This is a photograph of Father Lacroix with three small children in Pantien [now Bantian]. Born in Massachusetts, Fr. Lacroix entered Maryknoll in 1921 after years as an electrician, and was ordained to the priesthood on June 5, 1932. He was assigned to Wuchow and served two terms as Consultor before returning to the United States during the war. He was a professor of French at the Maryknoll Seminary and then returned to Hong Kong China until 1950. In 1952 he was assigned to Taiwan where he labored until 1979.
