Kluck, Father Peter, Detroit, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detorit, Michigan, 1868 June 29

 Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-i

Scope and Contents

He is impelled to lay before Lefevere the true state of the Polish Station of the Immaculate Conception situated in Paris, Michigan . Since seeing Lefevere a few days before Pentecost of this year, he has endeavored in this Station, to which soon after his return from Mexico Lefevere reappointed him, to perform all parochial duties punctually, and fully. He had removed all discord and contentions produced by Father Francis Breitkopf, C.R. . On the third Sunday after Pentecost, Breitkopf showed up and held divine service, saying that 1. He himself was to live among them or if not he would send them a Polish priest in a short time, saying that Lefevere had sent $400 to Rome to pay traveling expenses; 2. Breitkopf put Urban Kucharezyk in his place saying what he commands, they must do; 3. Breitkopf declined to go on a sick call for which Thomas Wyrzykowsky had come for him; 4. Breitkopf brought a large box saying that it contained church goods to be raffled saying the people were obliged under mortal sin to take chances. After the raffling, no one saw any of the highly prized articles. He is said to have raised more than $300. Kluck can prove all this through canonical witnesses; he can enumerate many more facts of far more importance and of a more delicate and dangerous character. :: III-2-i A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
