 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-j

Scope and Contents

They Sisters of St. Bridget have read over the Rules, and found very little need be changed; a few things cannot be observed however. Pupils resent the monitor system of discipline; some spiritual exercises must be shifted as to time. Catharine Higgins, 30 years old, from Buffalo, possessing sufficient money for necessaries, wishes to be received on trial. Two young girls whom Father Thomas Brady put a dress on are not doing so well, protesting that he is their only superior; this protest appears among members of the parish to the extent of threatening to withdraw their support. The girls protested that the bishop had forbidden them to teach catechism in the church, Mother Angela corrected them by telling them the bishop's prohibition concerned only secular societies or sodalities and going out at night. :: III-2-j A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
