Circular letter from Our Lady of Angels Parish in Hermiston, Oregon, announcing the upcoming Silver Jubilee of Episcopate and Golden Jubilee of Priesthood for Bishop Joseph F. McGrath. The document is by Father Urban Riordan OFM Cap. and Father Cornelius Hyland OFM Cap. The notice asks parishioners to contribute to a ‘Spiritual Bouquet’ by pledging various prayers and good works, and to provide a financial ‘Jubilee Offering’ using an enclosed envelope. The document emphasizes the bishop’s decades of selfless service to the Diocese of Baker City and sets a deadline of February 10 for all submissions.
