Scope and content
Copies of the ‘Seraphic Child of Mary’, a monthly periodical published by the Capuchin friars in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This magazine was published directly in the interest of the Seraphic Work of Charity in Pittsburgh. This charitable organization was a primary backing force behind the Toner Institute (and Seraphic Home for Boys), an orphanage and boarding school for dependent or neglected children established in the Pittsburgh region in 1899. The publication was later known as the ‘Seraphic Home Journal’. The office address printed on the cover (220 37th Street, Pittsburgh) is the location of St. Augustine Capuchin Monastery in the Lawrenceville neighbourhood. The file contains several editions of magazine printed between 1905 and 1911.
