“These two brothers, Paul and John Baptist Danei, least servants of Your Eminence, were chosen by Divine Providence, who governs all things, to build a church and small monastery as a retreat on this mountain. Now Both are complete. They prostrate themselves at your feet and with all earnestness beg and pray by the merits of our Saviour Jesus and by the sorrows of Mary Most Holy and by the blood shed by all the Martyrs for the holy and the Catholic religion that, once more, you Eminence confirm the permission given to bless the church and provide for the Reservation of the Most Holy Sacrament and grant us permission to enter the retreat, built with so much labour, that they might be able to celebrate the holy mysteries, to sing the praises of God day and night, to give themselves to prayer, to work at their studies, and to enable themselves to better serve their poor neighbours, especially in these depressed and abundant salt marshes."
