Reared by their Alma Mater in an atmosphere of sincere moral and intellectual ad­ vancement they have had a powerful influence on the communities that have welcomed them. Founded originally as a Mission by Padres de la Pena and Murguia, on January 12, 1777, the little settlement successfully passed through the ordeals of flood and earthquake only to be ruined by the persecutions of the Mexican government after that country had won its struggle against Spain. Under the new gov­ ernor of California, Echandia, known as "the scourge of the mis­ sions," slowly but surely the property of the missions or rather of the Indians, was wrested from them by the unjust intriguing of the government. Father Viader, who succeeded Father Murguia, left in 1833, broken hearted, dying shortly afterwards. He was suc­ ceeded by Father Diego Garcia, afterwards the first Bishop of Cali­ fornia.

  • Usf Demolishes Santa Clara 3-0
    San Francisco FOGHQ UNIVERSITY OF SAN FRANCISC VOLUME88 NUMBER? WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1991 USF DEMOLISHES SANTA CLARA 3-0 Laurie Sargent Foghorn Sports Staff Tuesday, Oct. 15, the University of Santa Clara had a close encounter of the worst kind. It was a cold, foggy evening at Negoesco Stadium. It was pitch black and the only sound was thunderous instrumental music. Then in a flash, the stadium was flooded with light and there they stood in front of 1,585 screaming fans and 11 Dons: lean, pow­ erful, skilled gladiators ready to capture a win from the undefeated Broncos of Santa Clara. The first half revealed the very physical and tough defense played by both of the teams. There were four yellow cards and one red card issued during the match that was highlighted by 47 total fouls. At the end of the half the score was still 0-0 after stellar defense and hard fouls by both USF and Santa Clara. Once again, Angelo Sablo lead the mighty Dons to victory with one goal and an assist in the 3-0 rout over #1 ranked Santa Clara. Sablo has scored four goals and one assist in the Dons' last three victo­ ries. The first goal came as Sablo broke down the left­ side and sent a perfect crossing pass to Francois Staale Soebye scored against Santa Clara for a 2-0 lead, though he misses on the header j0hn Nichols/Foghorn Duny who headed the ball into the net from 10 yards out 12 minutes into the second half.

    Thirteenth Sunday June 27, 2021 in Ordinary Time “Talitha koum, I say to you ARISE!” Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish 1775 Grove St. Glenview IL 60025 Parish Office 847-729-1525 olphglenview.org seek, share, rejoice - pastor's letter... Dear Parishioners, “Talitha koum, I say to you arise!” Jesus’ command to the daughter of Jairus who died, inspires us to recall that the Lord is always calling us to new life. The Gospels each week recall the life-giving powers of Our Lord. Again, and again, out of the grip of sin, evil and death, the Lord invites us to begin anew. It happens when we receive the Eucharist, it happens when we go to confession, it happens when we confront our own sinfulness. It was indeed a profound moment when our Lord brought that little girl back to life. This sense of being born anew is very much in the air as we heal and recover from the pandemic. The clarion call in parish life these days is, “Welcome Back!” It uplifts me every weekend as I see more Jerry Boland, Pastor and more people returning to Mass. I feel we are so blessed. We have gradually been expanding our Mass options. We are now at full capacity. Next weekend we will restore the 7:30 am Mass and on July 12 we will restore the 6:30 am Mass. The restoration of the 6:30 am Mass will require some patience. The priests, like you, have not been able take vacations in almost 2 years. We have quite a backlog of funerals and weddings (13 on the board) right now.
