The notification by Dubuque Archbishop Jerome Hanus was partially in response to a situation where a young woman, who had planned to attend Loras College, suddenly moved to the group's convent in Chicago just before she was due to begin classes. She has specifically claimed in a letter that was provided to the Dubuque Telegraph Herald that she joined the group of her own free will. But members of her family as well as other people believe that may not be the case. Another letter penned by Fahey surfaced in March 2007. This letter was submitted to the Belvidere, Illinois city council seeking permission to relocate LHTBM headquarters to an old hospital in the city. The council unanimously rejected the request.
