Letter from Fr. Stephen Murtagh

1 p.; typescript

Letter from Fr. Stephen Murtagh OFM Cap. to Fr. Colman Griffin OFM Cap., Provincial Minister, on the approval of a major building project and ongoing friction with the local church hierarchy. Father Stephen reports that Bishop Manning has officially authorized the construction of an 8-classroom building. He asks Father Colman to petition Rome for permission to borrow up to $75,000 for the project. Father Stephen complains that ‘unnecessary interference’ from the Cardinal (James Francis McIntyre) caused delays that will now cost the order an additional $7,000 in construction costs
