Report by the Regular Superior on the verbal process at the canonical visitation of the parish of the Immaculate Conception, Parow, South Africa. Reference is made to the establishment of a separate fund for the erecting of a Friary in Parow.

A pastoral report on Parow Parish, Cape Province, South Africa, compiled by Fr. Didacus McGrath OFM Cap. (1929-2018). The report refers to the three areas within the parish: Tiervlei (Tyger Valley), Parow and Elsies River. The report notes that ‘in the parish, taken as a whole, the proportion of Coloured to White is 2 to 1. It can scarcely be classed a “White” Parish. We use the term “White” and “Coloured” with no intention of approving a situation. The Churches in Parow and Tiervlei are almost certainly the only Churches with mixed attendance in the area’.
