History
Francis McDonnell was born in the town of Carrigaline in County Cork in 1872. He joined the Capuchin Franciscans in September 1889 and took Mark as his religious name. He was ordained to the priesthood on 2 July 1896. Shortly after his ordination, he took charge of the Catholic Boys’ Brigade on Church Street in Dublin. Following the Provincial Chapter of 1904, he was appointed guardian (local superior) of the Capuchin community in Kilkenny. He subsequently returned to Dublin and served as guardian of the Church Street Friary from 1919 to 1922. He was twice elected Provincial Definitor (councillor), from 1922-5 and from 1925-8. He was an active member of the Capuchin missionary staff and was well known as a preacher and retreat giver throughout the country. He died in Dublin on 12 June 1947 and was buried in Glasnevin Cemetery.
