Callaert, Father Desiderius, Marshall, Michigan, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1868 November 2
Scope and Contents
He regrets he was not home when Lefevere visited Marshall. He was at Stony Creek where he met opposition. The Germans in Marshall are grateful to Lefevere for sending a German-speaking priest. Some are lukewarm, others have left the church. All goes well except they have no school due to the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, withdrawal, especially Sister Ignatia. Application to Father Edward Joos and the Mother Superior at Monroe has been made for the Sisters' return, but cannot be complied with and he asks Lefevere's permission to apply to some other religious community as it is almost five months that the children are without a Catholic school. Should the people of Albion come to Lefevere, will he tell them to postpone the building of their church until next spring as Callaert's health is precarious. :: III-2-l A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
