Item 700 - 29 October 1956

1p

Letter from +Levame to +McQuaid stating that while the Holy Father wishes to meet with all Bishops, he will now have to regulate these audiences due to the growing number of diocese and the number of requests made to see him. Bishops will be seen at the ‘Ad Limina’ visit but to date, not all prelates even attend Rome at this time. Audiences will be granted on other occasions but only when an extraordinary case can be made. It is also suggested that Bishops try and avoid an excessive influx towards the end of the year rendering it difficult to comply with requests for audiences.

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.
