The Capuchins in Cape Town

Report on the Irish Capuchin mission in South Africa. It is noted that ‘much of the Fathers’ time is taken up with convert work, pre-nuptial courses and teaching Christian Doctrine to children attending the public schools’. Statistical information (population, racial composition, and number of priests) is given in respect of the friars’ work in Parow, Athlone, the Welcome Estate, Belgravia and Langa. It is affirmed that the ‘bulk of the non-white people, i.e. the poorest of this diocese, is attended by the Capuchin Fathers’.
