Note:

The Young Ladies' Institute was founded in San Francisco on September 5, 1887 as a Catholic Women's charity organization. Beginning its emphasis on helping women newly arrived in San Francisco, it branched out into assisting schools, orphanages, and rest homes. Typically, young women of a particular Catholic parish would organize into a chapter of the Young Ladies' Institute. In addition to charitable activities, these chapters would also hold social events such as dances for their members. Eventually, the Young Ladies' Institute extended its sphere of influence from San Francisco to all of the western states.
Gabriel Institute #62 was formed as a chapter of the Young Ladies' Institute by a group of seventeen women from St. Joseph's Parish in San Francisco on September 12, 1909. In 1991 the Gabriel Institute merged with the Del Mar Institute #66, formed in 1916. The combined group became the Del Mar Institute #62.
