Homily for Fr. Albeus McQuillan OFM Cap. (1912-1989). He died in Cape Town, South Africa, on 10 August 1989. The homily was preached in the Welcome Estate Church by Fr. Wilfred Aherne OFM Cap. It was noted that Fr. Albeus ‘spent almost thirty years a missionary in Zambia and the past eighteen years ministering in the Capuchin parishes of the Cape Town Archdiocese. His brother Fr. Jerome McQuillan OFM Cap. died in 1968, also in Cape Town’.
Homily preached at the funeral of Fr. Hugh Murphy OFM Cap. (1919-1990). He died on 9 March 1990 and was buried in Livingstone Cemetery. The homily reads: ‘It must be remarked that Fr. Hugh was 70 years of age. He was ordained a priest at the age of 28. That means that he spent 28 years of his life in his native Ireland and 42 years in the country of his adoption – Zambia. … And because Fr. Hugh was one of you, you have mourned his passing as one of your own. What greater proof of this than the hundreds of Catholics, and others keeping three long night vigils of prayer and hymns outside Maramba Catholic Church’.

No scale given Hand-drawn map of Irish Capuchin missions in the suburbs around Cape Town, South Africa. The map shows the locations of Claremont, Parow, and Athlone in addition to other major settlements around the Cape Flats and on the Cape Peninsula. The map has been extensively annotated. It reads: ‘The purely white parishes would be Sea Point, Rondebosch, Mowbray, Woodstock (mostly so). The other places have a quota of whites, mostly coloured though. My ambition is to get ourselves quartered in the part marked in heavy read. … All the coloured are moving towards the Flats especially along the main road towards Bellville’.
