A summary report detailing the history, development, and extensive missionary work of the Our Lady of Angels parish in Burlingame, California, following its separation from St. Catherine’s Parish in November 1926. It chronicles the early challenges faced by Father Thomas Dowling and his assistants, who began with a small, repurposed Episcopalian church and a makeshift school before successfully constructing a large, modern school and auditorium utilizing a $150,000 bank loan. A detailed financial breakdown updated after 15 July 1933, shows the parish successfully reduced its debt to roughly $50,666, while the second page highlights the friars’ widespread spiritual impact, listing numerous retreats and missions conducted across California, Montana, and Idaho.
