Scope and content
A clipping of an article reporting on the opening of a large fundraising bazaar for St. Lawrence Parish in Watts, Los Angeles. The event was held to raise money for a new parochial school, estimated to cost approximately $40,000. Father Joseph Fenelon, the pastor, noted that this was the first major appeal made by the Irish Franciscan friars since their arrival in California. The school was described as the ‘most needed’ unit of a planned group of parish buildings.
