Your Grace my dear Archbishop
Three years ago to - day I was sitting
m front of you when you told me
the wonderful news- we had permis
sion for a Foundation in the Diocese
of Dublin. I shall never forget that
moment. That is why I am writing
I am sure that you could never
imagine just how I felt! But as
long as I live I shall recall that
moment and you, Your Grace,
with the deepest sentiments of
gratitude. The knowledge of my
own unworthiness makes my
gratitude the greater, and my lov-
ing confidence stronger I hope
y i will never be sorry for
having given the permission
My prayers for you are daily,
and I am sure dear St. Joseph
who has done the miraculous
for me during these three yours
will not fail to do great things for you
too. You have the prayers of some thirty-
seven hundred Sisters praying for you
the last repart I had from st Josephs
there were eleven patients Magnificat!
Is that not the fruit of the Blessing
on May 1st.
I have at last a lovely photo of
you and was so pleased to show
Cit here at the General House I
waited three years but "omne
trinum ist perfectum" Are you
smiling
No your Grace, I am not forget-
ting the reason you had in mind
in granting us a little corner in
your vineyard Now st. Joseph
must get us good and numerous
subjects. How I would like to
opened the rest of my days re-
writing Fiat
We will have our General Elections
on July 2nd so please remember
this in your prayers
Rev. Mother joins me in sending
kindest personal wishes and the
renewed assurances of prayers
May our Divine Lord give you grace
and health to continue your great work

be able to do something tangible to save Bragil and all those Latin
American Countries for the Church I is such an appalling situation
that no one with a spark of zeal could help but want to do some-
thing to help If, even Mel children in the Schools offered a prayer
daily for this great need surely the Missioners would gain courage
and force? I know what an appeal it will make to the

Dear St. Josephs in Raheny is struggling bravely. It is creeping
The fact that it is a little distant from the heart of the city, together
with the fact that the Doctors at ledet many of them dont know it
means that their numbers are still not sufficient for them to

Every day, I pray for you and I m silre St. Joseph has done much

Your Grace:
While in Rome you sent a letter to Mother de Pazzi
giving your sanction for an addition of some extra rooms
At the Nursing Home in Raheny. Now, the plans have
been sent to Monsignor Fitzpatrick with changes which we
felt necessary to meet the present needs.
In order to finance this addition, we need to borrow
the sum of £40,000. The Bank is willing to give us the
loan on condition that they receive a letter of approval
from Your Grace. Please, may I ask you for this favor?
There is another letter that is necessary for the
Sacred Congregation in order to obtain the Indult. We
Would appreciate your letter of approval.
Many thanks for all you do for us. It would be a
a great pleasure to see you if it is convenient for you.
Please give us your blessing.
Sincerely yours in Christ,

May we have your permission
to sell approximately two or three
acres of our land on the corner
of Edenmore Road and
Harmonstown Road. Our entire
property comprises about eight acres,
The selling of this amount of land
and its location will not in
any way hamper future
development. This sale of land
will help to reduce our heavy
debt

soon and asking your blessing
