A fundraising booklet issued to collect donations on behalf of the Capuchin College in Rochestown, County Cork. The inner pages contain a printed circular titled ‘Education of Young Men’, outlining the missionary purpose of the college, noting its minimal annual pension of £20 per annum, and offering spiritual benefits (such as an annual Plenary Indulgence granted by Leo XIII in 1886 and three weekly Community Masses) for its benefactors. The designated collector for this booklet was Miss Shorten. The document is officially signed at the foot by the Capuchin Provincial, Fr. Paul Neary OSFC. The booklet contains some entries noting contributions to the fund.
