1 p.; clipping

A clipping of an article from September 1904 documenting the departure of Father Jarlath Hynes OFM Cap. from Kilkenny to take up duties at the Capuchin Monastery and College in Rochestown, County Cork. The article includes a valedictory address and a complete list of lay signatories from the Friary Choir, Kilkenny, acknowledging his kindness and recording his departure date of Friday, 16 September 1904. The article published under a ‘Catholic Intelligence’ column, also provides a retrospective of Father Jarlath’s tenure since 1893, specifically highlighting his role in constructing the new Convent in Walkin Street, expanding the church, and establishing the shrines of St. Antony. It further details a farewell ceremony where the parish organist, Miss A.M. Ryan, presented Father Jarlath with an inscribed watch and a white satin bannerette address trimmed with gold lace, in the presence of his successor, Father Mark McDonnell OFM Cap.
