A view of St. Mary of the Angels, Church Street, Dublin, from a slightly elevated position. The print shows the building before the addition of the Sacred Heart Chapel which was built as an aisle church in 1908. The caption refers to the ordination of Fr. Theobald Mathew OSFC (1790-1856) in the previous chapel on Church Street in 1809. With cover. A copy of this image is extant at CA-PH-1-71.
A large group of both men and women (both sitting and standing) in St. Mary of the Angels, Church Street, Dublin. Most of the individuals are wearing Father Mathew Temperance Society badges and medals. They are almost certainly members of the lay temperance association attached to the church.
A view of Lower Main Street in Graiguenamangh, County Kilkenny, in about 1905. The image was probably taken (or acquired) by Fr. Angelus Healy OFM Cap. (1873-1953), a Capuchin friar who was a native of Graiguenamangh. A horse drawn carriage (called a ‘brake’) can be seen carrying passengers on the right of the road. These were extensively used in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as a means of public transport and conveyance. Going in the opposite direction is what appears to be some sort of parade of horses and jockeys (in apparently elaborate silks).

Although the association of the Capuchin friars with the Walkin Street (now Friary Street) area of Kilkenny dates to the late seventeenth century, the documents in this section relate primarily to the present-day Church of St. Francis, built by Fr. Peter Joseph Mulligan OSFC (1793-1853) in 1848. The section also contains documents relating to the subsequent extensions to the Friary, most notably in 1897 when a large three-storey building between Walkin Street and Pennyfeather Lane was constructed to provide, among other things, accommodation for novices. The relatively large number of documents relating to the Walkin Street properties has necessitated the creation of a further three sub-sub-series relating to a particular plot of ground, purchase or sale.
