Scope and content: A chronological index of the Irish Capuchin foundations and schools across the United States, from 1910 through the late 1940s. The Early Missions (1910–1919) The first page documents the initial push into the Pacific Northwest and the East Coast: • Bend, Oregon (1910): Lists it as a ‘Hospitium’ (hospice). • Hermiston, Oregon (1910): Noted as having ‘par[ochia] cum annexis’ (parish with missions). • Harrisburg/Abbottstown, PA (1911): Recorded under the Diocese of Harrisburg. • Lincoln, Nebraska (1919): Notes a later ‘suppression’ of the mission in November 1937. • California Foundations (1919): Lists the transfer of Mendocino, Ukiah, Greenwood, and Fort Bragg from the English Capuchin Province. Expansion and the move to Delaware (1923–1946) The second page tracks the movement into Southern California and the shift away from Pennsylvania: • Watts (Los Angeles), CA (1923) • Santa Ynez, CA (1924): Notes the mission was an ancient structure from 1804. • Wilmington, Delaware (1930): This is the foundation established after the friars were forced to leave Abbottstown. • Burlingame, CA (1927): Recorded under the Archdiocese of San Francisco. • McKenzie Bridge, Oregon (1946): noting its suppression in 1954. Education and Seminaries (1947) The third page focuses on a specific expansion in Southern California: • La Cañada (Flintridge): Notes the approval by John J. Cantwell, Archbishop of Los Angeles, on 25 June 1947. • St. Francis High School & Seminary: Located at 4440 La Cañada, Los Angeles. This highlights the order’s shift from rural parish ministry toward Catholic education.
