A copy report of a temperance procession held in Cork at Easter in 1842. The report provides a list of temperance societies and bands which marched on this occasion. The report may have been transcribed from a newspaper report published during the Father Mathew centenary celebrations in 1890. The report also has a copy of the ‘Centenary Ode’ composed for Fr. Mathew by Eugene Davis which was recited by Fr. Michael O’Flynn, CC, Saint Peter and Saint Paul’s Church, during the commemorations.

Clippings from the 'Westport News', 'Irish Catholic', 'Mayo News', reporting on temperance missions given by the Capuchin friars in Claremorris, Westport, Ballinrobe, Achill (County Mayo) and in other locations in the West of Ireland. With cover.
Newspaper clippings assembled by Fr. Angelus Healy OSFC relating primarily to temperance missions given by the Irish Capuchin friars. A manuscript index compiled by Fr. Angelus is inserted into the front of the volume giving the title of the newspaper, the event referred to in the article, and the date. Other clippings refer to anniversary commemorations of Fr. Theobald Mathew OSFC, lectures, sermons and retreats given by Fr. Angelus and other friars (some refer to the death of Michael Davitt and commemorations of the Manchester Martyrs), ordinations, the Croagh Patrick pilgrimage, the mission to Ireland of the Most Rev. Ignatius Perisco OSFC (1823-1896), the jubilee of Father Mathew Hall, Church Street, Dublin, and items of topographical and local history interest.
List of temperance missions given by the Capuchin friars listed under the location and date. Occasional reference is made to the priests conducting missions and to the congregation (including a Children of Mary sodality in Cork).
Record book chronicling the work of the National Temperance Crusade undertaken by the Capuchin friars at the request of the Irish Catholic bishops. The volume contains brief accounts of the various missions and the numbers who took the pledge in the various dioceses. The volume is paginated, and the information is arranged alphabetically by diocese name. It appears that the volume was left unused as a large portion of the content is left blank. A two-page manuscript insert by Fr. Angelus Healy OSFC refers to the origins of the temperance crusade and to the request from the Catholic bishops to the Irish Capuchins to formally begin their temperance missions in October 1905.
