Laberge Interviews Crespin Oral History Center University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California George Crespin A VATICAN II PRIEST’S FAITH JOURNEY Interviews conducted in 2013 and 2014 by Germaine LaBerge A Donated Oral History Copyright © 2015 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The audio recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and George Crespin dated January 22, 2015.

Carlo Busby, former pastor of Holy Spirit Parish/Newman Hall, in Berkeley, knows George Crespin well. Father George lived and worked at St. Joseph the Worker Parish in Berkeley for over twenty years, where Carlo came to know him both as a pastor and friend. Carlo, with a keen interest in history, realized that Father George had witnessed historic times in the Diocese of Oakland and the United States, and suggested to me, a retired oral historian, how beneficial it would be to capture his recollections. Father George Crespin had been chancellor and vicar general of the diocese, and had recently retired from active duties at St. Joe’s in Berkeley. George was ordained a Catholic priest in 1962, the year the Diocese of Oakland was formed, and in his various capacities, George had worked closely with the first bishop, Floyd Begin, and then Bishop John Cummins. George not only had the time to devote to interviews, but also had (and has!) an excellent memory and an easy way with the spoken word (both English and Spanish.) And so, we met at Sagrada-Sacred Arts in Oakland where we agreed to this joint venture—documented in the pages following this interview history. There were six interviews in all beginning February 21, 2013, all recorded at my home in Berkeley. Father George needed no notes to recall events of the Second Vatican Council, the beginnings of the fledgling diocese, his early ministry as a parish priest in Fremont and then Union City, his outreach to the Spanish-speaking parishioners of the diocese, his handling of clergy personnel issues (including the abuse scandals), his own spiritual journey during changing times. I came to know Father George not only as a priest but as a community presence in Berkeley, concerned about his flock and their education, their water rights, their faith, their everyday struggles. In these interviews, Father George is at the same time clear-eyed and faith- filled, compassionate and forgiving. He is renowned throughout the diocese and the country for his devotion to individuals and to the institutional church he sometimes does not understand. He has served both tirelessly and well and I am privileged to have spent these hours with him, recording his story. Church historians and historians of the city of Berkeley alike will find a treasure trove within these pages. Berkeley High School owes him a debt of gratitude for his involvement in the education of the Latino students—as does the University of California, Berkeley. George did not edit this oral history. I edited lightly and there may be a few errors in spelling or full names. After we finished recording in 2013, George told Bishop Cummins about this experience. In addition, Karl Pister, a trustee of the Franciscan School of Theology and former regent of the Graduate Theological Union, encouraged the former bishop to accept the invitation to record his oral history. So, as Father George and I finished our interviews, the new set began. Historians will want to study both interviews, as the subjects covered dovetail and give similar but unique views of the church of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. I am grateful to Carlo Busby for encouraging George to record his memoirs for future researchers. Kathleen Zvanovec, the transcriber and final typist, is excellent beyond measure— ii she was able to find obscure names and spellings and make sense of some garbled portions of the recordings. Thanks, too, to the Regional Oral History Office of The Bancroft Library, for accepting this oral history and digitizing same for their archives. The subject matter fits well into their collections of the history of California. Germaine LaBerge, Interviewer February 2015 1 Interview #1: February 21, 2013 [Tape 1: Side A] 01a-00:00:02 LaBerge: This is February 21, 2013, interview with Father George Crespin. I just want to start with saying one of our focuses is going to be Vatican II and how it was effected in the Oakland Diocese. But we want to get a background of you, Father George, so why don’t you tell me the circumstances of your birth— where, when, whatever you know about that.

    Gaudium et Spes Labor Report September 2017 Clayton Sinyai Executive Director Among the basic rights of the human person is to be numbered the right of freely founding unions for working people. These should be able truly to represent them and to contribute to the organizing of economic life in the right way. Included is the right of freely taking part in the activity of these unions without risk of reprisal. Gaudium et Spes, Pastoral Constitution on the Church and the Modern World (1965) On the parish and diocesan level, through its agencies and institutions, the Church employs many people; it has investments; it has extensive properties for worship and mission. All the moral principles that govern the just operation of any economic endeavor apply to the Church and its agencies and institutions; indeed the Church should be exemplary. US Catholic Bishops, Economic Justice For All: Pastoral Letter on Catholic Social Teaching and the U.S. Economy (1986) Catholic social teaching endorses the right of workers to form labor unions and calls upon labor and management to establish cooperative relationships to advance their craft and the common good. When Catholic institutions and trade unions establish mutually rewarding partnerships, they teach in deed as well as in word. The Catholic Employer Project tracks labor relations at Catholic institutions across the United States. The CLN is pleased to report that we have identified approximately 500 Catholic institutions in the United States modeling Catholic social teaching through collaborative, mutually rewarding relations of collective bargaining with their direct and indirect (contract) employees.

  • Mark R. Day 1967–1970
    Mark R. Day 1967–1970 My Time with the UFW I first met Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta in Delano in 1966 shortly after I was ordained a priest of the Franciscan order. My classmates and I were taking a year of pastoral training under the supervision of Father Alan McCoy at St. Mary’s parish in Stockton, about an hour’s drive from Sacramento. Part of my duties at St. Mary’s were to assist farmworkers on the islands of the San Joaquin River delta. This was my first encounter with the exploitation and dependency of these workers and the structured injustice of the labor contractor system. At that time I had long talks with Fathers Tom McCullough and John Garcia, both of whom had done some pioneer work with farmworkers in the 1950s and 1960s. It was always the same story. As long as the church, meaning priests and nuns, kept quiet and did not create any waves, everything was fine. But when members of the church spoke out, they were attacked not only by the growers and their allies, but by church officials who benefited from the status quo. Such was the case of McCullough, Garcia, and Don McDonald. The last worked in San Jose and was a mentor to Cesar, introducing him to Fred Ross and the Community Service Organization. These priests clashed repeatedly with growers and with Archbishop John Joseph Mitty of San Francisco. They insisted that priests should stick to purely “spiritual” matters and stay in their sacristies. Cesar and Dolores spoke highly of these men and others such as Fr.
