Correspondence, memoranda, and form mailings to the general membership, including correspondence of the LCWR executive director with members, officials of the church hierarchy in Rome and the U.S., and officers of other organizations. Correspondents include Elio Gambari, Bernard Ransing, and Apostolic Delegates Jean Jadot, Luigi Raimondi, and Egidio Vagnozzi. Topics discussed include the administration of LCWR, activities of religious orders, and LCWR committees and projects. The correspondence also includes files of letters written in response to the controversy surrounding the papal greeting offered by Sister Theresa Kane RSM (LCWR president) to Pope John Paul II during his visit to the U.S. in 1979. The form mailings include memoranda to members from LCWR officers, questionnaires, reports and LCWR publications, lists of officers, and membership directories. The mailings report on the activities of LCWR officers, agenda for annual meetings, and LCWR committees and studies.
Minutes, correspondence, reports, and agenda from meetings of the LCWR National Board and Executive Committee. Topics discussed include the work of LCWR committees, finances, personnel, national meetings, liaison work with other organizations, and LCWR studies and surveys. Starting in July of 1972 each National Board and Executive Committee meeting was assigned a number in a sequence that coincided with the fiscal year. The minutes and other documents from a meeting were then labelled and filed according to the number assigned that meeting. So N.B. 1 refers to the first National Board meeting of the fiscal year, while Exec. Comm. 1 refers to the first Executive Committee meeting.
