The Central Council of the Association of the Propagation of the Faith allocates 8,000 francs for Detroit for 1856. According to custom and the reason of contingency of their receipts, a fifth of this sum will become definite after the close of the actual year. Lefevere, with them, will bless Divine Providence for this charity despite the difficulties of these last days. They were happy to be able to include Lefevere's diocese in this division despite the very insufficient receipts in the presence of the always increasing number of missions. They have not done all that they would wish to do, but they hope the bishop will increase a hundredfold what they can give. Father Peter Kindekens received 3,000 francs, conformable to the bishop's authorization. Signed by Choiselat as secretary-treasurer. :: III-2-i A.D.S. French 3pp. 8vo.
