The Franciscan Order — Centenary Celebration at Oxford

1 p.; clipping

Newspaper clipping reporting on international Franciscan milestones and local academic achievements. The text under the headline ‘The Franciscan Order — Centenary Celebration at Oxford’ details the three-day seventh centenary celebrations in Oxford attended by the Archbishop of Westminster and five English bishops. It highlights that Ireland was officially represented at the event by Father Peter Bowe OFM Cap. (Provincial Minister) and Father Kevin Moynihan OFM Cap., B.A., D.Ph. (Louvain), Guardian of the Monastery, Rochestown, Cork. The second half of the article draws a parallel between the historic revival in Oxford and a ‘new educational era’ in Ireland, announcing the election of Fr. Edwin Fitzgibbon OFM Cap., B.A., D.Ph. to the newly established Chair of Lecturer in Scholastic Philosophy at University College, Cork. It highlights Father Edwin’s prior association with the Friary Church, his brilliant academic course at the University of Louvain, and concludes with a quote from a Dominican orator praising the Franciscan tradition of blending learning with simplicity.
