Letter from Fr. Joseph Fenelon OFM Cap. to Fr. Peter Bowe OFM Cap., Provincial Minister, mainly referring to personnel appointments in the United States mission. He writes ‘I am sending Fr. Clement to Ukiah where Fr. Ambrose who has been ill is at present. Fr. Raphael has been hard pressed during the Lent as he was alone there since Fr. Urban went to hospital. I am sure the latter is out of hospital by this, but he will be unfit for work for some time, hence my sending of Clement there.

I brought Fr. Leo [Sheehan] to help us in the Los Angeles missions, he preaches fairly well, yet lacks energy and life. He however is anxious to be called upon again. In future it will be necessary to have a mission staff located in Watts in order to obviate the trouble I had to encounter from bringing men from the other houses where the men are all required’.

Information supplied by Irish Capuchin friars residing in Abbottstown, Pennsylvania, to Fr. Edwin Fitzgibbon OFM Cap., Provincial Minister, during his visitation. The document includes a comprehensive log of religious masses said by specific Capuchin priests at Paradise Parish in Abbottstown between August 1919 and June 1921, dedicated to the intentions of the Most Reverend Father General. Includes chronological tallies and specific location notes for individual clergy members – including Fathers Brendan, Benignus, Malachy, Ferdinand, Raphael, Leo, Gabriel, Ambrose, and Vincent – culminating in a ‘Grand Total’ of 103 masses. It also features a structured ledger cross-referencing individual priests against specific intentions, such as ‘Jubilees’, ‘House & Pious’, deceased family members (e.g., ‘Fr. John’s Mother’), and general intercessions like ‘Def. Gen. Eugenio’ and ‘Pro Fid. Def’. Handwritten annotations throughout provide contextual updates on the priests’ movements, indicating whether they arrived late, left for other locations like Lincoln in Nebraska or if a particular mass went unrecorded.
