An ‘ad clerum’ ( Latin for ‘to the clergy’) is a letter or announcement primarily addressed to ordained ministers from their Bishop.
There are regular, formal notices that the Bishop uses to inform or instruct his clergy for their awareness or action. There are also other ad hoc letters and notes about specific topics.
Heading "Excerpt from coming Ad Clerum"
Encloses his promised letter and urges it to be read at all masses on Sunday 5th February. Distribute the brochure too. Push for covenants. This is a pastoral priority which needs to involve much of the community as Arundel & Brighton found. Mentions "Wilson Plan" and Bernard Wright.
- Changes to standard letter head - not quite
- Many demands in the year hence a gap in replacing Fr Tony Sketch
- Muriel Phillips as a member of the Shrine Council - fine
- Eucharistic ministers - Sr Eileen easy to re-commission. Cannot recall Peter Whitlock but there is a wider problem in the Diocese about management of Eucharistic minsters - a register must be kept as in recent Ad Clerums
"A Letter I received from one of you stopped me in my tracks!, I confess, rightly or wrongly, that I was angered by it." Enclosed an extract from the forthcoming Ad Clerum, plus the Bishop's letter for 5 February Sunday Masses, "so you know my mind".
Clark, Alan Charles Rev DD (1919-2002)Form letter from Bishop Clark - enlosed [not present] arrived just as leaving for Rome and too late for inclusion in the Ad Clerum. Alarmed that deanery priests may not be aware - please distribute.
manuscript notes showing places ticked: Hunstanton, Burnham Market, Swaffham, Downhan Market, Fakenham, Wells, Wisbech
Re roof - contact Cullen, a surveyor.
Re Ad Clerum 9/80 (c) (1) - wording is from Missionary Council
Sending donation cheques amounting to £291.35. Bill for 250,000 leaflets. Requesting a set of Ad Clerum envelopes to send and appeal to the brethren.
Clark, Alan Charles Rev DD (1919-2002)Bishop thanks him for the book; looks forward to reading it all; will plug it in the next Ad Clerum which is due out soon.
Smith, Peter David Gordon Rev LLB JCD (1943-2020)Enjoyed the Confirmation last week - candidates were well prepared. Observes that Fr Williams is settlign in well. P.s. Just received a copy of Sean Connolly's book, will put a note in Ad Clerum.
Smith, Peter David Gordon Rev LLB JCD (1943-2020)Sends the bishop a complimentary copy of his book (came out last Friday). Thanks the bishop for his support and the quote for the back cover. Will he give it a plug in the next Ad Clerum?
Connolly, Sean RevBishop's UEA talk was good - question time response not so.
Accept invitation to serve on the Ecumenical Commission. Church roof needs an architect to investigate some deterioration. Ad Clerum 9/80 (c) (1) - wording emphasises current position that many parish priests hold that the parish is "theirs", whereas Fr Langley thinks a co-responsibility with the parishioners is the ambition of Vatican II, etc.
Suprise to learn from the Ad Clerum that the decision [to close the Travelling Mission] had already been taken. Copy of letter to Bishop [Grant] enclosed. "Who is going to write the book on CONSULTATION?" The other item in his letter to Charles is another prize example.
