Scope and content: A document detailing the status 1924–1925 for the Almae Provinciae Pennsylvanicae O.M.Cap. (the Capuchin Franciscan Province of Pennsylvania), established during a chapter meeting held on 15-17 July 1924, under Provincial Minister Father Henricus a Steinfeld. The ledger organizes the names and official ecclesiastical roles of the province’s friars across various regional locations, distinguishing between Patres (Fathers/Priests), Clerici (Clerics/Students), and Fratres Laici (Lay Brothers). It catalogues major friaries (Conventus) and smaller ministries (Hospitium) spanning multiple states, including sites in Pittsburgh and Herman, Pennsylvania; Cumberland, Maryland; Wheeling, West Virginia; Washington, D.C.; and several communities across Kansas such as Hays, Marienthal, Catherine, Victoria, and Ellis. A numerical summary box at the bottom right totals the province’s membership at 177 individuals, which includes 102 priests, 29 clerics, 31 professed lay brothers, 6 novices, and 9 tertiaries.
