| Description | Pamphlets, publicity material and correspondence relating to the Parochial Apostolic Union. After moving to Cheltenham in 1931, Charles Francis Ullathorne Meek founded the St. Vincent de Paul Apostolic Union, which in October 1936 developed into a wider movement called the Parochial Apostolic Union. This was a simple union of prayer for any practising Catholic who would undertake to work and pray for the conversion of some known individual person. Although Charles Meek successfully established this movement in many parishes in England and abroad, his Apostolic Union did not survive him. In his last years Charles Meek was living at St Edmunds, Andover Road, Cheltenham, and he died, a widower, at the General Hospital on 14th January 1961. The history of his movement is preserved in the archives of Douai Abbey. |
