Letter from Fr. Stephen Murtagh OFM Cap. to Fr. James O’Mahony OFM Cap., Provincial Minister, regarding the expansion and administrative state of the Capuchin Custody in California. The Order purchased the Flintridge property outright for $30,000, using funds borrowed from their parish. Father Stephen notes the building is empty and requires significant repairs and furnishing. The Archbishop of Los Angeles is urging the Order to open a high school for Catholic boys. Father Stephen believes this would greatly increase the prestige of the Order and help foster local vocations. He suggests that young priests from Ireland could gain teaching experience there.
