15 pp; 39.5 cm x 25.5 cm; Bound volume; Manuscript

List of missions and retreats given by the Capuchin friars of Holy Trinity Church, Cork. Gilt title to front cover of the volume reads: ‘Record of Missions / Capuchin Friary / Cork’. The information is given under the headings of place, diocese, name of conducting priest and remarks. From 1927-48, a single entry referring to missions and retreats conducted by Fr. Joseph Fenlon OFM Cap. (1875-1963) and other friars in the United States and in Canada is made. Periodic reference is made to the success of a mission such as the enrollment of 1,710 individuals into the Father Mathew Temperance Association attached to the Church Street Friary, Dublin, in April 1909.

Over-sized storage. The volume is in very poor condition. The spine binding has completely disintegrated, and numerous pages are detached. The front cover is also detached, and the end cover is missing. Very careful manual handling of the volume is required.
