Note re plans for St. Francis Parochial School in Bend

1 p.; typescript and manuscript

A financial report from the St. Francis Parochial School committee in Bend, Oregon, recommending halting plans to purchase a new school site due to the heavy tax and debt burden it would place on parish members. Because the committee fell short of its $1,500 quota by collecting only $1,017, they advise transferring the funds to Father Luke Sheehan to reduce existing church debt. However, a handwritten note by Father Luke challenges this decision, stating that he had successfully convinced the parish leadership to proceed with the school project anyway despite the committee’s inability to collect the remaining balance.
