RCALA 005537 TRANSLATION August 20, 1989 Greetings.... Because of various circumstances I was unable to return to communicate or to write about my petition, and I desire to continue my services to the Hispanic community in Los Angeles where I ministered with so beautiful and fruitful experiences... for 7 years. We all know how much the Hispanics need to have someone who will listen to them and understand their culture and one of my interests is to help them. For several very personal reasons, I have decided to become incardinated there as a secular priest. I belong to the Capuchin order and if you concede me this opportunity...! will begin soliciting Rome for exclaustration now - for one year. In hopes of your response and agreement... As of Oct. 4 I have completed 13 years of ordination and 24 years of religious life. If you wish further information, please ask. Fr. Luis Jaramillo RELIGIOUS APPOINTMENT TO RESIDENCE ST.
