Verbal Process of the Canonical Visitation of Rochestown

1 p.; manuscript

A ‘Verbal Process’ documenting the canonical visitation of the Convent of St. Joseph, Rochestown, County Cork, conducted by Minister Provincial Father Edwing Fitzgibbon OFM Cap. in April 1920. Following the formal opening before the assembled community in the refectory, physical inspections of the church, sacristy, library, and cells, and private interviews with all religious members, the document sets forth a specific liturgical directive. It mandates that the letters of the Pope and the Most Reverend Father General concerning the tercentenary celebration of the death of St. Lawrence of Brindisi (originally published in the May 1919 issue of ‘Analecta Ordinis’) be read aloud again in the refectory before the Feast of St. Lawrence on July 22 and instructs the Father Guardian to arrange the prescribed Solemn Triduum. The record concludes with final instructions to the community, the hearing of faults, the granting of the Plenary Indulgence and Absolution from all censures.
