Letter 11070: Gregory to Candidus, priest, rector of the patrimony in Gaul.
Gregory to Candidus, priest, rector of the patrimony in Gaul.
The priest Aurelius has come to my attention as a man of genuine character and ability who needs a suitable placement. I ask you to help him find an appropriate oratory or place where he can minister effectively.
A good priest without a suitable position is a resource being wasted. You are in a position to identify such a placement in Gaul; I ask you to use that position on his behalf.
Gregory
