35 mm colour slides of photographs taken by Br. Joseph Murphy OFM Cap. (1929-2009). The majority are images of missionary work in Zambia. Br. Joseph ministered in Zambia from 1958-79. Many of the slides relate to the visitation of the mission undertaken by Fr. Berard Creed OFM Cap. (1923-2004), Provincial Minister, in 1968. The file includes: • Local leprosy patients • Fr. Berard inspecting construction work on mission buildings • Capuchin friars with Irish religious sisters working in Zambia • Fr. Berard Creed OFM Cap. and Fr. Anthony Boran OFM Cap. greeting Bishop Timothy Phelim O’Shea OFM Cap. • Mission churches and residences in Zambia • Friars performing baptisms and celebrating other religious ceremonies with the local populace • Victoria Falls. • Patients undergoing procedures in mission hospitals. • Fr. John Grace OFM Cap. • Sioma Falls • Bishop Timothy Phelim O’Shea OFM Cap. with Capuchin friars at Dublin Airport awaiting his return journey to Zambia. Several general views of the airport are also extant. The file also includes several non-mission photographs including images of a Pontifical Mass celebrated by Pope Paul VI in St. Peter’s in Rome in September 1970, St. Bonaventure's Hostel in Cork, and several images of family and other relations of Br. Joseph.
The exterior of St. Bonaventure's Capuchin Hostel, Victoria Cross, Cork. Construction work on the near-complete Cork County Hall on Carrigrohane Road is visible in the background. Completed in 1968 and designed by Cork county architect, Patrick McSweeney, the 16-storey building was some 64.3 metres high, and supplanted Dublin’s Liberty Hall as the country’s tallest building. It has since been superseded as the Republic’s tallest structure by the 17-storey (68 metre) high Elysian building also located in Cork.
