John J. Cantwell  San Francisco,    My dear Father Cantwell,   We have learned that you are chosen to be our Bishop.  we want to tell you how very welcome you will be, and to express an earnest hope that we may be able, in our small way, to co-operate with you in your great work as Bishop of Monterey and Los Angeles.   We feel almost presumptuous to say this, but we take courage when we remember that even the widow's mite was of value in the sight of God.   We hope that the contribution of our sincere effort may have some value in your eyes.  It will be given whole heartedly.    With best wishes, believe me,  Cordially yours,   Mary J. workman [Pres]"},{"label":"Source","value":"Department of Archives & Special Collections, William H.

She became the first woman to join the Municipal League, a civic watchdog group. A Roman Catholic who built cooperative relationships with church leaders, she founded the diocesan chapter of the National Council of Catholic Women in 1924. She led the Los Angeles Civil Service Commission from 1927 to 1928 and helped establish local chapters of the League of Women Voters and the National Conference of Christians and Jews. Throughout her life Workman was active in numerous social and religious efforts in her native city.  John Joseph Cantwell was appointed Bishop of Monterey and Los Angeles in September 1917, and served in that office until the diocese was split in 1922 into the Diocese of Monterey-Fresno and the Diocese of Los Angeles-San Diego, with Bishop Cantwell remaining in Los Angeles-San Diego.  The Diocese was split again in 1936 to create the Diocese of San Diego and the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, with Bishop Cantwell becoming the first Archbishop of Los Angeles, serving until his death in 1947.  His tenure is noted for his outreach to non-English speaking parishioners, creating 50 Hispanic parishes and missions."},{"label":"Description","value":"A handwritten letter dated Sept 20, 1917 to Fr.
