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

Dear Fr Tim:

This is with regards to Fr. Luis Jaramillo. A few days ago, he talked with Bishop Arzube explct":i.ng his interest in working here. He to(d him all about his problems with the superior and what happened some-where else.

Bishop Arzube told him to ask for an appointment and explain his case to you that he would back him up. This is the reason 1 tried to talk to you but 1 know you are very busy and the times you called me back 1 was out, or in church.

Fr. Jaramillo is supposed to leave soon, but he is waiting for a chance to talk

_ti) you.

Hoping for an answer, 1 remain

Dear REDACTED

REDACTED 1531 Wf'sf Ninth Street

California 9001'5-1194

Having spoken to you two weeks ago about the situation with Father Luis Jaramillo, OFM Cap., I am finding it very difficult to understand why you have allowed him to stay on in residence at Presentation.

You assured me he would leave immediately and that was the second time we had discussed the matter.

You never asked for faculties for him and you allowed him to work in the parish.

This week, REDACTED phoned me to say that it had been reported to him that Father Jaramillo was in fact still at Presentation. I told him I did not think that was possible, as you had assured me otherwise.

But I have called the rectory just now to find that you are away in the Philippines and Father Jaramillo is there in the rectory. I spoke with him and told him that he. is to look for a Capuchin Franciscan house in which he can and that he is to vacate Presentation parish by tomorrow.

Father Jaramillo told me that you would be home Friday. I would appreciate a call confirming that Father Jaramillo has in fact left residence in your parish.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Dear Msgr. Dyer:

F

Please be informed that Fr. Jaramillo has left Presentation Church. The parishoners gave him a farewell reception last Sunday. I bad to leave for the Philippines for the funeral of my mother.

He postponed his leaving after talking with Bishop Arzube who suggested to an appointment with you. He also asked Cardinal Mahony when the Cardinal came to do the confirmation and got the same answer to see you. He kept waiting for this interview which never came after 1 sent a letter to you.

1 did not mean to defy your order, Father Jaramillo was hoping for an interview as suggested by Bishop Arzube and the Cardinal.

1 called you as soon as 1 got here, but 1 uuderstand you are very busy.

Sincerely REDACTED
