Scope and content
A promotional prospectus for the Capuchin Franciscan College in Rochestown, County Cork. The front cover features a monochrome photographic plate of the college grounds and chapel, surmounted by the Capuchin Order’s emblem and the traditional Irish script motto, ‘Do chum Glóire Dé agus Onóra na h-Éireann’. The text details institutional operations, outlining the college’s picturesque location near Cork Harbour, its mission to train students for the priesthood, an expansive curriculum affiliated with the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction, and student requirements – notably setting the annual pension at 25 guineas and mandating that boarders’ clothing be of Irish manufacture where possible. Signed by the Rector, Fr. Edwin Fitzgibbon OFM Cap.
