Report by the Regular Superior on the verbal process at the canonical visitation of the parish of the Immaculate Conception, Parow, South Africa. Reference is made to the establishment of a separate fund for the erecting of a Friary in Parow.

A pastoral report on Parow Parish, Cape Province, South Africa, compiled by Fr. Didacus McGrath OFM Cap. (1929-2018). The report refers to the three areas within the parish: Tiervlei (Tyger Valley), Parow and Elsies River. The report notes that ‘in the parish, taken as a whole, the proportion of Coloured to White is 2 to 1. It can scarcely be classed a “White” Parish. We use the term “White” and “Coloured” with no intention of approving a situation. The Churches in Parow and Tiervlei are almost certainly the only Churches with mixed attendance in the area’.

Hand-drawn map of Irish Capuchin missions in the suburbs around Cape Town, South Africa. The map shows the locations of Claremont, Parow, and Athlone in addition to other major settlements around the Cape Flats and on the Cape Peninsula. The map has been extensively annotated. It reads: ‘The purely white parishes would be Sea Point, Rondebosch, Mowbray, Woodstock (mostly so). The other places have a quota of whites, mostly coloured though. My ambition is to get ourselves quartered in the part marked in heavy read. … All the coloured are moving towards the Flats especially along the main road towards Bellville’.
