Allgayer acknowledges faculties to absolve from excommunication. Father Amandus Van Den Driessche of Assumption Church has promised to give a mission in Muskegon if Lefevere consents and will send a priest to take the place of Van Den Driessche. A week's mission will not do, since the congregation is composed of Irish, German, and French who need separate instructions in their own language. The congregation has been sadly neglected, the church run down. In summer there are many transients of all races and creeds. Not one-third of them have made their Easter duty in years, half of them living in mixed marriages, the rest of them satisfied with Sunday Mass attendance and supporting the priest. Most Catholics work in saw-mills. Since there has never been Confirmation and the cemetery never consecrated, Lefevere is invited to do both at the end of the mission. Allgayer has recently been to Manistee, Michigan, but Father Ignatius Mrak, of Sault St. Mary was there shortly before Allgayer. The congregation can hardly support a priest, and a few Irishmen appear to run things for private gain. If Lefevere wishes Allgayer to attend Pent Water this summer, he should send an assistant priest for 4 weeks to get to Manistee from Muskegon. Allgayer must get a sailing vessel from Chicago or Milwaukee, a two week round-trip. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 5pp. 12mo.
