• 30 June - Correspondence between Dublin, Parkminster (Sussex) and Rome regarding a proposal to make a foundation in Dublin. Archbishop suggests the Farnan property at Moone to Prior of Parkminster as it is his desire ‘to have a Cathusian, not Cistercian, house in my diocese’. +Patrick Dunne (auxiliary) visits Parkminster (where he knows Dom Stephen, brother of Dom Eugene OCSO Boylan) and draws up short put penetrating report. Archbishop’s evident lack of sympathy for the Cistercian life in contrast with his enthusiasm for Carthusians. Carthusians regret inability to accept offer, essentially due to lack of personnel, though there is an interesting suggestion of an historic Carthusian prejudice against Irish foundations. Several brochures on Carthusian life. CF also file ‘Cistercian Monks’. Carmelites Calced (O. Carm)
