Pièce 16 - Capuchin Fathers’ splendid work

1 p.; clipping

A clipping of an article praising the success of a religious mission held at St. Teresa’s Church in San Francisco. The article describes a week-long ‘religious revival’ conducted by the Capuchin Fathers, Sylvester Mulligan and Joseph Fenelon. It notes that large crowds thronged the church from early morning until late evening. The text links the work of these ‘Irish Sons of St. Francis’ to the legacy of the Spanish Franciscan Padres who founded missions from San Diego to Sonoma. It also mentions their ongoing missionary work in ‘difficult and sparsely populated territories’ of Mendocino County and Central Oregon. The clipping is taken from the ‘San Francisco Leader’ (8 April 1922).
