McNeirny, Father Francis, New York, New York, to Bishop Francis P. McFarland of, Hartford, Connecticut, 1867 October 21

 Item
Identifier: CDHT I-1-c

Scope and Contents

McNeirny apologizes for his delay since he wanted to remove any doubt about the ceremony for which he is to be master of ceremonies. He quotes from the decree that the altar must be consecrated at the same time that the church is to be consecrated. McNeirny takes for granted that the altar must be a fixed one. As to the address, since there is no founder he suggests that they omit it. The breaking of the seal of the present altar and extracting the relics would desecrate the present altar and McFarland can do that. He will try to get a copy of the Falise book and bring it to New Haven :: I-1-c A.L.S. 5pp. 4to.
