Diary. Covering the years 1915-1939. The diary offers a view of Father Bishop’s day-to-day life. However, there are large gaps in the diary with eleven years having no entries at all (1920, 1921, 1923, 1924, 1926, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930, 1931, 1932).

Sermons. Most of the sermons from Father Bishop’s two years at the Shrine of the Sacred Heart are preserved, while only two are preserved from his twenty years as pastor of St. Louis Church.
