Letter from Father Paul Neary regarding the Father Mathew Centenary Celebration

1 p; manuscript

A formal credential and authorization letter issued by Fr. Paul Neary OFM Cap., Provincial Minister, signed and sealed at the Rochestown Monastery on 18 October 1889. The text follows a resolution passed by the Father Mathew Centenary Celebration Committee at Charlotte Quay, Cork. It officially authorizes Brother Masseo – noted as a former companion and secretary to Father Mathew during his American tour – to travel through the United States and the Americas to collect financial subscriptions. These funds were designated for the centenary celebrations of Father Theobald Mathew (‘Apostle of Temperance’) and the completion of the Church of the Most Holy Trinity in Cork.
