This section includes registers and appointment books recording the names of Capuchin priests celebrating masses at Holy Trinity Church in Cork. Historical mass books (pre-dating circa 1970) have evidently been lost. However, Fr. Angelus Healy OFM Cap. (1875-1953) took extracts from some of the original (and now lost) mass registers for the purposes of his historical research. Some of this research has survived (see CA HT/7/7 and CA HT/7/8).
Register of mass stipends received at the Church of St. Francis, Kilkenny. The volume includes entries relating to monies received from masses said, masses reserved and for those sent to the Provincial Minister. The final two pages of the volume contain notes re the ‘Kerwick Mass Bequest’ and to arrangements for saying masses for which stipends have been received.
