Rievers, Father Henry, Muskegon, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1866 June 1

 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-k

Scope and Contents

Rievers will leave there the first Sunday in June for Muskegon Dams and an island 14 miles from Muskegon inhabited by Indians and Canadians. Then to Black Creek, and back to Muskegon the 2nd Sunday in June; then to White Lake, Pentwater, Manistee, and Pere Marquette . It will take four weeks to visit these missions. The Muskegon congregation is in the most deplorable condition. A threat to leave scared the Catholics who are now flocking to confession. There has been no First Communion in ten years. He pities the people who seem well disposed. After his retreat he will visit Lefevere. A splendid addition has been put on the church which is not free of debt; the priesthouse is well furnished, but nothing in the church. :: III-2-k A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
