Identifier: CDET III-2-k

Scope and Contents

Lefevere's mandate of July 25 was given Kindekens by Father, Henry Beerhorst. Although distasteful, Kindekens will obey, but he, proposes some practical queries. He is commanded to take charge of, the spiritual affairs of St. Andrew's in Grand Rapids, but nothing is, said about temporalities. As pastor with an assistant, who is going to, support them? A check-up with the trustees and his brother Father, Joseph Kindekens the former pastor, shows the congregation owes, him $330.89, $100 to school teacher, sexton, etc. His brother has asked, Lefevere's permission to join a religious community. Since it takes 2, years before vows, his brother, without an exeat, would remain, suspended during that time. Kindekens will have to go to Adrian on, business for 3 or 4 weeks, and asks permission to absent himself from, his new parish for that time. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
