Rochestown Friary Events, Departures, and ‘A Friar's Jubilee’

1 p.; manuscript and clipping

Chronicle entries and one pasted newspaper clipping that document the academic, ceremonial, and domestic activities of the Rochestown Capuchin Friary between 26 September 1908, and 4 September 1909. The records track the academic departures of student friars (Br. Ignatius, Br. Cyril, Br. Colman, Br. Alphonsus, Br. Philip, and Br. Paschal) to Dublin for university examinations and to Kilkenny for theological studies, alongside the religious professions of Bro. Eugene (Simple) and Bro. Vincent (Solemn) officiated by Very Rev. Fr. Kevin, Guardian. The central newspaper clipping details the golden jubilee celebration of the community's longtime questor, Brother Eliezer, attended by Very Rev. Father Peter, Provincial, and Very Rev. Dr. Jarlath. The remaining entries record the college appointment of Fr. Berchmans, an official visit by Most Rev. Fr. Anselm, Def. Gen., the transfer of Fr. Casimir to Dublin, a holiday visit from Fr. Brendan of the English Province, and the house's annual spiritual retreat conducted by Rev. Fr. Silvester.
