Canonical Visitation Report for 1947

24 pp; typescript

Canoncial visitation report compiled by Fr. Stephen Murtagh OFM Cap. for the Irish Capuchin custody in the United States. The report includes extensive commentary on the spiritual, physical and financial condition of various churches and friaries in Oregon, California, and Delaware. The first part serves as an introduction exploring the concept of establishing a future independent Province and gauging how the custody’s members react to this idea. The second section briefly details the practical results of the house-to-house canonical visitations. Finally, the third part records the outcomes and decisions from an official meeting held between the Custos Provincial, his Consultors, and the Provincial leadership.
