Scope and content
Newsletter issued by St. Patrick’s Custody, the Irish Capuchin mission in the Western United States, in April 1958. The newsletter provides general information on the various houses and foundations established by the Irish friars in America. Reference is made to the plans for the return of the remains of Frs. Dominic O’Connor and Albert Bibby to Ireland on June 10 via TWA from San Francisco. The bodies will be buried in the cemetery at Rochestown after religious ceremonies at Holy Trinity Church, with the Bishop of Cork presiding. Duggan’s Funeral Service in San Francisco is handling the preparation. Requiem Masses will be celebrated at Bend (Oregon) and Santa Inés (California) on the morning of disinterment.
