Information supplied by Irish Capuchin friars residing in Abbottstown, Pennsylvania, to Fr. Edwin Fitzgibbon OFM Cap., Provincial Minister, during his visitation. The document includes a comprehensive log of religious masses said by specific Capuchin priests at Paradise Parish in Abbottstown between August 1919 and June 1921, dedicated to the intentions of the Most Reverend Father General. Includes chronological tallies and specific location notes for individual clergy members – including Fathers Brendan, Benignus, Malachy, Ferdinand, Raphael, Leo, Gabriel, Ambrose, and Vincent – culminating in a ‘Grand Total’ of 103 masses. It also features a structured ledger cross-referencing individual priests against specific intentions, such as ‘Jubilees’, ‘House & Pious’, deceased family members (e.g., ‘Fr. John’s Mother’), and general intercessions like ‘Def. Gen. Eugenio’ and ‘Pro Fid. Def’. Handwritten annotations throughout provide contextual updates on the priests’ movements, indicating whether they arrived late, left for other locations like Lincoln in Nebraska or if a particular mass went unrecorded.
