Boyle: Manuscripts The Paul Boyle Papers document his years as a professor, his tenures as CMSM president, SSI president, RCT president and Canon Law Society president and member, his life as a Passionist, and his work as a bishop. The bulk of the collection, however, relates to Boyle's work as a canon lawyer. Approximately 63 boxes contain correspondence and subject files pertaining to discussions of changes in canon law and the effect of these changes on the governance and life of religious communities. CPBY 1-22 Conference of Major Superiors of Men 1959-1976 The Conference of Major Religious Superiors of Men (CMSM) is an organization founded in 1956 to promote the general welfare of the religious societies and congregations in the United States. Paul Boyle served as the president of CMSM from 1969 to 1974. The material in this series consists of Board of Directors files, executive board, regional and annual meeting materials including agendas, minutes and reports as well as permanent secretary files. As the CMSM president, Boyle was also involved with and served as the CMSM representative to various other organizations. These materials are represented in the subseries breakdown of NCCB/USCC materials; Committee material including CMSM committee work and committees of outside organizations with whom or on which Boyle served; and other organizations generally including CARA (Center for Applied Research in the Apostalate), CIF (Center for Intercultural Formation), the SCR (Sacred Congregation for Religious), and the USG (Union of Superiors General). The bulk of this series dates between 1969 and 1974, but in a few cases records go back as far as 1959 and up to 1976. The CMSM series is found in boxes 1-22. CPBY 23-33 Stewardship Services Inc. / Religious Communities Trust 1974-1981 Stewardship Services Inc.(SSI) is an organization established in 1974 by the CMSM initially as a conduit for financial aid to the LaSalette fathers of Attleboro, Massachusetts, upon the collapse of a fund in which they had invested large sums of money. SSI was set up as a non profit organization through which other religious orders could donate or loan funds to provide the LaSalettes with the backing they needed to pay off their bonds and other commitments. Paul Boyle served as the SSI president from 1974-1976. During this period, dedicated religious and lay men and women recognizing the need to improve the quality of church financial management and financial consulting office for religious communities and institutions. SSI opened its financial consulting office in Washington DC in January of 1976. The material in this series dates from 1974-1981. The records primarily relate to the LaSalette financial situation (boxes 23-29) with the remainder (boxes 30-33) holding mostly financial papers of the SSI organization itself. The Religious Communities Trust (RCT, or the "Trust") was formed on March 22, 1976 and began operations November 8, 1976. Paul Boyle founded RCT, after several years of planning, to help Catholic Religious organizations toward investing short term funds more safely and profitably. There were 13 religious communities participating as charter members with the expectation of many more joining. The sole purpose of the Trust is to permit member religious organizations of the Catholic Church in the U.S. to pool certain funds in an attempt to invest more productively and efficiently in money market securities. Investments in the Trust fund are restricted to a defined list of fixed income securities approved by the board of trustees. To achieve the income objective the trustees engage a qualified professional investment advisor to manage the Trust portfolio on a full time basis. The initial trustees were Fr. Paul Boyle, Sr. Carol Marie Keller, CSJ, and Br. Louis DeThomasis, FSC. CPBY 34-91 Canon Law 1964-1968 The series of Canon Law materials holds the majority of the records in this collection. This series breaks into four subseries including: educational material; canon law meetings; subject files; and religious life. The educational materials include lecture notes and student papers from Boyle's years as a professor of canon law from 1965-1968. Prior to this, from 1964-1965, Boyle served as the president of the Canon Law Society of America, and he continued to be active in various canon law meetings throughout the scope of these papers. The material in this subseries is primarily correspondence, reports, and information from various canon law society meetings. The subject files include an alphabetical run of topics affected by revisions in the canon laws. This material consists primarily of correspondence discussing how revision in the law affects various aspects of religious life. These files lead logically into a subseries of Religious life and governance which is broken down alphabetically by the names of religious communities, male and female. These files contain correspondence discussing constitutional changes needed to conform to revisions in the law and how these changes affect religious life and governance in the various communities. The Canon Law series is located in boxes 34-91. CPBY 98-101 Correspondence Correspondence has been filed by type of correspondent. The first files are labeled with either an individual's name or by their relation to Paul Boyle, such as friends, business associates, or other religious (sisters, priests etc.) There is also a run of general correspndence files arranged alphabetically by correspondent, which is followed by correspondence with Bishops. The general correspondence files contain letters from individuals who might fit into more specific categories, but were simply filed in the general run; therefore it would be wise to check several areas within this series if looking for a specific individual's correspondence. The correspondence series is contained in boxes 98-101. PPBY Paul M. Boyle: Printed Material
