to Mr. Editor McMaster, James Alphonsus, New York, New York, 1869
Scope and Contents
The writer hopes that, since the Catholic papers of Europe are going to reporduce the writer's circular letter, the editor's newspaper will also concur with some outstanding publicity according to the ideas of the circular in order to prepare the faithful and clergy for the great event whereby the Vatican Fathers will place the universal Church under the supreme patronage of St. Joseph. The editor is requested to collect the money offerings of the faithful, publish the amounts and names of donors, and send them on to the procurator general of the Jesuits of of the Dominicans, who will send them to the general collector, Father Thomas Beldrati, a Dominican of Ferrara. If the editor cannot print the donors' names he can ask someone able to discharge this required task. The discharger will bear in mind to send the funds to Rome with the donors' names. In publishing this circular the editor must call attention to the enormous difference between the present feast of the Patronage of St. Joseph and as Patron of the Universal Church. By a constitution of Benedict XIV, SS. Peter and Paul are patrons only of Rome; St. Michael is in the liturgy called patron in another sense. St. Joseph will bless the editor, seeing his diocese concur in the triumph. :: I-1-n printed L French 4pp. 2 printed on 12mo.
