Odin, John Mary, Archbishop of New Orleans, Louisiana, to Father Constantine Maenhaut, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1864 December 6
Scope and Contents
In reply to Maenhaut's letter of today, he should read the 6th and 7th statutes of the Second Synod of New Orleans and he will see that he is pastor of St. Louis Church as Father J.B. Jobert Joubert is pastor of St. Augustine, Father Hyacinthe Tumoine is pastor of St. Anne, Father E.J. Foltier of St. Vincent de Paul, etc. What is the difference between the pastor and the assistants? The duties and rights are clearly defined in theology and canon law. As for the revenues, Maenhaut knows that the salary of the pastor is double that of the assistants. For casual fees of funeral services, each received the portion fixed by the trustees; for the solemn and votive sung Masses, and for marriages, it is a point they wish to establish in a just way and it is on this point that Odin asked Maenhaut to inform him. He repeats that request. ` A. Draft French 1p. ` The above is written on the following letter:
