Mission Superior Cataldo records, 1877-1893.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/539624849

This collection consists principally of the administrative correspondence and reports of Fr. Jospeh Cataldo, S.J., during his tenure (1877-1893) as Superior of the Jesuit Rocky Mountain Mission. As such, Fr. Cataldo had responsibility for assigning and supervising Mission personnel, developing new undertakings, and generally representing the Mission in its external affairs. With few exceptions, correspondence is with fellow or aspiring Jesuits, other Catholic clerics and nuns, or Mission benefactors. Correspondence with Mission "consultors" reflects a uniquely Jesuit process of collective advisement as part of the Superior's decisionmaking regarding new undertakings.
