Bicentenary

14 December 1869


To Magdalena Calafell: Graus Aytona,

J. M. J.

My beloved daughters: I received your last letter informing me of the death of Margarida. I have asked all the brothers and sisters to pray for her soul.

Now I am going to give a due form to our undertaking and for this, I will send another sister to arrange for you the flow of the order that is followed in other foundations. Sr. Juana and another sister are in Estadilla. I sent four sisters to Vendrell. The school in Aytona is about to be completed and from here four postulants will go with me to Barcelona because the Order is now legalized and I need many sisters there.

I am leaving on the 20th of this month. I arrived on the 11th and am preaching in Serós. You may send your reply to Barcelona. I could not come just now but I will as soon as my commitments would allow me. Then we could arrange things in order.

Nothing more for now. I greet all the sisters and command this affectionate father,


Fr. Francisco
