Identifier: CDET III-2-k

Scope and Contents

Wermers has been in Grand Rapids nearly a month; so far there has been no great difficulty. The new parish committee just elected by the congregation consists of J. Clancy, J. Godfroy, St. O'Brian and Mr. Riordan . To meet expenses for the ensuing year, pew rent will be raised 50 per cent. The deficit, $356, will be raised from new pew-holders. Other resolutions have not been adopted. The church has to be enlarged, a new school and priest's house, a church-bell. Wermers requests Lefevere to send Father Gustave Limpens, or some other priest, for the first week of Lent or during Easter time. P.S. Lefevere is asked to send the enclosed note to the Sisters. Father Henry Beerhorst has received Lefevere's letter, and sends his respects; he is well and works hard in his parish and is a good neighbor. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
