The Portiuncula Vol. XXII Newsletter of the Capuchin Franciscan Province of Our Lady of the Angels, Vol. XXII, Winter 2001 OLA Marks 75 Years This past November the friars and the parish of Our Lady of Angels celebrated 75 years of presence and ministry. In his letter to the parishioners Bro. Gerald Barron, pastor, reminded the people of the mustard seed parable. It is the smallest of seeds but can grow to be the largest of plants. Our Lady of Angels in Burlingame California has grown from 200 families in 1926 to 2050 households in 2001. Bro. Gerald concluded his letter with these words. "As we celebrate this 75th Anniversary of Our Lady of Angels Parish, we thank God for the many blessings He has showered on us. May we build on what we have received from the past to an ever-deeper love for God and each other." Mr. Dick Rossi, Honorary Chairman of the Jubilee Celebration recounted the dual dedication of the Capuchin Franciscan Hospital and the Sisters of Mercy. Countless Peninsula Hospital patients and the elderly have known the compassion and ministry of the friars and laity who minister to them daily. The children of OLA can today enjoy a wonderful school that was established by the Sisters of Mercy, the friars and countless parents. Today the school is thriving thanks to the dedication of so many dedicated lay staff and faculty. The Jubilee Mass was celebrated by the Most Reverend William Levada, Archbishop of San Francisco. The liturgy was very well attended by the Sisters of Mercy, the friars from various regions as well as by the local clergy and a vast congregation. Portiuncula readers are encouraged to read a complete history of our Province and OLA on the Web. Please check on your computer search engine for "A Labor of Love... Franciscan Style." by Bro. Robert Barbato; Bro. Robert wrote this history of the Province at the request of our late and dear Bro. Enda Heffernan. This work chronicles the work of the friars as well as the establishment of the "OLA" parish. Readers are also encouraged to visit the OLA website. www.olaparish.org e-mail parishoffice@olaparish.org
