[typewritten body of letter:] February 1, 1918.    Miss Mary J. Workman,  711 Jackson Street,  City.    Very dear friend:   I have received your letter of the 30th., ult.  It reached me \"this day after the fair\".  It would have given me great pleasure to have met Dr. King and to be instructed by his discourse; but, on that day and some days previous I was in Santa Barbara conferring the Sacrament of Holy Orders.   I have your letter of an earlier date.  In a few days, I hope to ask some woman to help you with this work.  If we had a priest with a congenial temperament the matter could be easily solved.  I am as yet too unfamiliar with conditions to at present appoint any priest.  We do not, however, go astray when we follow the spirit of the Church which always turns the kind of work referred to over to women.  A first - class sensible woman would suit the occasion.     Thanking you very much, I am    Devotedly yours in Christ,   [signed:] John J. Cantwell  [typewritten title:] Bishop of Monterey and Los Angeles."},{"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 letter dated February 1, 1918 from Fr.
