Letter from Fr. Joseph Fenelon OFM Cap. to Fr. Peter Bowe OFM Cap., Provincial Minister, focusing on holiday celebrations and significant administrative progress in the mission in California. Father Fenelon suggests the Santa Inés community is thriving. He has secured a $1,000 grant from the Catholic Extension Society for a new roof for the old Mission church, which he describes as ‘the first installment’ of support. He contends that Fr. Albert Bibby’s improving in health but will remain at Santa Inés for the winter. Fr Joseph also mentions that he is still working on a potential new foundation in San Francisco, though he is waiting for the archbishop to finalize a specific location.
