Scope and content
This section includes documents relating the refurbishment of Church and Friary of St. Mary of the Angels which took place from 1970-5. The church interior was extensively renovated during the guardianship of Fr. Fidelis O’Connell OFM Cap. to comply with the liturgical reforms of the Second Vatican Council (1962-5). Externally, the Gothic character of St. Mary of the Angels was largely preserved and most of the side altars between the main body of the Church and the Sacred Heart Chapel were retained as shrines.
