Letter from Bishop Edmond John Fitmaurice to Fr. Brendan O’Callaghan OFM Cap. granting the Capuchin Fathers of the Irish Province permission to establish a House of Residence for their ‘Mission Band’ within or near Wilmington, Delaware. The letter outlines five specific conditions, including requiring the bishop’s approval for the house, using it solely as a mission base without gaining rights to conduct a parish, and a strict prohibition on collecting alms or appealing to local charity. Additionally, any private chapel built inside must be for the exclusive use of the friars themselves, barring the laity from attending Mass there.
