This Indian mission is very important but they need a priest who can speak their language well; they have 31 converts. Father Seraphim Zorn of Little Traverse would be willing to join him if Hennaert grants him permission. Father Nicholas Louis Sifferath could attend Little Traverse . Their Catholic Indians, with 18 white families last week formed a regular congregation. The new church of Leland is commenced and Carp Lacke will commence today. They will have a priest together from now. In Traverse City there are extensive preparations for a church and priest's house. There is a church in Glean Arbor but not finished. They will build a church in Elk Rapids before winter. Benzie County does not belong to Herbstrit's district but the Catholics of Frankfurth and others petitioned him to take care of them. Detroit churches could help out by sending spare vestments and altar equipment. :: III-2-l A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo. 12
