For the past fifteen years he has been pastor of the Catholic church at St. Helena, where he has worked zealously and accomplished ac-complished a great deal. Having recently resigned his pastorate he is going to devote the balance of his life to the care of the sick. The San Jose Times gives a brief account of the noble enterprise: "Rev. Father Blake, for fifteen years pastor of the St. Helena parish, who recently announced his intention of devoting his life to the care of victims of tuberculosis, has selected a site for his hospital. Father Blake has selected a site near Mission San Jose for the sanitarium. He has had plans prepared for a modern three-story edifice that will accommodate 400 patients. The grounds will extend over thirty acres, and on account of its natural advantages will attract patients from all over the world. "Father Blake has long cherished the hope of establishing a modern hospital for consumptives. The dread ravages of the disease has long been a matter of deep study and concern with the self-sacrificing self-sacrificing priest, and when he asked permission of his ecclesiastical superiors to resign his pastoral pas-toral charge the consent was readily given. Father Blake has enlisted the financial support of a number num-ber of wealthy residents of San Francisco in the enterprise." , |
