Collection of articles from ‘The Monitor’ focusing on the establishment and growth of Our Lady of the Angels Parish in Burlingame, California, highlighting its rapid transformation under the Irish Capuchin Franciscan friars. The article describes how the Irish Capuchins have transformed a small mission into a bustling parish complex by converting existing neighbourhood buildings —including an old Protestant guild hall and a private residence — into a temporary church, school, and convent. Father Thomas Dowling OFM Cap. is credited as the driving force behind the parish’s success. He was also a prominent speaker, scheduled to deliver an annual lecture for the Sisters of the Holy Family at St. Mary’s Cathedral in San Francisco. The centre column provides a detailed history of the Capuchin Franciscans with a particular reference to the Irish friars.
