Letter from +Riberi to +McQuaid stating that the Sacred Congregation of Seminaries and Universities has organised the first National Italian Congress for Ecclesiastical Vocations. It is hoped this will assist in increasing the number of vocations. Cardinal Pizzardo, Prefect of the Sacred Congregation would like a representative from each country to attend, preferably the person in charge of diocesan vocations. As there is no National Director in Ireland, and there is not much time before the event, it is hoped that the Hierarchy would allow the appointment of Mgr. Donal Herlihy of the Irish College.

The Diocesan Archive is open to all researchers by appointment only, from 9:30am to 1:00pm and 2:00pm to 4:45pm, Monday to Friday.
