Summary
Father Dorotheus Philips was named in a 1922 rescue report as a Catholic missionary to the Beaver Islands. A 1942 retrospective of the same episode spells his surname Phillips and places his mission among the Indians on Garden Island.
Evidence and limits
This is an episode-bounded person record. The held sources provide no birth, death, order, parish, or complete mission chronology. The spelling variation is preserved, and the record does not silently identify him with an unheld clergy or church record.
