Memarbashi and Schelhot thought Hudson would be pleased to know the status of their mission in Syria and Mesopotamia. For a long time these places were in darkness. After a long period they began to turn again to the faith of their fathers. A little Syro-Catholic community was able to be formed. The patriarch of Antioch has under his jurisdiction four archbishops and seven bishops. Six new missions have been opened among the heretics. Innumerable requests are made to Patriarch Ignatius George Schelhot by 60,000 Monophysites who are inclined to choose their faith. The patriarch lacks the means to carry out his work of salvation. He received financial help for this object through the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith. When no longer able to support the mission it recommended to the Patriarch a collection among the Catholics of America. This task is imposed on them. Archbishop John McCloskey allowed them to collect in his diocese. They ask Hudson to exhort his readers to respond to the project. :: X-2-g A.L.S. Latin 6pp. 12mo.
