Scope and content

1846034 Blessd Charles Houben, C.P., Writings: McEvoy family:original letter written by Blessed Charles from St. Joseph's Retreat, Highgate, London. to Mrs. McEvoy, Tobertynan House, Enfield, Co. Westmeath, regarding the 1st Holy Communion of her daughter, Pauline, (typed copy attached). He encloses a "miraculous prayer" to B.V.M., which he wishes Pauline to say every day (see item under serial number 8831) The McEvoy family was visited by Fr. Charles on several occasions. In gratitude for the gift of a baby daughter (i.e. Pauline) - some maintain as a result of intercession by Fr. Charles - they erected a shrine to Our Lady of Lourdes in the woods at their house in 1868. Fr. Charles may have blessed this shrine. For interesting developments re the shrine see correspondence located at 4/4/3/20-25. The daughter, Pauline, named after St. Paul of the Cross, may also have been cured in later life by Blessed Charles. She married the Duke de Stacpoole in 1883.
