    Dear Dr. Laverdure:

    As you can see from the correspondence below, I sent an inquiry to Father Catala in Rome about the biography of Blessed Kaspar Stanggassinger and also to Father Grile, Monte Kniffen, Father Hoegerl, and Father Mason on August 23, 2007. (I had previously sent an e-mail to Father Catala on August 7 and received no response.)
    [...] We can’t proceed with publication until we have answers regarding the number of copies that Rome and the Redemptorist North American Historical Institute want. We can’t determine our costs or communicate with the printer until we know how many copies are committed.

    I don’t know of any other way to contact Father Catala or to get this information from the Spirituality Institute. I have sent two different communications to two e-mail addresses with no response.

    Thus, we can’t proceed without communication from Rome and from the North American Historical Institute as to how many copies they/you will commit to purchase.

    Hopefully you can assist me in this endeavor.

    Sincerely,

    Pat DeClue

    Hello:

    Father Catala:

    Liguori Publications is gathering the information needed to publish the biography of Blessed Kaspar Stanggassinger, the newest volume in the Readings on Redemptorist Spirituality series. Will you be so kind as to let me know how many copies of this book the Redemptorist Spirituality Institute will commit to purchasing. I need this information as soon as possible. (I sent a request on August 7, 2007.)

    Father Grile:

    We are still waiting to hear from Father Catala. Will you please let me know how many copies of this biography the Redemptorist North American Historical Institute wants. Please respond with this information by September 13, 2007.

    Depending on what the Redemptorist Spirituality Institute wants, we will plan on a print run of 750 copies.
    .
    Thank you so much for you help with this matter.

    Sincerely yours,

    Pat DeClue

    i am interested in the icon called “Our Lady of Grace” in the Redemptorist Archives in Rome. It is of the “Eleousa” type. Do you have any information on this?
    Thank you and God bless.
    My parish does the Mother of Perpetual Help Devotions every month.
