Notes on Education by Patrick Pearse
Part of Irish Capuchin Archives
Some notes about education in the hand of Patrick Pearse. The notes are undated but were possibly prepared a talk on the subject. The notes conclude with Pearse's transcription of a widely-known poem on public schooling which reads:
‘Ram it in, cram it in
Children’s heads are hollow.
Jam it in, slam it in,
Still there’s more to follow.
Pack it in, smack it in,
What are children made for?
Push it in, crush it in,
What are teachers paid for?’

Notes on the History of Ards House
Part of Irish Capuchin Archives
Notes compiled by Fr. Angelus Healy OFM Cap. and Fr. Stanislaus Kavanagh OFM Cap. on the history of Ards House and its acquisition by the Capuchin friars in 1930. Extensive reference is made to the previous occupiers of the estate:
'The Sampsons, the Wrays, the Stewarts, one of whom was married to Lady Isabella Toler, granddaughter of the notorious Lord Norbury are gone, and the Capuchin Fathers are in their ancient home. In the graveyard at Clondahorky, can be seen the grave of the second wife of the first Wray of Ards, and in the grounds of Ards, some trees recall the birthdays of members of the Stewart family. To the Capuchins however, a stronger appeal is made by a lonely tomb in the graveyard around Doe Castle, the last resting place of a Franciscan Friar, Rev. Father Dominick Curden “who departed this life August ye 17th. 1809, aged 85 yrs”'.
The file includes a newspaper cutting of a poem titled ‘On the return of the Brown-Robed Friars to Donegal’ by Bernard A. Furey.

Notes re Parish Missions and Retreats
Part of Irish Capuchin Archives
Notes re various parish missions and retreats given to lay sodalities and local parishioners. The notes were compiled by Fr. Fidelis Neary OSFC (1855-1932). The notes refer to missions given by Fr. Fidelis and other friars in Counties Cork, Kilkenny, Waterford, Longford, Galway, Dublin and elsewhere. Some of the more detailed descriptions refer to the effects of Parnellite split and political disputes upon the populace and mission attendees, and to hostilities with local Protestant landed proprietors. The notes include:
• Mullinavat, County Kilkenny. Apr. 1892: ‘A most memorable week. Commenced by a “Boycott” by the Parnellists …’.
• Glenmore, County Kilkenny. June 1893: ‘The Parish of Glenmore, like Mullinavat, was badly infested by Parnellism, a “Boycott” was worked up by the “Hog boys” of Ballybricken, Waterford, with Hogs’ Band etc. On hearing of the happy results in Mullinavat, the project was abandoned, and a public meeting held after Mass the previous Sunday withdrawing all opposition to the retreat and resolving to attend it. … Thus end[ed] the Parnell division in South Kilkenny’.
• Castlecomer, County Kilkenny. June 1894: ‘One of the most remarkable incidents of the week was the arrival of Father Prendergast, the famous Parnellite priest, from Urlingford …’.
• Church Street, Dublin, July 1894: ‘A retreat for the members of the Sacred Heart Sodality commenced in the above Church on Sunday night, July 22nd and concluded [on] Sunday night, 29th. The above retreat was not a success, but rather a poor business. Couldn’t be otherwise owing to majority of members and almost all leading members [had] rabid Parnellite tendencies. They didn’t attend and didn’t allow others attend. Fr. Francis Hayes OSFC had charge of the Sodality at the time’.
• Douglas, County Cork, July 1894: ‘Peculiarities of retreat were many, the most serious, the unnatural hour of morning devotions. … Some who had to come a distance had to get up at ¼ to 4am. Yet, notwithstanding two sledgehammer appeals, proprietors would not yield or allow one hour in the morning. Alleged excuse – the “Protestants at work would lose ¼ day and could not understand it”’.
Neary, Fidelis, 1855-1932, Capuchin priest
