Reports on Local Temperance Missions

Report by Fr. Benignus Brennan OSFC on temperance missions given in various part of the country. The report includes the location of the mission, frequently terse information on the success (or otherwise) of the preaching including the numbers taking the pledge, and the general state of the temperance cause in the locality. The report includes references to missions held in Burtonport, Dungloe, Gweedore, Falcarragh, Dunfanaghy, Ballyshannon, Athleague, Westport, Achill and Ballygar. The report for Achill Island (where a mission was held from 9-12 Nov. 1906) reads as follows:
‘Ochone, ochone, the memory of it is enough to make one laugh or weep. The people are moral but absolutely indifferent, if not worse. About 330 took the pledge in this district and most of the people didn’t come near the church at all, so our exhortations to come to the retreat the old woman would answer – “musha may I would and may be wouldn’t”. To give a triduum in Achill and thereby do good would require the eloquence of St. Chrysostom, the strength of a Jerome and the support of the cat o’ nine tails, with which to drive the semi junipers to church. “Sure”, say they, “if our priests can’t do their work, let them pay others to do it out of their own pockets”. The parish priest was a splendid curser and in mortal terror of Fr. P[au]l’.

Reports on Local Temperance Missions

Reports on Local Temperance Missions

Report by Fr. Albert Bibby OSFC on temperance missions from Oct.-Dec. 1906. The report includes the location of the mission, information on the success (or otherwise) of the preaching including the numbers taking the pledge and the general state of the temperance cause in the locality. The locations include Ballyforan, Ballygar, Louisburgh and Clare Island. The report on Ballygar, County Galway (where a mission was held from 2-16 Dec 1906) reads as follows: ‘Nearly all the heads of families took a pledge not to give intoxicating drinks at funerals or wakes or American wakes (held on night previous to some member of family going to America) whilst all others promised not to accept drink on these occasions’. The ‘American Wake’, sometimes referred to as the ‘Live Wake’, was a unique leave-taking ceremony for rural Irish people travelling to the United States. ‘American Wakes’ took place prior to the Great Famine, but most of the documentary evidence survives from the late 1800s and early 1900s. It was most commonly practiced in counties along the western seaboard where traditional customs remained most potent. Usually held on the evening prior to an emigrant's departure, the ‘American Wake’ resembled its ceremonial model, the traditional wake for the dead. It represented a permanent breaking of earthly ties for people who regarded emigration as death’s equivalent.
