In 1853 a petition was presented to Rome, and Santa Barbara was erected into a Hospice, as the beginning of an Apostolic College for the education of Franciscan novitiates who are to go forth, wherever sent, as missionaries. St. Anthony's College, the modern building near by, was founded by the energy of Father Peter Wallischeck. It is for the education of aspirants to the Franciscan Order.
Since that time Father O'Keefe has raised and expended thousands of dollars in repairing, always keeping in mind the original plans. He also rebuilt the monastery. San Luis Rey is now a college for the training of missionaries for the field, and its work is in charge of Father Peter Wallischeck, who was for so many years identified with the College of the Franciscans at Santa Barbara.
Francis, the founder of the Franciscan Order. Francis as a special sign of divine favor. Father Wallischeck is now arranging for the complete restoration of this beautiful little chapel and appeals for funds to aid in the work. "Beautiful for situation" was the spot selected for the only Mission founded during the first decade of the nineteenth century, Santa Inés.
