Rev. Brother Bogumil John
Gawarecki,
Missionary Brothers of St. Francis
La Barque Hills, Eureka, Missouri
Dear Brother:
Pursuant to my recent permission to you to establish a house
of charity in the Diocese, to be under the protection of your
Brothers -- the Franciscan Missionary Brothers of St. Francis
-- I beg herewith to renew this permission, and to congratulate
you upon your being able to acquire the property and found a
house out in the suburbs of St. Louis at Eureka. Here you propose
to take care of the aged poor and infirm men. It is a difficult
work that you have before you, but I am sure with your well-known
zeal that you will succeed.
I commend you to the charitable public.
Sincerely yours,
+John J. Glennon
Archbishop of St. Louis
