Schreiner, Father Lawrence, Grand Rapids, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1863 December 30

 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-j

Scope and Contents

Being urged by Father Joseph Kindekens, Schreiner left for his missions to fix arrangements. The German congregation at Wright is to have one service a month and promised $85; the Irish at Berlin were granted one service a month and promised $142. The mixed and mostly French Congregation at Muskegon does not want a priest. The men are gone for lumber and will not return before summer; the women do not promise any payment. Grand Haven wants services once a month but arrangements could not be fixed there nor in the smaller missions. He asks permission to say 2 Masses on Sundays. He arrived in Detroit from Buffalo $7 in debt and arrived in Grand Rapids with very little money. He has received only $26 from his missions. It is difficult to pay board to Kindekens who insists upon it; Kindekens wants $16 so far. :: III-2-j A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
