Father Peter Magagnotto, CP. Founder Of Saint Joseph Church, Marysville. “To Build and not to Count the Cost”, by Fr John Dwyer, printed in the Catholic Herald, January 8, 1976, Sacramento Diocesan Archives, https://www.scd.org/sites/default/files/2017-06/Vol_2_No_3_Father_Peter_Magagnotto_of_Marysville.pdf, accessed 28 September 2025:

Born in Ala in the Tyrol, in the Diocese of Trent on February 22, 1806, Peter Magagnotto joined the Passionists when he was twenty-five. After ordination he became a professor of theology, and in 1840 was appointed superior of a monastery at Tourney in Belgium. In 1845 he was sent to Sydney, Australia to attempt to establish the Passionist Fathers in that area, a venture which failed. On his return he came by way of the United States and landed in San Francisco right at the time of the boom caused by the gold rush. [...] By 1867 Father Peter was back in Rome and while giving a mission at Castel Perziano on November 17, 1868 he died.
