This is a photograph of Fr. Haggerty blessing the congregation. The chapel is filled with only Chinese men and there is an altar boy by Fr. Haggerty's side. Born in New York, Fr. Haggerty came to Maryknoll in 1927 and was ordained to the priesthood in 1934. He was assigned to Fushun, Manchuria that same year and returned on the SS Gripsholm in 1942. He returned to Manchuria in 1945 and spent years in Shanghai, Seattle, Taiwan and Africa.
