All are typescript and reproduced in bulk for general distribution - there are no original versions. Most are double sided; some are printed on the reverse of material provided by the Redemptorist Press.
Note: not all newsletters are present - weeding has been applied by the Archivists.
"Mr Dear Joe, I am very glad to hear that you are able to go to Blakeney, but sorry to hear that you have got to the stage when you have to retire - what is the matter? However, I have great pleasure in giving the faculties you ask for confessions and preaching, subject to the restrictions in the Code. I hope to see you some time at Blakeney, but I am just off to Rome until mid-December. I hope that you will have better health; Blakeney is a delightful place, but has very few Catholics. I presume you will have a housekeeper as it would be very lonely without one. "

- on-going situation in Hunstanton Parish - needs to be explored to make progress
- Dersingham people feel hurt, rejected and isolated
- Lack of communication is a problem
- Weekday Mass may help heal/restore Dersingham people.
Discussion on the above points.
