Street collection ledger book containing records of names, addresses and amounts subscribed probably in connection with a prize draw in aid of the Church Street Capuchins. The collections are arranged by street name or particular areas in Dublin. Reference is also made to the friars involved in the collections. The entry pages extant in the volume are pp 9-97; 201-208; 299-458. Inserts include statements regarding the use of income derived from street collections to pay off loans and debts from 1913-5. With gilt title ‘ledger’ to spine.
Correspondence and receipts regarding ground rent due to John Jameson & Sons (later known as the Irish Distillers Group Ltd.) in respect of 21 Bow Street (comprising a portion of the Chapel ground and a passage into the Chapel yard). The correspondence with Fr. Angelus O’Neill OFM Cap., guardian, relates to a demand for three years’ rent (totalling £225) which had not been collected due to an administrative oversight.
The section includes documents relating to the construction and financing of the new Capuchin Friary building situated adjacent to St. Mary of the Angels on Church Street. Work on the new Friary commenced in November 1999 and was completed in October 2000.
Receipt and expenditure book of the Capuchin community of St. Mary of the Angels, Church Street. Most of the income entries relate to monies received from mass and vespers’ collections and chaplaincy duties. Occasional reference is also made to the building fund for St. Mary of the Angels. The expenditure accounts include entries for wages, groceries, and household goods, stationary, travel expenses, insurance payments and other sundries. A loose account by Fr. Salvator Maria Corrigan OFM Cap. (1834-1919), dated 3 Mar. 1881, is inserted into the volume. This account is extant on a printed flyer seeking contributions towards the completion of building work on St. Mary of the Angels. The flyer is illustrated. An annotation (probably by Fr. Joseph Harkins OFM Cap.) on the first page of the volume reads: ‘Book of current expenditure as per week of the Rev. Capuchin Community of Dublin’.
