Demolition for a Stately Home

Clipping of an article titled ‘Demolition for a Stately Home’ published in the 'Derry Journal'. The article refers to opening of the new Ard Mhuire Friary and House of Studies and recalls the history of the friars in Donegal since they acquired the former Ards House in 1930. The article includes a photographic print of Fr. Fergus Lawless OFM Cap. (1904-1991), Regular Superior, Capuchin Custody of California, in the oratory of the ‘soon-to-be demolished’ old Ard Mhuire Friary. It is noted that Fr. Fergus entered the old friary in 1933 and was ordained in St. Eunan’s Cathedral in Letterkenny.

• ‘Demolition of old Ards House in progress’.
