Postcards from Paradise: The Burning of the Mortgage

Bishop Emeritus Higi, Father Pogue (present pastor)
and Father Bates
Father Bates, Father Goth (pastor of St. Lawrence) and Bishop Emeritus Higi

Father John, previous long-time pastor
of St. Francis, holds the church mortgage.

Bishop Emeritus Higi was bishop then
and dedicated the church.


With great glee,
Father John sets
the mortgage afire.
