Copy appeal in support of French Capuchin Exiles in Cork

Transcript by Fr. Angelus Healy OFM Cap. of an appeal seeking support for a number of Capuchin friars ‘expelled under circumstances of peculiar hardship from the Nantes Convent’, as a result of the ‘policy of persecution adopted by the present French ministry’. The appeal may have been made in circa 1880. The appeal refers to the need to expand Holy Trinity Friary, and to ‘the heavy charge of forty religious actually dependent on a house, already full and heavily weighted with a large ground rent for Church and Convent and with building work on hand’. Subscriptions are to be directed to Fr. Simeon Gaudillot OSFC, Commissary General, Mr. Thomas Lyons, JP, Passage West, and others. The original printed appeal is extant in a volume at CA HT/7/20.

History of the Capuchin Novitiate in Kilkenny, 1875-1877

A history of the Capuchin novitiate in Kilkenny, 1875-77 by Fr. Angelus Healy OFM Cap. Referring to the decision to found a novitiate, Fr. Angelus wrote ‘In the month of May 1875 a visitation of the Irish Custody was made by Very Rev. Arsenius, the Provincial of Paris Province. At the conclusion of the visitation he called the Custos [Fr. Patrick O’Reilly OSFC] and his two assistants [Fr. Edward Tommins OSFC and Fr. Aloysius Hennessy OSFC]. They met in our Convent at Dublin on May 25th. At this meeting it was decided to apply to our Superiors General in Rome, for permission to establish a Novitiate for the Irish Custody’. The novitiate was transferred from Kilkenny to Rochestown on 14 Feb. 1877. Fr. Angelus concludes by noting that the ‘account of the Novitiate in Rochestown from 1877 to 1886, when it returned to Kilkenny may be given in another paper’.
