Father Hendricks (March 17, 1846, in Venlo – June 22, 1906, in Kashgar) was a Dutch Roman Catholic missionary.
[1][2] Accompanied by a Polish nobleman called Adam Ignatovich whom he had met in Omsk on his way to Chinese Turkestan,[3] Hendricks arrived in Kashgar in 1885 and remained there until his death.
During his stay in Kashgar, Hendricks clashed with Nikolai Petrovsky, the Russian consul-general, and lived for a time with George Macartney at Chini-Bagh.
[4] Hendricks frequently had to travel to British India, and despite good relations with Macartney, he occasionally had troubles crossing the border.
[5] Hendricks ran his church out of a mud hut and was apparently able to only convert one person, a Chinese cobbler, during his time in Kashgar.
