Identifier: CDET III-2-k

Scope and Contents

Father Edward Van Lauwe and he spoke about the Irish congregation. When Father Peter Kindekens was leaving he told Ehrenstrasser he had nothing to do with the Irish parish except say Mass there Sundays and attend the sick and that he need not hear Irish confessions. However, Ehrenstrasser has heard them, but few responded. He has difficulty when they speak too fast. Van Lauwe also told him he had no permission to hear Irish confessions, and that Kindekens had power to suspend him for doing so. Ehrenstrasser brought some church utensils from Belgium. Father F _____ Van Emstaede interprets the law that once used in a church, these utensils would belong to it in case there are not enough for divine service. He does not include things he got from Father Rector of Louvain. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
