The area which he, the Bishop, had in view, first, for the Belgian Fathers - i.e., the magesterial districts of Rustenbergand Marico, and "our part of the Bechuanaland Protectorate" were now out of the question.. The former had been alotted to the Vicariate of Pretoria while the latter, "the Bechuanaland part" would in all proability be detached from Kimberley in the near future. The rest of the report deals with the staffing of the Orange Free State area of the Vicariate.

Overseas Missions; Johannesburg Foundation: copy letter from Valentine McMurray, C.P., to Caspar Caulfield, C.P., Missions Secretary General, in reply to his of 24-09-1962 (located at 8-1-4-27 serial no 6843). Bishop Boyle had promised Valentine to give the parish of Carletonville to the Congregation "plene iure et in perpetuum", but Valentine is not entirely convinced of the sincerity of the offer.. Feels that the Bishop was determined to have the fathers remain in Carletonville and so would not grant a foundation eslewhere except for North Riding, and that on condition that we remainn in Carletonville. North Riding not ideal. Valentine comments on matters relating to the ideal location: not necessary for mission procurator to reside in Johannesbursg; excellent facilities in Johannesburg for the occasional visits of missionaries: Johannesburg would be far from acceptable as a holiday centre for missionaries from Kalahari and its environs. Carletonville would be satisfactory in spite of the fact that there is no adjacent secondary sechool: and agreement to staff Carletonville, with an option of building later in North Riding, would be satisfactory.

Overseas Missions: Vicariate:

Overseas Missions: Vicariate: Johannesburg: copy letter from Fergus Loughrey, C.P., to the Mission Secretary General, Rome, Caspar Caulfield, C.P.,Outlines the general situation re the proposed foundation in Johannesburg. The property offered is 300 acres in extent. It is offered as a Retreat of the Congregation and is not thought of at the moment as mission ( Bechuanaland ) ( Botswana ) property. The new township of Carltonville is situated about 10 miles from the property, which the Bishop wants the Passionists to look after. Wrong to think of the new foundation as the See-City for the Bechuanaland (Botswana) Mission; the idea of a South African Province and an overseas Mission should be two distinct possibilities. The parish priests, living in a seperate residence at Carltonville, would need a rescript of exclaustrarion. No great fears re confusion in financial administration, as every effort would be made to keep diocesan and Congregational rights seperate. Whatever be decided, the Province could scarcely take on the new retreat unless we also had the parish and such financial advantages that would help until we were more firmly established.
