Prospectus for Capuchin Franciscan College, Rochestown

3 pp; printed

A prospectus outlining the regulatory, academic, and material requirements for candidates entering the Capuchin Franciscan College in Rochestown, County Cork. The document details the college’s dual purpose of providing a general secondary education alongside preparatory training for the Capuchin priesthood. It lists admission rules —requiring students to be over eleven years of age, confirmed, and capable of sitting the National University of Ireland (N.U.I.) Matriculation Examination — alongside a curriculum featuring classical languages, mathematics, Irish, elocution, and music. Additionally, the prospectus itemizes student term fees (£12 per term), the three-term calendar, and an inventory of mandatory personal effects and bedding (including a leather pillow and blankets) that must be brought by each pupil, emphasizing a preference for items of Irish manufacture.
