Identifier: CDET III-2-h

Scope and Contents

A committee of three, A. Pulte, A. Werthman and Caspar Wurzburg, were sent to the pastor of St. Mary's but the pastor Father Albert Schoeffler refused to see them but was willing to speak to the Society in the school building. The Society leaders appointed a committee of three to inform the Bishop. In this resolution they say they have been treated like black dragoons. Schoeffler refused to say a mass for them on St. Joseph's day and said they could not return their banner to the church. Schoeffler insists that they accept the role of the other parish societies which is nothing. They ask the opinion of the Bishop on these affairs. :: III-2-h D.S. 4pp. 4to.
