This is a photograph of "Fr. Lane at Father McCormack's place. Ten minutes before the horse Father Mac is riding, gave me a nasty fall but I had Prince of Wales luck, with no bad results, except for soreness for a week." Rev. McCormack was born in Ballaghadereen, Co. Roscommon, Eire. He joined Maryknoll in 1918, and was ordained in 1924. He was assigned to Fushun, Manchuria. Interned there at the outbreak of WWII, he was repatriated aboard the Swedish repatriation ship Gripsholm in 1942. Afterwards he worked in Latin America and the U.S. Born in Massachusetts, Bishop Lane came to Maryknoll in 1913 and was ordained to the priesthood in 1920. In 1923 he went to Hong Kong to become the procurator of that mission. Two years later he went north and inaugurated the Fushun mission in Manchuria. In 1932 Monsignor Lane was appointed Prefect Apostolic and in 1940 Vicar Apostolic. He was consecrated a Bishop in 1940. After Pearl Harbor, Bishop Lane was interned by the Japanese in Fushun. Within a year of prepatriation, Bishop Lane was elected to be the third Superior General of Maryknoll. His tenure led to the greatest expansion at home and abroad for Maryknoll.
