Bishop was unaware of the document sent by Fr Webb. He makes 5 points: 1. Use of Jesuit Ordo in convent - does not know whether he has the power to permit its use; 2. Averse to transferal of faculties by one priest to another; 3. Not necessary in this Diocese to have Ordinary's permission to offer Mass in a Convent - matter under supervision of the Parish Priest; 4. Add extra Benediction to the pagella if required; 5. Nuns should keep their regular Extraordinary and not have deputies unless there is a real need. Willing to accommodate himself to the clergy if these rather negative answers do not satisfy.

Bishop's secretary writes on behalf of the Bishop: Fr Stratton is Extraordinary Confessor for Bletchley's Thornton College nuns; the Mother Superior has asked for a different priest as Fr Stratton has been unable to attend. Is he willing to relinquish this office? Fr Kennedy is helping out at Yarmouth and following a request from the nuns at Beccles for him to give conferences and hear their confessions, the Bishop is confused over what faculties to give, if any. The Bishop believed Fr Kennedy SJ to be an Army Chaplain but asks whether he is correct in his understanding and asks for more information. Also, confirms date of Bishop's visit to Yarmouth for Confirmation - 30 May at 3.30pm.

Saved up a few matters in one letter for simplicity.
Sanato-in-radice returned, signed; woman concerned made wonderful spiritual recovery.

  1. Faculty required to permit triplicating to meet holiday demand in July and August with visiting priests. Would Bishop give faculties should the need arise? Permit annual use "usque ad revocationem"?
  2. Fr Jerome Lambert OSB from Ampleforth is to stay with a relative. Faculty requested for confessions during his short stay?
  3. Visitation in July; arranging for Sunday Mass in Hemsby. Would Bishop like to be assisted by another priest?
  4. Blessed Sacrament has been reserved, he is informed, for "always" in Hemsby for July & August wit Benediction after Sunday Mass. Fr Dennis cannot see the need, unless the Bishop requires it.
    Manuscript annotation by paragraph: "(1) Yes. Yes; (2) Yes if...; (3) Yes. Indifferent; (4) Bishop objects to Reservation & glad to stop it. Benediction could be given if someone wishing HC would 'receive' the large host after Benediction. He doubts of Ben. is necessary."

Now in "the saddle" and glad to be there. Issues to raise:

  1. Fr Webb dated 4-11-1958 from the Bishop grants faculties to "the priest who supplies and arrives provided he is one of yours and has faculties elsewhere". Fr Wilfred Jolley SJ and Fr James Evans SJ are here and the Provincial wishes them to be retained as assistants.
  2. Two absences - cancelled one, but not the other - this is leading a Pilgrimage as Spiritual Director to Lourdes from Mar 26 to Apr 4.
  3. Requests renewing permission to duplicate for all three priests.
  4. Requests delegate visiting SJ priests for hearing confessions
  5. Two permissions for (a) Public Processions in honour of Our Lady on Sundays (not frequent), (b) Exposition on Sunday after Feast of Sacred Heart.
  6. Permission granted for public procession of Blessed Sacrament on 2nd Sunday of Pentecost - not keen to renew but if Bishops wants it...
    Manuscript annotations at paragraphs: (1) "yes herewith"; (2) "Yes"; (3) "Yes no form and applies to those serving Yarmouth even supplies"; (4) "Yes if facs. elsewhere"; (5) Yes. add to Ben. Pagella in space below"; (6) Bp. not keen & it may be discontinued".

37 High Street must be modernised. £939 cost; grant from District Council of £400; grant on own house of £400; plus whatever from pools. Has the tablets for the privileged altars at Wells, Walsingham, Burnham Market and the Slipper Chapel. Can the Bishop grant a faculty for one or all of these?
manuscript ps: "The wording for the altars is ALTARE PRIVILEGIATUM"

Encloses a letter from Mr Jewson MP - written in response to the Parents Association, not very satisfactory, but no more than expected since Catholics are few in number. Petrol ration at 2 gallons a month is half of requested amount. Fr Wilfred Jolley, a T.B. case, is here and can do a little visiting and help in the church. He has faculties for Richmond, Yorks, would the Bishop grant faculties? School requires additional accommodation for a hall and two rooms for domestic science and manual work - 200 sq feet in total. 170 on roll but only 50 are Catholics.

Addressed to Fr Atkinson [Bishop's secretary?]. Encloses an enquiry from Italy which refers to Caistor near Grimsby not the one in this parish [Caister]. Mass is not being said at 9 o'clock on Sundays in Hemsby - this was only done by Army Chaplains when the camp was there - it is said at Dr Kelly's. When this is not possible he requests permission to say Mass at Major Barber's. Enquiries are being made to acquire ground at Hemsby or Ormsby to set up a chapel-of-ease.
Manuscript annotation: "Now & again per modum actus [this faculty?] for the sake of the Sacraments the Bp will permit Mass to be said t .... So long as the room is decent & not a bedroom."

Thanks Bishop for his letter and Christmas card. Encloses a document. Badly let down over heating - pipes laid but no boiler or radiators - using oil lamps instead. Permissions extend to successors of Fr Patrick Dinley? Will have them framed and hung in the sacristy. Weekly special Benediction permissions framed.

Fr Webb has identified a communication from Rome dated 15 February 1947 regarding a new faculty for SJ priests to use their Society Ordo in churches where rectors are Society members. Quotes the Latin text. Encloses a Scheme of Instructions drawn up for the next two years for Sunday Masses - hopes the Bishop will approve it. Will send a photo of St Thomas More Chapel in Hemsby.
