Reverendissime Pater:
Literis Tuis informationes a Nobis circa sacerdotem huic dioecesi adscriptum Patricium O'Donovan inquirentibus respondentes, post examen archivorum huius Curiae, praedictum ad operam paroecialem haud aptum inventum fuisse fateri debemus. Tamen in hoc impedimentum ad vitam conventualem vix videmus, eo vel magis quod sacerdos operam paroecialem longe a patria et inter fideles ipsi parum familiares navare debebat. Propterea Nobis videtur praedictum sacerdotem posse tuto ad postulatum Tui Monasterii ad experimentum admitti.
Cuncta fausta Tibi a Domino adprecati, peramanter ex corde Te Tuosque in Domino benedicimus.
