Letter from Fr. Isidore Kennedy

2 pp; manuscript

Letter from Fr. Isidore Kennedy OFM Cap. to Fr. Joseph Fenelon OFM Cap. mainly regarding Mass obligations in St. Anthony’s Mission in Mendocino, California. Reference is made to Fr. Leo’s Mass book covers 1 September 1923, to 22 April 1925. During this time, he received 899 Masses and celebrated 809. Fr. Isidore explains that earlier records (pre-September 1923) should be found in the books at Fort Bragg, where Fr. Leo was previously stationed. He also mentions giving a ‘little talk from the altar’ and was surprised by how well it went. He notes that his ‘impediment’ did not cause him trouble, giving him courage for future preaching.
