On January 9, 1927, Capuchin Franciscan Fathers of Our Lady of Angels Parish, founded the previous November, become chaplains and confessors to the sisters, and began saying the daily Mass in the convent chapel. Previously, Mass was celebrated by the priests from St. Catherine’s Parish, founded in 1908, which was the only parish in Burlingame and was founded the same year the City of Burlingame was incorporated.
Our Lady of Angels School opened August 27, 1927, staffed by the Sisters of Mercy. Professed Sister Sister Mary Rosarii Wood was appointed principal. The four original teachers were novices: Sisters Mary Euphrasia Butler, Mary Clarence Norton, Mary Petronilla Gaul, and Mary Ernestine Schafer. These novices professed their vows in 1928.
