Scope and content
A liturgical register detailing the mass intentions received, logged, and discharged at St. Brigid’s Hospice in Rochestown, County Cork. The volume provides a legal and spiritual record of the community’s mass stipends, devotional obligations, and internal liturgical activities. Later entries specify the number of masses said in the house and the number sent to the Provincial Secretary. The entries are routinely signed by the Guardian and occasionally by the Provincial Minister during visitations.

Note
Following a formal definitorial enactment in August 1940, Rochestown College was administratively separated from the adjacent Capuchin friary. The property was subsequently erected into a hospice dedicated to Saint Brigid, operating as an autonomous entity dependent directly upon the jurisdiction of the Provincial Minister.
