The Centennial Fountain was funded and built under the direction of the Catholic Church to “honor the Republic, express patriotism of the membership, and to promote the Irish-Catholic temperance societies.” There is an excellent article about the Centennial Fountain authored by Donald Lannon and published by Greg Burns in the Summer 2019 edition of The California Numismatist.
