This series celebrates the lives of Maryknoll missioners whose biographies simply do not do them justice. Today, we celebrate the life of Fr. Thomas R. Wellinghoff during the Jubilee of the Poor.

As part of the Jubilee of the World of Education, happening October 31st through November 2nd, 2025, Archives is highlighting a selection of international schools established by the Maryknoll Sisters.
