Letter from Fr. Joseph Fenelon OFM Cap. to Fr. Peter Bowe OFM Cap., Provincial Minister, regarding the establishment of a Capuchin house in San Francisco. He writes ‘I reminded the Archbishop [Edward Joseph Hanna] of our San Francisco foundation which he promised to Fr. Sylvester. He spoke about Oakland as this would be a part of San Francisco shortly. Well, I said that our superior would wish very much to have a home in San Francisco itself, as a head house for the order so that the fathers could locate there for missionary work and also serve as a Retreat house for the Fathers in Mendocino County. He said that idea was very good and he would seriously consider the matter. Of course, I didn’t want to dictate to him but left it entirely to his own choice. At all events, I am pretty sure of a foundation in San Francisco or in Oakland before long’.
