Scope and content
A clipping detailing two major upcoming religious milestones at St. Peter’s Church in San Francisco. The main report announces that Archbishop Edward Joseph Hanna will confirm a large class of 200 children on Sunday afternoon. Additionally, the text reflects on a highly successful, two-week parish mission led by Capuchin Fathers Thomas Dowling Berchmans Cantillon, and Casimir Butler. This event concluded with capacity attendance from the parish community, an increase in male participation, and the widespread enrolment of local women into St. Anne’s Confraternity. The article is taken from the ‘San Francisco Leader’ (29 March 1924).
