A Christmas greeting card signed by Douglas Hyde (Dubhghlas de hÍde). The card is signed ‘An Craoibhín’, an abbreviated form of ‘An Craoibhín Aoibhinn’ (meaning the ‘pleasant little branch’), a pen name frequently used by Hyde. As the head of state, Hyde was the supreme commander of the Irish Defence Forces. The card shows the cap badge design of the Irish Defence forces which was itself derived from the badge of the Irish Volunteers.

This section includes documents relating the refurbishment of Church and Friary of St. Mary of the Angels which took place from 1970-5.

Externally, the Gothic character of St. Mary of the Angels was largely preserved and most of the side altars between the main body of the Church and the Sacred Heart Chapel were retained as shrines.
