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’.

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’.

This series includes a collection of rare books which were formerly held in the Library of Holy Trinity Friary, Father Mathew Quay, Cork. They were transferred to the Irish Capuchin Archives in Dublin in 2012. The collection is divided into six sub-series. In all of the sub-series the volumes have been arranged chronologically by date of publication. The series includes works published in Latin, French and English. Most of the volumes are in an extremely poor condition due to exposure for many years to inappropriate environmental storage conditions in the attic and in other locations in Holy Trinity Friary.
