Resumo

Em meados de 1888, o padre Matthew Gaughren (1843-1914) foi enviado à Argentina por seu superior, o O.M.I. provincial da Grã-Bretanha, a uma “expedição de mendicância”, que visava arrecadar dinheiro entre os colonos irlandeses para diminuir a dívida da igreja de Nossa Senhora da Graça em Tower Hill. No entanto, Gaughren mudou as prioridades de sua missão na América do Sul e apelou à comunidade de língua inglesa para apoiar os imigrantes irlandeses vindos de Cork, em fevereiro de 1889, no navio a vapor Dresden, e enviados a uma malfadada colônia irlandesa em Napostá, próxima ao porto de Bahía Blanca. Seu pensamento e sua luta são revelados nas cartas a seguir, coletadas de diversos arquivos, que agora estão sendo publicadas, a maioria delas pela primeira vez, em sua forma completa.
