Item
Identifier: CANO VI-2-a
Scope and Contents
Would Blanc consecrate the Holy Oils and Chrism for Natchez this year? Elder has no place to celebrate but a part of their basement. There are only three priests and no master of ceremonies. The time at which their Cathedral will be finished is uncertain; he hopes some time next month or by Pentecost. Is it out of place to invite Blanc for the blessing? Whom would Blanc recommend to preach? If it were a consecration he would call on Bishop Martin John Spalding or Archbishop John Baptist Purcell . Father Thomas L. Grace of Memphis was in Elder's mind. What kind of preacher in English is Father Paul Jordan? :: VI-2-a A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
