Description

Holograph letter from Sr. Mary Lelia Mangan, Convent of Our Lady of Mercy, St. Vincent's, Galway, to the Holy Father. Asking him to hold a novena in Lisieux benefiting primarily the Irish hierarchy; the Irish are suffering from unrest, poverty and delusions. Black fasts ought to be held also to counter the persecutions of the church in Mexico. Pius XI himself may be the bishop Ireland needs to become the Island of Saints again. [Enclosed] further suggestions to the Pope and the Irish Primate detailing the course of black fasts invoking the Holy Trinity for St. Theresa's intercessions. Her last concern is a law the Holy See should make 'forbidding the clergy to frequent convents of Religious women or take part in their common recreations'.
