1 p.; clipping

Newspaper clipping from the ‘Irish Independent’ detailing a visit to Ireland by two American Capuchin friars from Pittsburgh: Very Rev. Father Clarence OFM Cap. and Very Rev. Father Claude, OFM Cap., Minister Provincial. In an interview with a reporter, the visiting clergymen praise Ireland’s postwar prosperity and contentment compared to continental Europe, following their attendance at a Capuchin Conference in Rome. The article highlights their warm reception by Irish President Seán T. O’Kelly and describes their visit to the Irish Red Cross Hostel in Glencree, where they commended the care provided to poor German children.
