Description
Thomas Augustine Hendrick, first American bishop of Cebu in the Philippines, was born at Penn Yan, New York, in 1849. Ordained priest at St. Joseph's Seminary, Troy, in 1873, he spent twenty-nine years in parish work in the Diocese of Rochester. There he took a leading part in public and charitable work, and served on the board of regents of the State University.
After the Spanish-American War, when the Church in the Philippines was reorganized, he was named Bishop of Cebu and consecrated in Rome in 1903. He took possession of the see in March 1904 and worked to restore order and discipline across a large diocese. He died of cholera at Cebu in November 1909.
