Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap., the editor of ‘The Capuchin Annual’, and (right) Captain Seán Brennan, Éamon de Valera’s Aide de Camp, at the funeral of the Irish painter Sir John Lavery in Mount Jerome Cemetery in Dublin in January 1941. The print is credited to Charles C. Fennell.
A view of the scenery around Mizen Head in County Cork, Ireland’s most south-westerly point, in about 1950. The building perched on the top of the cliff is Mizen Head Fog Signal Station built by the Commissioners of Irish Lights in 1906.
Two views of the annual Easter commemoration at Arbour Hill Cemetery, Dublin, for the 1916 Rising leaders. The photographs probably show a commemoration ceremony held in the early 1950s.
A view of a group of pilgrims at Gougane Barra in County Cork in 1910. The photograph shows (second on the left) Fr. Huxley, the parish priest who was responsible for building the present-day oratory at Gougane Barra.
An image of a large group of Irish pilgrims at an audience with Pope Pius XII (1876-1958) at Castel Gandolfo just outside Rome on 20 September 1953. The pilgrims are members of the Third Order of St. Francis, a religious fraternity of lay men and women attached to the Franciscan Friary on Merchants’ Quay in Dublin. Several Franciscan friars (Order of Friars Minor) can be seen in the image. The individual (with the spectacles) immediately to the right of Pius XII is William MacNeely (1889-1963), the Bishop of Raphoe from 1923 until 1963.
