Bishop Morrow, as a young priest, served as secretary to the Apostolic Delegate in Manila, Philippines. In 1926 he founded the Catholic Truth Society of Manila to publish Catholic literature, mainly for youth. He became a popular retreat director, a prolific writer and publisher of a series of catechetical books, and also nine text books officially recognized for use in schools in the Philippines. His esteemed book Our Catholic Faith is an exuberant expression of his catechetical charism. An interesting aside is that he was a Priest for 66 years and a Bishop for 48 years.

Bishop Morrow was appointed Bishop of Krishnagar in 1939 by Pope Pius XII. He served in that position for over 30 years. He was indeed a Holy Man. In fact, in 1948 he founded the Congregation of The Catechist Sisters of Mary Immaculate Help of Christians, commonly known as the Sisters of Mary Immaculate (SMI) in Krishnagar. He built up the diocese as well as rendered great services to the city of Krishnagar in an official capacity.
