Processing Information
The collection is made up of two acquisitions (2015/014 and 2017/007) that were processed together into MS0012. Processing
and finding aid were done by Lynn Aiello, 2019.
There were many duplicate items in this collection. Two clean originals and any annotated copies of correspondence, memos,
event ephemera, forms, manuals and other were retained; duplicates of those were recycled. Some newpaper articles were photocopied
on archival paper and the originals were discarded. Other original newpaper articles were retained. Scrapbooks and photograph
albums were color photocopied and those with adhesive pages were dismantled; photographs were sleeved and the ephemera that
could be removed intact were put into folders. Binders, nonarchival folders, and containers were recycled or disposed of.
Any items such as membership rosters that contain personal information were shredded. Receipts were discarded and cancelled
checks were shredded.
Biographical / Historical
The Catholic Ladies Relief Society Chapter #1 (CLRS #1) was incorporated on April 24, 1888, two years after Reverend Patrick
Monogue was appointed the first Bishop of the Diocese of Sacramento by Pope Leo XIII. Prior to forming its own diocese, Sacramento
was part of the San Francisco diocese, where a group of women were actively engaged in charitable works through the San Francisco
church. Nine of these women applied for incorporation to start the Catholic Ladies Relief Society in order to provide assistance
to the poor, orphans, and other needy people within the Diocese of Sacramento regardless of their ethnicity or church affiliation.
CLRS #1 has been involved in a number of charitable activities since the group's inception, including the establishment of
the Catholic Welfare Bureau, now known as Catholic Social Services; giving Christmas baskets of food each year, which began
in 1900 and is still carried on today; the formation of the Sacramento Women's Council (1904-2004), which helped make the
city a beautiful and safe community with lighted streets, trees, and other civic works; opening and operating the Day Nursery
Home (1918), a day care for the children of cannery workers, the first of its kind; helping with the "Americanization" program
sponsored by the Sisters of Mary to assist immigrant children and their families; assisting with the Stanford Lathrop Home;
and sewing clothing for the children who lived at St. Patrick's Home after it opened in 1932.
CLRS volunteers have also provided financial donations to the Sacramento Food Bank, Loaves and Fishes, Maryhouse, Mustard
Seed School, and Bishop Gallegos Maternity Home, as well as material supplies such as sewing layettes and Christmas baskets.
Previously funded by dues and donations, CLRS became part of the Community Chest from 1923-1970, now known as the United Way,
which provided financial support. Although no longer receiving this support, the work of CLRS continues through membership
dues, fundraisers, and donations.
Scope and Contents
This collection documents CLRS #1 from its inception in 1888 to 2015, with most of the materials dating from circa 1960 to
2010. As of 2019, the organization is still currently active. The collection consists primarily of administrative records
like financial reports, membership records, annual convention programs and materials along with position papers, newsletters
and newspaper clippings, photographs (and some negatives), photograph albums, and scrapbooks that document the history of
this organization.
Materials were collected by various members through the years. Papers in binders and files belonging to specific individuals
are organized in folders bearing that individual's name, i.e. Jean Paolini Papers papers.
All folders are in alphabetical order by subject or event, and then arranged chronologically. The majority of photographs
can be found in Series 2, Events, though photos can be found throughout the three series. There is a note in "general notes"
for each folder that contains photographic media.
Series 3, Membership, has rosters for CLRS#1, as well as for the branch or subordinate societies: Marysville, CLRS#2; Chico,
CLRS#3; Colusa, CLRS#4; Grass Valley, CLRS#5; Auburn, CLRS#6; Citrus Heights, CLRS#11; and Oroville, CLRS#12.
Arrangement
This collection is arranged into 3 series:
Series 1. Administrative records, 1888-2015

Series 1. Administrative records, 1888-2015.

as CLRS newsletters and the CLRS Messenger, as well as The Ramblings of Father Dan, who is a popular Sacramento parish priest
and founder of the Loaves and Fishes mission. In addition, papers in binders and files belonging to specific individuals were
organized in folders bearing that individual's name, i.e. Jean Paolini papers.
Series 2. Events 1924-2015.
This series is made up of event-related materials, including an extensive collection of convention minutes and ephemera dating

among others.
Series 3. Membership, 1932-2015.
