The series includes records relating to temperance missions preached by the Irish Capuchin friars in the late nineteenth century and in the early years of the twentieth century. In October 1905 the Irish Catholic hierarchy called upon the Capuchins to undertake a nationwide temperance crusade. The friars preached dozens of temperance missions in parishes throughout the country. It was noted in 1912 that their ‘labours in the parishes partook much of the character of short missions or spiritual exercises, sometimes for three days, often times for a week, and not infrequently a fortnight … going from parish to parish, as consecutively as possibly, over a district. Experience proves that in the question of drink, the influence of one locality tells very much for good or for evil’ (CA MR-1-2-1-4). The series includes local mission reports, subscription and pledge-taking records, correspondence, publicity material, ephemera and newspaper reports relating to the temperance crusade.

Letter and subscription list re the erection of a new temperance hall in Sligo Town. Subscriptions are directed to be sent to either the parish priests in the town or to the Most Rev. John Clancy, Bishop of Elphin.

Record book chronicling the work of the National Temperance Crusade undertaken by the Capuchin friars at the request of the Irish Catholic bishops. The volume contains brief accounts of the various missions and the numbers who took the pledge in the various dioceses. The volume is paginated, and the information is arranged alphabetically by diocese name. It appears that the volume was left unused as a large portion of the content is left blank. A two-page manuscript insert by Fr. Angelus Healy OSFC refers to the origins of the temperance crusade and to the request from the Catholic bishops to the Irish Capuchins to formally begin their temperance missions in October 1905.
