Title: Superior General Rev. Edward Leary, 1978-1982

ID: SSE 2/

Extent: 0.75 Linear Feet

Arrangement: Arranged alphabetically by correspondent/office

The bulk of this subgroup is correspondence, which is arranged alphabetically by correspondent/office.  The series also includes correspondence from the South, which is further subdivided by correspondent/office.  Correspondence included in the South sub-series is that which accumulated in the Superior General’s Office.  Most originated in the South, although copies of outgoing mail are sometimes included.  Correspondence with other local administrations is located with the Local Administration record group.

Fr. Edward Leary was born in 1924 and was educated primarily in the Society’s education institutions.  He served in a number of different apostolates, mostly in educational roles.  He served two terms as Superior General of the Society.  Leary was elected at the General Chapter in 1978.  Leary’s first term of office saw the continued aging of the society without enough new members to replace the aging members.  While most of the apostolates continued despite the diminishing numbers of members, the society was forced to relinquish a few parishes and works.  Additionally, the new foundation in France disintegrated for a number of reasons.
