Eugene Boyle, born in San Francisco in 1921, was ordained to the priesthood in 1946 after completing his studies at St. Joseph’s College Seminary. In 1956, he was appointed to the Archdiocesan Mission Band. In 1962, while he was serving as director of the Vallombrosa Retreat Center for Women, he became involved, as a chaplain, with the Catholic Interracial Council (CIC) of San Francisco, which addressed the Black struggle for equal rights, organized lectures on racial issues, and combated racial stereotyping.<\/span><\/p>\n

In September 1963, following the tragic attack on the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Boyle delivered a City Hall speech, advocating for a renewed clerical activism. He urged the Church and clergy to redefine their societal roles, emphasizing the importance of Christians actively contributing to the world’s \u201crenovation\u201d. In 1964, Boyle became chairman of the Archdiocesan Social Justice Commission, working with the CIC to oppose Proposition 14, which allowed real estate sellers to discriminate against Black individuals denying them the right to property. Despite their efforts, Proposition 14 passed, although it was later found unconstitutional by California\u2019s Supreme Court.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1965, Boyle supported Martin Luther King’s protest in Selma, Alabama. He also joined C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez in the march from Delano to Sacramento, advocating for farmworkers. He learned to fly so he could quickly fly to anywhere in California to join picket lines, rallies, marches, fasts, demonstrations, and Masses. He officiated mass in the last day of C\u00e9sar Chavez\u2019s first fasting in 1968. Boyle taught the Social Action Seminar at St. Patrick College Seminary but faced opposition from Archbishop McGucken due to his vision of modern priesthood and training that McGucken thought to be too political.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Little Kerner Report further intensified this opinion because it portrayed a racial crisis in San Francisco. It highlighted the need for improved police-community relations and identified instances of racism perpetuated by churches and synagogues. Less than two months after the Little Kerner Report, Boyle became pastor of Sacred Heart parish in San Francisco and supported the Black Panthers’ Breakfast Program for Children, offering space in the parish\u2019s basement in the Fillmore district in San Francisco.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Soon after he faced false accusations of using the program to indoctrinate children in violence by distributing the <\/span>Black Panther Coloring Book<\/span><\/i>, accusations which were later proven to be a setup by the FBI. These events, however, undermined Boyle’s credibility in McGucken’s view, leading to the cancellation of the Social Action Seminar. Boyle later became Director of Peace and Justice in Chicago and Director of Field Education in Berkeley. In 2000, Pope Saint John Paul II honored him with the title of Monsignor.<\/span><\/p>\n

The second of five children, Helen started working in the fields when she was only seven, picking up cotton and grapes together with her mother. Her father died when she was 12, and three years later she and her older sister Teresa quit Delano High School to work full-time and support their mother, their sister Petra, and their four brothers. That same year, 1943, she met Cesar Ch\u00e1vez.<\/span>

Cesar started working for the CSO shortly thereafter. During this time Helen kept busy being the primary caretaker of their eight children. When Cesar resigned from the CSO in 1962 and stopped receiving a salary, Helen, 34 years old at the time, went back to working in the fields part-time, picking grapes and assembling cardboard boxes at a local factory.<\/span>
