Scope and content
This financial ledger details the income and expenditure accounts for the Capuchin Friary in Rochestown, County Cork. The volume tracks the community’s regular operational revenue and day-to-day running costs. The income sections record revenue generated through traditional spiritual and community channels (including masses, public collections, questing, and sodality subscriptions) alongside financial support received via donations from other houses within the Irish Capuchin Province. In addition, the ledger categorizes distinct revenue streams derived directly from alms and the operations of the adjacent College. It also accounts for commercial agricultural income generated through the sale of produce from the monastery farm.
