Minutes and Resolutions of the Definitory Meeting

1 p.; manuscript

A note recording the official administrative resolutions passed during a meeting of the Definitory held on from 3-4 April 1902 at the Convent of the St. Mary of Angels Church, Church Street, Dublin. The text notes the formal personnel transfer of Fathers Louis, Camillus, and Albert from Dublin to the monastery at Rochestown, County Cork. It details the council's approval of the specific text and design for a certificate issued to individuals taking a one-year Total Abstinence Pledge in Dublin, alongside the sanctioning of a dedicated badge and lifetime enrolment certificate for life members of the sodality. Financially, the document authorizes extending the lease on a house at White Bay for an additional year, under the strict condition that a careful and detailed account of all expenditures be maintained. Finally, it addresses internal sodality governance, stating that the appointment of Superiors remains under the authority of the Very Reverend Father Provincial and directing that Presidents of Sodalities appoint a constant deputy or vice-president to ensure continuous, responsible leadership during temporary absences.
