Scope and content
Register of masses at the Church of St. Francis, Kilkenny. The entries include the signatures of the celebrants. Monthly totals of masses are added to some of the entries. The entries were routinely signed by the Provincial Minster at visitations. Masses for notable benefactors are also mentioned including John O’Connell (1843-1905) for whom 170 masses were said in 1905. A note on the final page of the volume specifies that a total of 400 masses are to be said for O’Connell. (See also IE CA KK/4/1/2).
