Scope and Contents

Father Glynn's most gracious plan to erect at Rome near the new College of his order a Church for the use not only of Romans, but especially of visitors who speak English came to the ears of Pope Leo XIII. He was pleased first of all that this edifice be erected to the honor of Saint Patrick, Apostle of the Irish, who was consecrated bishop at Rome by Saint Celestine I, and under the latter's order and auspices sent to instruct Ireland in the Christian Faith. And so the Pope, who has always loved the Irish nation, has highly approved of this plan and imparts a special blessing on all those who give money towards the erecting of this shrine. And in order to confirm by an example the faithful, especially of the English language in their task of collecting the funds, and though hindered by the adversity of the times, he has given four thousand Italian lira towards the work. He prays God to safeguard Father Glynn. :: I-2-f Printed L Latin 1p. 12mo.
