This section includes registers and appointment books recording the names of Capuchin priests celebrating masses at Holy Trinity Church in Cork. Historical mass books (pre-dating circa 1970) have evidently been lost. However, Fr. Angelus Healy OFM Cap. (1875-1953) took extracts from some of the original (and now lost) mass registers for the purposes of his historical research. Some of this research has survived (see CA HT/7/7 and CA HT/7/8).

This file includes a document relating to St. Joseph’s Catholic Cemetery in Cork. In the late 1820s, Fr. Theobald Mathew OSFC expressed his discontent that all the graveyards in the city remained under Protestant supervision. Permission had to be obtained by priests to officiate at Catholic burials. This permission was frequently only grudgingly given and having personally witnessed an attempt by the Protestant Dean of Cork to prevent the Catholic Dean from officiating in St. Finbarr’s Churchyard, Fr. Mathew moved to acquire a burial ground for Catholics. As a result of a well-supported subscription, parts of the Botanic gardens were leased and opened in February 1830 and were designated as St. Joseph’s Cemetery.

Draft lease by the Corporation of Cork to the Most Rev. Thomas Alphonsus O’Callaghan (1839-1916), Bishop of Cork, and the Rev. Canon Augustine Maguire, Parish Priest of St. Finn Barr’s Catholic Church, Cork, of premises on Blackamoor Lane ‘which were formerly used as a Roman Catholic Chapel with Sacristy attached thereto and was commonly called and known as “Father Mathew’s Chapel”’, for 75 years at the nominal yearly rent of £1. Also, in consideration that should the lessees sell the said premises they will ‘erect a suitable Hall as a Memorial for the Reverend Theobald Mathew deceased (who was styled the Apostle of Temperance)’. The lessees will also expend £300 on the erection of the said Memorial Hall. An annotation on the cover reads: ‘Recommended that the lease be approved’.
