A considerable amount of Catholic missionary extension work in the United States was aided by financial grants from the Societe de la Propagation de la Foi, a charitable organization founded at Paris on May 3, 1822. Prelates in underprivileged areas submitted annual reports of their activities along with proposed programs they had outlined for the coming year. Though the Territory of Utah was juridically attached Father Weber is archivist for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and professor of history at Queen of Angels Seminary, San Fernando, California. This report dated November 8, 1880, is in the archives of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
