Minutes of Committee Meetings regarding the new Church of St. Mary of the Angels, Church Street, Dublin. The minutes appear to have been compiled by Fr. Daniel Patrick O’Reilly OSFC. The first meeting was held on 20 July 1861 ‘for the purpose of collecting funds for the erection of the church at which the Rt. Hon. Sir William Carroll [1819-1870] MD, Lord Mayor of Dublin, took the chair …’. The opening meeting referred to the ‘poverty of the location in which they [the Capuchins] have chosen with the spirit of their founder the Seraphic St. Francis … to erect a temple worthy of Catholicity …’. The minutes of the meetings mainly refer to efforts to secure funding for financing the construction of the new church. Statements of expenditure are included in some of the minutes.
