic history does not lie solely in their unique purpose, but in the movement itself, which in microcosm mirrored the changes that overtook the American Catholic Church in this century.
