...Franciscan zeal waned; in 1835 there were but 150 Indian converts at Carmel. Uncared for, the San Carlos Mission fell prey to wind and rain, which destroyed its tiled roof, and to weeds which engulfed Fray Junipero's cell and his grave. Not until 1882 was restoration begun on the mission. Not until last week, which brought the 153rd anniversary of the good Franciscan's death, was the restoration of his simple cell completed. By then, the Franciscans now in charge of the Carmel Mission, and their superior, Bishop Philip George Scher of the Monterey-Fresno diocese...

This was enough to set in motion Fray Junipero's cause for beatification, preparatory to which the Church, if it found he had been responsible for miracles, would give him the title "Venerable."

The explorer-priest, a Jesuit, is shown in the robes of a Franciscan monk, simply be cause Sculptor James Earl Fraser saw him that way in an old print...
...robe altered. Last week Dr. Nesbit's plans became public when Commissioner of Public Works Oscar Edwin Hewitt approved the project on condition that a competent sculptor could be found to do a historically accurate job at no cost to the city. Fortunately, Pere Marquette's Franciscan habit can easily be chiseled into resemblance of a Jesuit mantle without even moving the plaque. Sculptor Eugene Romeo will reduce the Franciscan hat to a skullcap, take the fullness out of the robe, remove the monk's cowl, incise a flat cincture about the waist...
