This is a file in the correspondence of Thomas Merton under the heading: "De Roo, Remi Joseph, Bishop".
Remi J. De Roo was Bishop of Victoria, British Columbia in Canada. He gave permission for Dom Jacques Winandy, O.S.B. to establish a "community" of hermits, the Hermits of St. John the Baptist, in his diocese in 1964. The hermits lived and prayed independently, but were in proximity to each other and under the guidance of an elder or superior.
