Biographical/Historical note
The Diocese of Newark was created in 1853 and was elevated to an Archdiocese in 1937. The Chancery Office required parish priests to submit yearly reports reflecting the financial and spiritual condition of their churches. In the early years of the Diocese, many pastors composed highly personalized reports, frequently presenting them as narratives. By the end of the nineteenth century, the Chancery Office distributed standardized forms to all pastors.
