Subseries 4 - Mission and Retreat Correspondence

16 files; Manuscript; Typescript

The sub-series contains a large collection of letters written to the Capuchin friars requesting parish missions, tridua, retreats, public sermons and lectures. The letters are mostly from local clerics and parish priests, religious congregations (both male and female), and lay religious sodalities and temperance associations. Some of the letters provide detail on religious practices and observance. Other letters give information on local temperance activities.
