although there were a lot who offered meArmenians have 80 houses with 450 souls. They have awalled church and a priest from their nation, Armenian.Bacau: there are 400 catholics and 120 children, allHungarians. They have a native priest, with a school, he islonely, but would not be willing to leave for studying the HolyScripture.The description of this church from Bacau will be longer.This church was big and beautiful, from walls and gallery, butthe roof above the gallery caved in and the inhabitants covered itwith straw just above the altar where the priest celebrates themass. The rest of it is uncovered and decayed. The church is 25feet long and 10 feet wide, in the honor of the Lord's Mother. Ithas a torn cover and a silver cup, which was donated by theabove mentioned priest.There exists a village, belonging to the church, which hasbeen taken by the ruler and given into the care of his monksThis village, of the bishop's, is called Trebes, and there arearound 20 catholic houses.We'll not avoid telling what the catholics from Bacau toldus, that this church of theirs was not a bishopric from thebeginning, and it was a monastery of the Franciscan monks,built by Lady Margaret, who was a catholic and brought monksinto her monastery from Hungary. There still live old peoplewho remember the time when there were over 10 monks in thatmonastery, saying: "Even the ruler, when he talked to me, henever said 'bishopric church', but 'monastery'," and that's howis written in their documents. And when he was complainingabout the bishops from Poland, he said: "It's not right that thebishops are taking things to Poland" Slowly, the church wasruined and got poor, and there is nothing more recognizable butthe walls and the cellar The wall of the cemetery near thechurch is also totally decayed.There are some villages around Bacau that are in the care ofthe same priest and all are very close.The first is called Faraoani, there are 250 catholics and 50children, they are Hungarians and they have a wooden church,but nothing for the masses.The second village is Trebis, in which live over 100 soulsfor communion and 25 children, Hungarians, have neitherchurch nor the necessities for the mass.The third village, at the foot of the mountains is called
Solont and it has 70 souls for communion and 20 children,Hungarians, they have no church, nor the necessities for themass.The fourth village, called Lucacesti, there are 53 catholicsand 10 children, they are Hungarians and they have a woodenchurch, having nothing for the masses.The fifth village is called Valea Seaca, there are 42catholics and 8 children, they are Hungarians and they have nochurch, nor the necessities for the masses.That priest from Bacau, Don Baltazar told me,that there aremany catholics in the Rumanian villages, in some there are twohouses, in other just one, three or four, but he didn't tell meexactly their number, that's why I can't write them over here.In Bacau there are 130 Rumanian houses, 700 souls, more orless. They have a monastery in the order of the Lord's MotherAsleep and two wooden churches, I didn`t find out their names.27th of October, 1641I visited Targul Trotus, there are 94 catholics , 28children. The Hungarians have a walled church, big andbeautiful, 33 feet long and 10 feet wide, it was built in 1557.Around the church there is a cemetery, behind a fence. Thesacristium: in it there are the necessities for the liturgy, a silvercup and cross.In this town are 30 Rumanian houses with 160 souls.The first village close to Trotus is Stanesti, where are 87catholics and 19 children, Hungarians. They have a woodenchurch.. there are three more villages Borzesti, Manesti andBahna. In those three villages are very few catholics, 90 arecatholics and 20 children in all, they are Hungarians. All threevillages have a walled church.Many priests who denied their belief come to these parts ofMoldavia, creating big scandals, because they taste freedom andthey have no superior. The bishop went there just once in hislife, and I don't know whether he stayed two months in hisdiocese, then he left.
