Letter 4037: A monastery in your diocese is to be dedicated in honor of the blessed apostle Peter and the holy archangel Michael.

To Bishop Fortunatus. Let him dedicate a monastery in honor of Saint Peter and Saint Michael, in which the priests serving there may celebrate Masses; let whatever the faithful happen to offer, however, go to the benefit of the monks. Gregory to Fortunatus, bishop of Naples. Theodosius, abbot of the monastery of Saint Martin, has set before us by a petitionary representation, which is contained in the appended documents, that in the house of the late Martin, by his will, his predecessor, the abbot Andrew, constructed a monastery in which monks are to dwell. And because he requests that it be dedicated in honor of blessed Peter, chief of the Apostles, and of the holy archangel Michael, [...] we must therefore exhort you, that you go without reluctance to the aforesaid place when he requests it, bestowing the venerable rites of dedication. And as often as it shall be necessary, let the venerable sacrifices of the Masses be celebrated by the priests of your Church serving in the holy place, in such a way that in that same monastery neither your Fraternity nor the priests bring any annoyances, beyond the diligence of discipline; nor, if anything of profit should come there through the devotion of various persons, let them think it claimed for themselves, since whatever the faithful happen to offer ought to benefit the monks serving in that same place.
