Scope and content
Ledger of income derived from mass intentions at the Church of St. Francis, Kilkenny. The title is given on the first page: ‘House Intentions Book’. Entries are listed under the number of masses said and the amount of money received. Monthly totals are also given. A list of bequests with the amount of masses to be said and stipends received is extant on the final pages of the volume. The entries include the Walsh bequest of January 1914 (29 masses said at 2s 6d) and ‘Mrs Fleming’s bequest’ of 8 May 1915 (40 masses at 5s in stipends). A manuscript annotation at the end of this section reads: ‘All above masses have been said, Fr. Aloysius Travers of Cork, Provincial Minister, 7 April 1915’. Entries throughout the volume are periodically signed by the Provincial Minister at visitations.
