Scope and content
A compilation of recollections of Irish Capuchin friars compiled by an unknown author (but certainly written by another friar). The text contains miscellaneous remembrances and accounts of several friars including:
Fr. Laurence Dowling OFM Cap.
Fr. Cassian O’Shea OFM Cap.
Fr. Dermot O’Reilly OFM Cap.
‘The National Friars’ (Fr. Albert Bibby OFM Cap. and Fr. Dominic O’Connor OFM Cap.). Includes the text of a ‘short talk broadcast (in both news bulletins) by Fr. Michael O’Shea OFM Cap., from Saorstát Stations, October 18th’).
Fr. Matthew O’Connor OFM Cap.
Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap. (references his editorship of ‘The Capuchin Annual’ and outlines his routine in terms of managing the publication and his several notable acquaintances).
Fr. Canice Bourke OFM Cap.
Fr. Maurice Dowd OFM Cap.
The second half of the volume appears to contain the texts of sermons or possibly retreat notes.
