Paul Mary Pakenham - The Passionist: mourning envelope discovered in a box marked relics sometime during 1993. The envelope is enscribed with Paul Mary's name with a note "sermon & hair". It contained a lock of Paul Mary's hair wrapped in tissue paper and a MS note which is an aide-memoire in Paul Mary's handwriting for the charity sermon in aid of St. Clare's Orphanage which he was due to preach in Gardiner St., church the morning on which he died, 01.03.1857. The sermon was actually given by Ignatius Spencer. The tissue paper in which the hair was wrapped is still in the envelope, while the hair and sermon notes are now on display in the Museum.
