That's not necessarily true. There are an untold number of people who convert to any number of "religions", not because they believe it's the only true church but just because they happen to like certain aspects of it more than others. They may even appear zealous for that particular "religion" in one way or another.

I would suggest that it was due to his hard work bringing the true Faith to the people of that area.  
Why bother if they can desire baptism from a distance?  BECAUSE they needed BAPTISM OF WATER in order to enter the Church and be able to receive any other sacrament!  Why did Arch. L. go to Africa?  BECAUSE the natives could not be saved without Baptism of Water.  The Church in her highest authority says WATER is necessary, and there is no substitute.  BOD/BOB is only the SPECULATION of various saints and theologians while Baptism of Water is ABSOLUTE.

So, Father Galitzin has something in common with Archbishop Lefebvre.

Gallitzin's part in building up the Roman Catholic church in western Pennsylvania cannot be overestimated; it is said that at his death there were 10,000 Roman Catholics in the district where forty years before he had found a scant dozen. 
NOTE!
It does not say he converted 10,000 to the faith or that he brought back to the Church 10,000 Catholics, it just says "at his death there were 10,000 Roman Catholics in the district where forty years before he had found a scant dozen". It does not say that the 10,000 "Catholics" even went to mass.

It says that in 40 years there were 10,000 Catholics. That is no surprise, as immigration from Catholic countries went from droplets to a flood at that time all over the USA.
