This is a photograph of the Young Men's Catholic Club at the Fushun Japanese Mission. "After Mass each Sunday they hold a meeting, and make plans for their activities, one of which is to assist the priest in making contact with their friends. This picture is of one of their meetings showing Father O'Donnell seated on the tatami floor with them." Rev. O'Donnell was born in New York City. He entered Maryknoll in 1922 and was ordained in 1929. He was assigned to Fushun, Manchuria where he remained until granted a furlough in 1937, after which he returned to Fushun. He was interned when war with Japan broke out and in 1942 was repatriated aboard the refugee ship Gripsholm.
