Edward Abraham Sutton was born in Monkstown in County Cork on 5 November 1876. His early education was with the Christian Brothers. He joined the Capuchin Franciscans in June 1898 and took Chrysostom as his religious name. He was solemnly professed as a friar in August 1902. He was ordained to the priesthood on 28 September 1902. He served as master of novices in Kilkenny from 1910 until his death on 11 November 1918. It was noted that ‘his death … came about from a severe attack of influenza contracted whilst ministering to those afflicted with the disease in Kilkenny city’. A local newspaper, ‘The Kilkenny People’ (16 November 1918), referred to the death from influenza of Fr. Chrysostom and noted the remarks of the city’s mayor in saying that the priest ‘was a most charitable man, and he would say he lost his life in trying to relieve the sufferings of the poor of Walkin Street and the neighbourhood during the epidemic’. Fr. Chrysostom was buried in the Capuchin plot in Foulkstown Cemetery in Kilkenny.

Emilio Paolucci was born in Italy on 22 December 1898. His family moved to the United States in 1916. His initial contact with the Capuchins was in Watts Parish in Los Angeles. He was among the first men to join the Irish Capuchin custody in California, entering the novitiate in Ireland in October 1927. He took Alexius as his religious name and made his solemn profession in Ard Mhuire Friary in County Donegal in September 1932. Br. Alexius was the first Capuchin brother to volunteer for missionary work in Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia). He spent ten years in Africa (1936-46) making a major contribution to the mission at a critical stage of its development. The result of his skilled work as a carpenter and builder can be seen in the churches and furnishings which he constructed in Livingstone, Sichili, Sancta Maria (Lukulu), Kalabo, Maramba, and in Cape Town, South Africa. He returned to Ireland in late 1946 and spent four years residing in St. Bonaventure’s Friary and with the community in Rochestown in County Cork. He returned to the United States in December 1950. His first assignment was in Santa Inés near Solvang in California where he worked for twelve years restoring and renovating the historic buildings of the old mission. In 1963 he was appointed to the newly established West Coast novitiate at San Lorenzo in Santa Inés Valley. He resided at the novitiate until 1970 before moving to Watts in Los Angeles and later to St. Francis High School in La Cañada Flintridge in California. He subsequently returned to San Lorenzo Seminary and died there on 27 August 1983. He was buried in the adjoining cemetery.
