- Letter from Fr. Luke Sheehan OFM Cap., Bend, Oregon, to Fr. Thomas Dowling OFM Cap., Provincial Minister, referring to local scepticism about the Church’s commitment and the logistical difficulties of the mission in Oregon. He reports that residents in Bend are doubtful because the promised house and church have not yet been built. He also notes that a ‘Chapel Car’ (a mobile church on rails provided by the Catholic Church Extension Society) was in Tillis, Hermiston, and Stanfield. It was supposed to go to Echo, Pilot Rock, and Wabash, but the ‘Chaplain was recalled’, and it is unclear when work will resume.
