This is a photograph of Fr. P.J. Donnelly and two elderly Catholics who desired to have their pictures taken for posterity. The two men on either side of Fr. Donnelly wear traditional clothing, Fr. Donnelly wears American clothing. Born in Pennsylvania, Fr. Donnelly came to Maryknoll in 1921 and was ordained to the priesthood in 1928. He was assigned to Kaying, where in 1934, he was named Rector of the minor seminary. Ill health brought him back to the United States where he served on the teaching staffs at the minor seminaries.
