Donovan was one of three brothers to come to Maryknoll. He was ordained in 1928 and was assigned to Wuchow, South China. Illness brought him to the United States where he taught latin and mathematics. In 1931 he was assigned to Fushun, Manchuria. In 1937 he was captured in his parish church by bandits. The Japanese officials, Chinese people and the American Consul made every effort to bring about the release of Fr. Donovan.

这是G·多诺万神父（Fr. G. Donovan）在临江县（原译Lin-Kiang，现标准译名为Linjiang）的留影。他头戴礼帽、手戴手套，伫立在一处入口旁。多诺万神父出生于宾夕法尼亚州，是三名赴马利诺修会（Maryknoll）的兄弟之一。1928年他晋铎受职，随后被派遣至华南梧州（Wuchow）。因身体疾患返回美国后，他曾教授拉丁语与数学。1931年，他被派往满洲地区（Manchuria）的抚顺（Fushun）。1937年，他在自己的教区教堂内被匪徒劫持。日本当局、中国民众与美国领事均全力斡旋，以促成多诺万神父获释。最终，人们在怀仁镇（Huai-Jen）约1.5英里外发现了他冻僵的遗体，其死因系被扼颈致死。他的遗体被运回马利诺修会（Maryknoll）安葬。
