Petitions for faculties

Petition on behalf of René Alméras to PF, asking for missionary status for Jacques de la Fosse, Robert Menan, Claude de la Salle, Maximilien François Cuveron [or Cuvron] (all priests of CM), and Michel Manie (lay brother). Alméras asks for prefect faculties for Jacques de la Fosse (until PF has appointed another prefect), however, he does not wish for the faculties of Nicolas Etienne to be revoked (which had been given two years before), in order for Etienne to become prefect in case of the death or absence of Jacques de la Fosse.

Date discussed 1662-01-30
