After repeated representations to his Superior General of the Redemptorists Ruland has been authorized to make the necessary arrangements to take charge of St. Joseph's Detroit congregation, besides that of St. Mary's Detroit if a house is to be established on a solid basis, as Ruland proposed to Lefevere in August last. Ruland's proposals deal with church property, present and future, church indebtedness, the Congregation's title to certain properties. In case the Redemptorists should leave Detroit the Church property would be returned to the bishop; on this principle they hold all their churches in the U. S. They will have nothing to do with trustees of any kind. If Lefevere accepts this arrangements, it will be presented to the Superior General for his approbation. :: III-2-i A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
