Bishop of Northampton permits the Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament on first Friday of every month and on the Feast of the Circumcision. Lists feast days for Mass and benediction so long as they do not occur on the Lord's day.
Signed by the Bishop on 20 January [no year]
Manuscript annotation: "These sisters were ordered to disband by Rome in October 1927. They left Dec. 31st 1927 - were replaced by the Sisters of Mercy."
Fine to take leave; all faculties for Fr Chadwick granted. Glad to hear Mrs Kenyon is out of danger, she will live many years more.
Cary-Elwes, Dudley Charles Rev (1868-1932)Thanks for helping Fr Malone at Huntingdon. Will provide faculties for any Father you send.
Cary-Elwes, Dudley Charles Rev (1868-1932)Faculties for Fr Sproule granted, including for the nuns if required. Send names of the two ladies and the Bishop will contact Rome. Invitation to stay tempting, but too full up for now. Sorry no intentions - see if he can invent some. St Neots opening was nice but cruel hard luck for the enforced absence of Fr Malone.
Cary-Elwes, Dudley Charles Rev (1868-1932)I send you:
faculties for erection of Stations of the Cross at the convent
faculties pagella
ditto for Sister's confessions
ditto for duplication in K. Lynn and district
[wryly] "I think that is all you require for thepresent."
You should not make arrangements without first obtaining permission and being sure of conflicts. You may go - arrangements for celebret and faculties for supply.
The Sisters wish to paper the room for the chapel and have been allowed to do so. Honorarium is normally £26 /annum for mass once a week. The bath will have to come out.
Holmes affair has worked out well - however, the approach you had proposed would not have done so. Do not be too kind to them at first - they had been very naughty!
Note that Fr Filmer is trying to reschedule some of his pilgrimages to Sundays.
Grants faculties to: Fr Pearce - for convents in Aldeburgh & Woodbridge; Fr Fabian Dix for Aldeburgh, Leiston and the Convents
Does not know how he will get to Aldeburgh with getting to and from Cromer and Woodbridge - a case for an aeroplane!
Regarding the Coats of Arms [on reredos design] does not know what the Cardinal has to do with it - but put in his arms if you wish!
Thanks for looking after church for Jim Mullett
Bishop sends on renewed faculties. Will visit on 15th June. Hopes Fr Dinley & Fr Riley keeping well "in this curious weather".
