A handwritten account of the early years of the convent founded at Dingle on 20 October 1829 by Sisters Mary Agnes Lonergan, Teresa Fitzharris and Francis Dunne from the convent in Tralee, under the authority of the Right Reverend Dr Cornelius Egan Bishop of Kerry. The annals record the establishment of the convent, the large numbers receiving the Sacraments, the famine in 1847 and how the Sisters tried to help those who were starving, mention of Daniel O’ Connell, the Liberator, and the beginnings of the industrial school in 1851.
