A pastoral circular, titled ‘Notes for the Reverend Clergy’, issued by Bishop Joseph F. McGrath of the Diocese of Baker City. It outlines ten mandatory directives for parish priests, establishing the calendar and liturgical instructions for Lenten regulations, daily Gospel readings, and specific prayers like the Prayer to St. Joseph. The document also dictates the quotas for various ‘Diocesan Collections’ — such as the Three in One collection, Bishops’ War Relief Fund, and the Clergy Relief Fund — and lists the exact assessment amounts assigned to specific local towns and missions.
