Identifier: CDET III-2-l

Scope and Contents

He is astonished at Hennaert's letter of July 7 about the $100 which Father John Wollowski collected for objects for the church. Wollowski had given the money to him to buy these objects. In his visit to Paris, Michigan, which he made at the request of his Superior General of the Resurrectionists and with the permission of the late Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere and Hennaert he did not take any money although he had a right to do so. Wollowski paid $25 for their journey and for Father Simon Wieczorek's journey to Canada for his religious exercises. Funcken has not had a collection taken up in Paris for himself but he has given to the parish various things which he lists. Funcken claims that the limitation of the faculties in these matters interferes with his right as religious superior. He has decided to call back from Michigan Wollowski and Brother Joseph and considers Wieczorek out of order. In defense of his own character he appeals to the Bishop of Hamilton where he has served for 12 years and to his Superior General. :: III-2-l A.L.S. 6pp. 12mo.
