Sestini, S. J. Father B., Woodstock College, Maryland, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1876 March 23

Identifier: CMMA I-2-b

Scope and Contents

The priests in charge of the new church at Paray-le-Monial wish to erect one chapel to the Sacred Heart for every nation of the Catholic World. Sestini wishes McMaster to publish articles about the venture and to begin a subscription campaign to erect an American chapel. He was going to have the Messenger handle the campaign but concluded that a weekly paper would reach more Catholics willing to contribute than would a monthly magazine. He commends McMaster on his handling of the drive for a Sanctuary Lamp for Paray-le-Monial and says that the necessary $5000 should be a comparatively easy goal to reach. In addition he offers to send a list of most likely contributors if McMaster is interested in the project. :: I-2-b A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
