                  <text>The collection contains two publications of St. Brigid’s Orphanage. It is envisaged that other publications may be added to this collection in the future, as part of an ongoing curatorial project. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;St. Brigid’s Orphanage: Instructions to the Nurses (1899, 2nd Edition). It is submitted by the Sisters of the Holy Faith. The guide focuses on providing instructions for Nurses (foster parents), who are the mainstay of the boarding-out system (foster care). The six specific instructions are: Instructions, Correction, Good Example, Vigilance, Schooling and Work. Nurses (foster parents) are encouraged or incentivised, via premiums, to accept orphans as their own. In addition, they are encouraged to foster Catholic teachings, create awareness of Protestantism, and provide appropriate ‘correction’ or corporal punishment. Nurses (foster parents) are provided with examples of maladaptive behaviours, expectations from education and the recommended school-age, expected level of educational attainment. They are also instructed on the differing roles male and female children display; particularly with regard to functional responsibilities and their position in the home and/or farm. St. Brigid’s Orphanage for the &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rescue of Irish Catholic Children from Protestant Proselytism (1909). It is submitted by the Sisters of the Holy Faith and penned by Fr John Gowan. The booklet opens with a request for support and donations for St. Brigid’s Orphanage. It notes that the orphanage was founded ‘for the purpose of rescuing Catholic Orphans and destitute children from the Proselytizers’. It mentions the indulgences granted by Pope Pius IX, Pope Leo XIII, and Pope Pius X. Examples of orphan circumstances are depicted. The document discusses the work of St. Brigid’s Orphanage, the boarding-out (foster care) system and the Nurses (foster parents) living in the countryside. Protocols for religious instruction and education, in general, is detailed. The booklet also provides a reprint of the Annual Charity Sermon by Rev. Thomas Maher, S.J. His sermon encompasses subjects such as Proselytism, describing the Holy Faith Sisters as heroic, the famine of 1845 and ‘black’ 1847, discrimination in employment, anti-Catholic quotes from various public figures, and an overall denunciation of the Protestant faith. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On behalf of the Sisters of the Holy Faith Congregational Archives, this collection was digitised and curated by Helena La Pina (2020).</text>

                  <text>The collection contains two publications of St. Brigid’s Orphanage. It is envisaged that other publications may be added to this collection in the future, as part of an ongoing curatorial project. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;St. Brigid’s Orphanage: Instructions to the Nurses (1899, 2nd Edition). It is submitted by the Sisters of the Holy Faith. The guide focuses on providing instructions for Nurses (foster parents), who are the mainstay of the boarding-out system (foster care). The six specific instructions are: Instructions, Correction, Good Example, Vigilance, Schooling and Work. Nurses (foster parents) are encouraged or incentivised, via premiums, to accept orphans as their own. In addition, they are encouraged to foster Catholic teachings, create awareness of Protestantism, and provide appropriate ‘correction’ or corporal punishment. Nurses (foster parents) are provided with examples of maladaptive behaviours, expectations from education and the recommended school-age, expected level of educational attainment. They are also instructed on the differing roles male and female children display; particularly with regard to functional responsibilities and their position in the home and/or farm. St. Brigid’s Orphanage for the &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rescue of Irish Catholic Children from Protestant Proselytism (1909). It is submitted by the Sisters of the Holy Faith and penned by Fr John Gowan. The booklet opens with a request for support and donations for St. Brigid’s Orphanage. It notes that the orphanage was founded ‘for the purpose of rescuing Catholic Orphans and destitute children from the Proselytizers’. It mentions the indulgences granted by Pope Pius IX, Pope Leo XIII, and Pope Pius X. Examples of orphan circumstances are depicted. The document discusses the work of St. Brigid’s Orphanage, the boarding-out (foster care) system and the Nurses (foster parents) living in the countryside. Protocols for religious instruction and education, in general, is detailed. The booklet also provides a reprint of the Annual Charity Sermon by Rev. Thomas Maher, S.J. His sermon encompasses subjects such as Proselytism, describing the Holy Faith Sisters as heroic, the famine of 1845 and ‘black’ 1847, discrimination in employment, anti-Catholic quotes from various public figures, and an overall denunciation of the Protestant faith. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On behalf of the Sisters of the Holy Faith Congregational Archives, this collection was digitised and curated by Helena La Pina (2020).</text>

                  <text>This digital collection consists of a series of fifty annual reports of St. Brigid's Orphanage. Initially, from 1857 to 1860, the reports were delivered as part of the Annual Reports of the Ladies’ Association of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. Overall, the reports detail the number of orphans; the reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; the schooling of orphans; the rearing of orphans; and often note mortality rates and apprenticeships. Examples of orphan circumstances are often depicted. The reports describe the support and donations for the cause; noting the support of clergymen and several guild associations. The boarding-out (foster care) system is described throughout the reports along with premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) with explanations of how the payment system works. In general, the reports offer insights to the protocols for religious instruction and education. Most reports discuss Proselytism, and some reports provide information about Protestant institutions (orphanages, schools, etc.). According to Jacinta Prunty (1999, 56-57), Margaret Aylward is considered to be the main author of these reports prior to her death in 1889. The reports are valuable little-known primary sources for the study of charity networks, poor relief, orphan statistics, childcare, foster care, and education in nineteenth-century Ireland. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On behalf of the Sisters of the Holy Faith Congregational Archives, this collection was digitised and curated by Helena La Pina (2020). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;References Prunty, J. (1999) &lt;em&gt;Margaret Aylward, 1810-89: Lady of Charity, Sister of Faith&lt;/em&gt;, Four Courts Press Ltd.</text>

                <text>Fiftieth Annual Report of St. Brigid’s Orphanage (1907). It is submitted by the Sisters of the Holy Faith. The report details the number of orphans; reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; orphan apprenticeships; the schooling of orphans; ‘The acquisition of secular knowledge is necessary but holds a secondary place'; and the rearing of orphans. Case histories are detailed. It notes that admissions were mostly for children in danger of losing their Catholic Faith.  Proselytism is  mentioned throughout.  Examples of orphan circumstances are depicted. Protocols for religious instruction and education in general is detailed. The benefits of the boarding-out (foster care) system is discussed. It explains how Holy Faith Schools are not in receipt of state aid.  It provides statistics on attendance; and of children who completed First Communion, and Confirmation. It accounts for the number of children in attendance at Holy Faith schools who had previously been in Protestant schools. A list of benefactors and donations to St. Brigid’s Orphanage and Holy Faith Schools is listed (including clergymen and guild associations). Two Charity Sermons are reprinted. One by  Fr Lynch and St. Brigid’s celebrating its golden jubilee and one from Fr Albert Keane, O.D.C. In the appendix is a letter of solicitation for support, donations, and subscriptions, including donations by the guardians of the North Dublin Union. Also, in the appendix is a description of assistance of the Sisters of the Holy Faith to the Society of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen Of Charity, in Little Strand Street; and an extract of a pamphlet published by his Lordship the Bishop of Southwark and kindly presented to St. Brigid’s Orphanage, titled ‘Practical Direction and Suggestions as to Appointed Testamentary Guardian.’ </text>

                  <text>This digital collection consists of a series of fifty annual reports of St. Brigid's Orphanage. Initially, from 1857 to 1860, the reports were delivered as part of the Annual Reports of the Ladies’ Association of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. Overall, the reports detail the number of orphans; the reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; the schooling of orphans; the rearing of orphans; and often note mortality rates and apprenticeships. Examples of orphan circumstances are often depicted. The reports describe the support and donations for the cause; noting the support of clergymen and several guild associations. The boarding-out (foster care) system is described throughout the reports along with premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) with explanations of how the payment system works. In general, the reports offer insights to the protocols for religious instruction and education. Most reports discuss Proselytism, and some reports provide information about Protestant institutions (orphanages, schools, etc.). According to Jacinta Prunty (1999, 56-57), Margaret Aylward is considered to be the main author of these reports prior to her death in 1889. The reports are valuable little-known primary sources for the study of charity networks, poor relief, orphan statistics, childcare, foster care, and education in nineteenth-century Ireland. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On behalf of the Sisters of the Holy Faith Congregational Archives, this collection was digitised and curated by Helena La Pina (2020). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;References Prunty, J. (1999) &lt;em&gt;Margaret Aylward, 1810-89: Lady of Charity, Sister of Faith&lt;/em&gt;, Four Courts Press Ltd.</text>

In general, the reports offer insights to the protocols for religious instruction and education. Most reports discuss Proselytism, and some reports provide information about Protestant institutions (orphanages, schools, etc.). According to Jacinta Prunty (1999, 56-57), Margaret Aylward is considered to be the main author of these reports prior to her death in 1889. The reports are valuable little-known primary sources for the study of charity networks, poor relief, orphan statistics, childcare, foster care, and education in nineteenth-century Ireland. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On behalf of the Sisters of the Holy Faith Congregational Archives, this collection was digitised and curated by Helena La Pina (2020). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;References Prunty, J.

                <text>Forty-Eight Annual Report of St. Brigid’s Orphanage (1905). It is submitted by the Sisters of the Holy Faith. The report details the number of orphans; reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; orphan apprenticeships; the schooling of orphans; and the rearing of orphans. Examples of orphan circumstances are depicted.  Proselytism and Protestant institutions are mentioned. Protocols for religious instruction and education in general is detailed. The benefits of the boarding-out (foster care) system is discussed; and premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) is noted. It thanks the clergy, guild associations, and Mr. Steiner for their work in collecting donations. The report discusses the work of the Holy Faith schools. It explains how Holy Faith Schools are not in receipt of state aid. It provides statistics on attendance; and of children who completed First Communion, and Confirmation. A list of benefactors and donations to St. Brigid’s Orphanage and Holy Faith Schools is listed (including clergymen and guild associations). A brief by Pope Pius X is mentioned. A short extract of a Charity Sermon by Fr Conmee is included, as is a Charity Sermon by Fr Angelus Irvine O.D.C, which was reprinted in the Irish Catholic in December 1904. In the appendix is a letter of solicitation for support, donations, and subscriptions. Also, in the appendix is a description of assistance of the Sisters of the Holy Faith to the Society of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen Of Charity, in Little Strand Street; and an extract of a pamphlet published by his Lordship the Bishop of Southwark and kindly presented to St. Brigid’s Orphanage, titled ‘Practical Direction and Suggestions as to Appointed Testamentary Guardian.’ </text>

                  <text>This digital collection consists of a series of fifty annual reports of St. Brigid's Orphanage. Initially, from 1857 to 1860, the reports were delivered as part of the Annual Reports of the Ladies’ Association of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. Overall, the reports detail the number of orphans; the reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; the schooling of orphans; the rearing of orphans; and often note mortality rates and apprenticeships. Examples of orphan circumstances are often depicted. The reports describe the support and donations for the cause; noting the support of clergymen and several guild associations. The boarding-out (foster care) system is described throughout the reports along with premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) with explanations of how the payment system works. In general, the reports offer insights to the protocols for religious instruction and education. Most reports discuss Proselytism, and some reports provide information about Protestant institutions (orphanages, schools, etc.). According to Jacinta Prunty (1999, 56-57), Margaret Aylward is considered to be the main author of these reports prior to her death in 1889. The reports are valuable little-known primary sources for the study of charity networks, poor relief, orphan statistics, childcare, foster care, and education in nineteenth-century Ireland. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On behalf of the Sisters of the Holy Faith Congregational Archives, this collection was digitised and curated by Helena La Pina (2020). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;References Prunty, J. (1999) &lt;em&gt;Margaret Aylward, 1810-89: Lady of Charity, Sister of Faith&lt;/em&gt;, Four Courts Press Ltd.</text>

                <text>Forty-Seventh Annual Report of St. Brigid’s Orphanage (1904). It is submitted by the Sisters of the Holy Faith. The report details the number of orphans; reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; orphan apprenticeships; the schooling of orphans; and the rearing of orphans. Examples of orphan circumstances are depicted. It notes that admissions were mostly for children in danger of losing their Catholic Faith. Protocols for religious instruction and education in general is detailed. The benefits of the boarding-out (foster care) system is discussed; and premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) is noted. Proselytism and Protestant institutions are mentioned. It thanks the clergy, guild associations, and Mr. Steiner for their work in collecting donations. The report discusses the work of the Holy Faith schools. It pays tribute to the work of Margaret Aylward and Fr John Gowan. It explains how Holy Faith Schools are not in receipt of state aid. It details the opening of a new day school in Greystones Co. Wicklow. It provides statistics on attendance; and of children who completed First Communion, and Confirmation. A list of benefactors and donations to St. Brigid’s Orphanage and Holy Faith Schools is listed (including clergymen and guild associations). Several sermons reprinted, including one titled ‘Country Living’ by Fr Alphonsus Kelly O.D.C to aid St. Brigid’s Orphanage where he mentions 'the sisters placed the children in the quiet farmhouses of the country’ and it is reprinted in the Irish Catholic. In the appendix is a letter of solicitation for support, donations, and subscriptions. Also, in the appendix is a description of assistance of the Sisters of the Holy Faith to the Society of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen Of Charity, in Little Strand Street; and an extract of a pamphlet published by his Lordship the Bishop of Southwark and kindly presented to St. Brigid’s Orphanage, titled ‘Practical Direction and Suggestions as to Appointed Testamentary Guardian.’&#13;

                  <text>This digital collection consists of a series of fifty annual reports of St. Brigid's Orphanage. Initially, from 1857 to 1860, the reports were delivered as part of the Annual Reports of the Ladies’ Association of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. Overall, the reports detail the number of orphans; the reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; the schooling of orphans; the rearing of orphans; and often note mortality rates and apprenticeships. Examples of orphan circumstances are often depicted. The reports describe the support and donations for the cause; noting the support of clergymen and several guild associations. The boarding-out (foster care) system is described throughout the reports along with premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) with explanations of how the payment system works. In general, the reports offer insights to the protocols for religious instruction and education. Most reports discuss Proselytism, and some reports provide information about Protestant institutions (orphanages, schools, etc.). According to Jacinta Prunty (1999, 56-57), Margaret Aylward is considered to be the main author of these reports prior to her death in 1889.

                <text>Forty-Sixth Annual Report of St. Brigid’s Orphanage (1903). It is submitted by the Sisters of the Holy Faith. The report details the number of orphans; reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; orphan apprenticeships described as trades; the schooling of orphans; and the rearing of orphans. Examples of orphan circumstances are depicted. It notes that admissions were mostly for children in danger of losing their Catholic Faith. Examples of orphan circumstances are depicted. Protocols for religious instruction and education in general is detailed. The benefits of the boarding-out (foster care) system is discussed; and premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) is noted. It thanks the clergy, guild associations, and Mr. Steiner for their work in collecting donations. Proselytism and Protestant institutions are mentioned. It provides a summary of a charity sermon by Fr Henry Lynch (Jesuit Fathers, Gardiner Street). The report discusses the work of the Holy Faith schools. It explains how Holy Faith Schools are not in receipt of state aid. It provides statistics on attendance; and of children who completed First Communion, and Confirmation. It accounts for the number of children in attendance at Holy Faith schools who had previously been in Protestant schools. The report reprints an annual appeal sermon for Holy Faith Schools by Fr Alphonsus Kelly. It pays tribute to the work of Margaret Aylward and Fr John Gowan. A list of benefactors and donations to St. Brigid’s Orphanage and Holy Faith Schools is listed (including clergymen and guild associations). In the appendix is a letter of solicitation for support, donations, and subscriptions. Also, in the appendix is a description of assistance of the Sisters of the Holy Faith to the Society of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen Of Charity, in Little Strand Street; and an extract of a pamphlet published by his Lordship the Bishop of Southwark and kindly presented to St. Brigid’s Orphanage, titled ‘Practical Direction and Suggestions as to Appointed Testamentary Guardian.’</text>

                  <text>This digital collection consists of a series of fifty annual reports of St. Brigid's Orphanage. Initially, from 1857 to 1860, the reports were delivered as part of the Annual Reports of the Ladies’ Association of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. Overall, the reports detail the number of orphans; the reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; the schooling of orphans; the rearing of orphans; and often note mortality rates and apprenticeships. Examples of orphan circumstances are often depicted. The reports describe the support and donations for the cause; noting the support of clergymen and several guild associations. The boarding-out (foster care) system is described throughout the reports along with premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) with explanations of how the payment system works. In general, the reports offer insights to the protocols for religious instruction and education. Most reports discuss Proselytism, and some reports provide information about Protestant institutions (orphanages, schools, etc.). According to Jacinta Prunty (1999, 56-57), Margaret Aylward is considered to be the main author of these reports prior to her death in 1889. The reports are valuable little-known primary sources for the study of charity networks, poor relief, orphan statistics, childcare, foster care, and education in nineteenth-century Ireland. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On behalf of the Sisters of the Holy Faith Congregational Archives, this collection was digitised and curated by Helena La Pina (2020). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;References Prunty, J.

                <text>Forty-Fifth Annual Report of St. Brigid’s Orphanage (1902). It is submitted by the Sisters of the Holy Faith. The report details the number of orphans; reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; orphan apprenticeships; the schooling of orphans; and the rearing of orphans. Examples of orphan circumstances are depicted. Proselytism and Protestant institutions are mentioned. It notes that admissions were mostly for children in danger of losing their Catholic Faith. Protocols for religious instruction and education in general is detailed. The benefits of the boarding-out (foster care) system is discussed; and premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) is noted. It thanks the clergy, guild associations, and Mr. Steiner for their work in collecting donations. It notes that ‘Brigid’s Orphanage is not merely in name but in reality a home orphanage...inseparable from the good Irish Catholic country home'. The report discusses the work of the Holy Faith schools. It notes the work of Margaret Aylward and Fr John Gowan in establishing the schools.  It explains how Holy Faith Schools are not in receipt of state aid. It provides statistics on attendance; and of children who completed First Communion, and Confirmation. A list of benefactors and donations to St. Brigid’s Orphanage and Holy Faith Schools is listed (including clergymen and guild associations). In the appendix is a letter of solicitation for support, donations, and subscriptions. Also, in the appendix is a description of assistance of the Sisters of the Holy Faith to the Society of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen Of Charity, in Little Strand Street; and an extract of a pamphlet published by his Lordship the Bishop of Southwark and kindly presented to St. Brigid’s Orphanage, titled ‘Practical Direction and Suggestions as to Appointed Testamentary Guardian.’</text>

                  <text>This digital collection consists of a series of fifty annual reports of St. Brigid's Orphanage. Initially, from 1857 to 1860, the reports were delivered as part of the Annual Reports of the Ladies’ Association of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. Overall, the reports detail the number of orphans; the reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; the schooling of orphans; the rearing of orphans; and often note mortality rates and apprenticeships. Examples of orphan circumstances are often depicted. The reports describe the support and donations for the cause; noting the support of clergymen and several guild associations. The boarding-out (foster care) system is described throughout the reports along with premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) with explanations of how the payment system works. In general, the reports offer insights to the protocols for religious instruction and education. Most reports discuss Proselytism, and some reports provide information about Protestant institutions (orphanages, schools, etc.). According to Jacinta Prunty (1999, 56-57), Margaret Aylward is considered to be the main author of these reports prior to her death in 1889. The reports are valuable little-known primary sources for the study of charity networks, poor relief, orphan statistics, childcare, foster care, and education in nineteenth-century Ireland. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On behalf of the Sisters of the Holy Faith Congregational Archives, this collection was digitised and curated by Helena La Pina (2020). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;References Prunty, J.

                <text>Forty-Fourth Report of St. Brigid’s Orphanage (1901). It is submitted by the Sisters of the Holy Faith. The report describes that the orphanage was founded ‘to save Catholic Orphans and Catholic destitute children from the greatest misfortune that could befall them, loss of Faith.’ The report details the number of orphans; reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; orphan apprenticeships; the schooling of orphans; and the rearing of orphans. Examples of orphan circumstances are depicted. Proselytism and Protestant institutions are mentioned. It notes that admissions were mostly for children in danger of losing their Catholic Faith. Protocols for religious instruction and education, in general, is detailed. The benefits of the boarding-out (foster care) system is discussed; and premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) is noted. It thanks the clergy, guild associations, and Mr. Steiner for their work in collecting donations. The report discusses the work of the Holy Faith schools. It notes the work of Margaret Aylward and Fr John Gowan in establishing the schools. Acknowledgement is given to the Discalced Carmelite Fathers and the ‘gentlemen of the Confraternity’ who donated its Clarendon Street Concert Hall to the Holy Faith Sisters during school renovations. It explains how Holy Faith Schools are not in receipt of state aid. It provides statistics on attendance; and of children who completed First Communion, and Confirmation. It accounts for the number of children in attendance at Holy Faith schools who had previously been in Protestant schools. It specifies female training in that they 'get a special course of training in all kinds of housework at our convents on Saturdays'. It details the benefits of a Catholic education over a secular education. It notes the work of the lending library. A list of benefactors and donations to St. Brigid’s Orphanage and Holy Faith Schools is listed (including clergymen and guild associations). In the appendix is a letter of solicitation for support, donations, and subscriptions. Also, in the appendix is a description of assistance of the Sisters of the Holy Faith to the Society of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen Of Charity, in Little Strand Street; and an extract of a pamphlet published by his Lordship the Bishop of Southwark and kindly presented to St. Brigid’s Orphanage, titled ‘Practical Direction and Suggestions as to Appointed Testamentary Guardian.’</text>

                  <text>This digital collection consists of a series of fifty annual reports of St. Brigid's Orphanage. Initially, from 1857 to 1860, the reports were delivered as part of the Annual Reports of the Ladies’ Association of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. Overall, the reports detail the number of orphans; the reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; the schooling of orphans; the rearing of orphans; and often note mortality rates and apprenticeships. Examples of orphan circumstances are often depicted. The reports describe the support and donations for the cause; noting the support of clergymen and several guild associations. The boarding-out (foster care) system is described throughout the reports along with premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) with explanations of how the payment system works. In general, the reports offer insights to the protocols for religious instruction and education. Most reports discuss Proselytism, and some reports provide information about Protestant institutions (orphanages, schools, etc.). According to Jacinta Prunty (1999, 56-57), Margaret Aylward is considered to be the main author of these reports prior to her death in 1889. The reports are valuable little-known primary sources for the study of charity networks, poor relief, orphan statistics, childcare, foster care, and education in nineteenth-century Ireland. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On behalf of the Sisters of the Holy Faith Congregational Archives, this collection was digitised and curated by Helena La Pina (2020). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;References Prunty, J.

                  <text>This digital collection consists of a series of fifty annual reports of St. Brigid's Orphanage. Initially, from 1857 to 1860, the reports were delivered as part of the Annual Reports of the Ladies’ Association of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. Overall, the reports detail the number of orphans; the reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; the schooling of orphans; the rearing of orphans; and often note mortality rates and apprenticeships. Examples of orphan circumstances are often depicted. The reports describe the support and donations for the cause; noting the support of clergymen and several guild associations. The boarding-out (foster care) system is described throughout the reports along with premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) with explanations of how the payment system works. In general, the reports offer insights to the protocols for religious instruction and education. Most reports discuss Proselytism, and some reports provide information about Protestant institutions (orphanages, schools, etc.). According to Jacinta Prunty (1999, 56-57), Margaret Aylward is considered to be the main author of these reports prior to her death in 1889. The reports are valuable little-known primary sources for the study of charity networks, poor relief, orphan statistics, childcare, foster care, and education in nineteenth-century Ireland. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On behalf of the Sisters of the Holy Faith Congregational Archives, this collection was digitised and curated by Helena La Pina (2020). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;References Prunty, J. (1999) &lt;em&gt;Margaret Aylward, 1810-89: Lady of Charity, Sister of Faith&lt;/em&gt;, Four Courts Press Ltd.</text>

                <text>Forty-Second Report of St. Brigid’s Orphanage (1898). It is submitted by the Sisters of the Holy Faith. The report details the number of orphans; reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; orphan apprenticeships; the schooling of orphans; and the rearing of orphans. Examples of orphan circumstances are depicted. Protocols for religious instruction and education in general is detailed. The benefits of the boarding-out (foster care) system is discussed; and premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) is noted. It gives thanks to the support of clergymen, guild associations and Mr. Steiner. The report discusses the work of the Holy Faith schools, all of which are not in receipt of state aid. It provides a brief account of Proselytism. It provides statistics on attendance; and of children who completed First Communion, and Confirmation. It notes the opening of a new infant school in The Coombe. It gives thanks to benefactors, members of the clergy and the collectors. A list of benefactors and donations to St. Brigid’s Orphanage and Holy Faith Schools is listed (including clergymen and guild associations). In the appendix is a letter of solicitation for support, donations, and subscriptions. Also, in the appendix is a description of assistance of the Sisters of the Holy Faith to the Society of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen Of Charity, in Little Strand Street; and an extract of a pamphlet published by his Lordship the Bishop of Southwark and kindly presented to St. Brigid’s Orphanage, titled ‘Practical Direction and Suggestions as to Appointed Testamentary Guardian.’ Also, in the appendix is reprint of a charity sermon by Rev. John Verdon, S.J. which was delivered on 13 November 1898.</text>

                  <text>This digital collection consists of a series of fifty annual reports of St. Brigid's Orphanage. Initially, from 1857 to 1860, the reports were delivered as part of the Annual Reports of the Ladies’ Association of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. Overall, the reports detail the number of orphans; the reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; the schooling of orphans; the rearing of orphans; and often note mortality rates and apprenticeships. Examples of orphan circumstances are often depicted. The reports describe the support and donations for the cause; noting the support of clergymen and several guild associations. The boarding-out (foster care) system is described throughout the reports along with premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) with explanations of how the payment system works. In general, the reports offer insights to the protocols for religious instruction and education. Most reports discuss Proselytism, and some reports provide information about Protestant institutions (orphanages, schools, etc.). According to Jacinta Prunty (1999, 56-57), Margaret Aylward is considered to be the main author of these reports prior to her death in 1889. The reports are valuable little-known primary sources for the study of charity networks, poor relief, orphan statistics, childcare, foster care, and education in nineteenth-century Ireland. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On behalf of the Sisters of the Holy Faith Congregational Archives, this collection was digitised and curated by Helena La Pina (2020). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;References Prunty, J. (1999) &lt;em&gt;Margaret Aylward, 1810-89: Lady of Charity, Sister of Faith&lt;/em&gt;, Four Courts Press Ltd.</text>

                <text>Forty-First Report of St. Brigid’s Orphanage (1897). It is submitted by the Sisters of the Holy Faith. The report mentions the death of Fr Gowan as reported the previous year, and notes: ‘with the deepest regret, the great loss met with in January of last year by the death of the Father, and (conjointly with Margaret Aylward) the Founder under God of all our Works’. The report details the number of orphans; reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; orphan apprenticeships; the schooling of orphans; and the rearing of orphans. It notes that admissions were mostly for children in danger of losing their Faith. Examples of orphan circumstances are depicted. Protocols for religious instruction and education in general is detailed. The benefits of the boarding-out (foster care) system is discussed; and premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) is noted. It notes that admissions were for children at most danger of losing their Catholic Faith. It describes the support of clergymen, guild associations and Mr. Steiner and notes the deaths of several benefactors. A request for volunteers and members to join the guilds is noted. The report discusses the work of the Holy Faith schools, all of which are not in receipt of state aid. It provides statistics on attendance; and of children who completed First Communion, and Confirmation. It accounts for the number of children who are presently in attendance at Holy Faith schools but had previously attended Protestant schools. It notes the founding of a Convent and three schools in Kilcoole, Co. Wicklow: ‘one for boys, one for girls, and a private day school’. It features the benefits of a Catholic education over a secular education. A list of benefactors and donations to St. Brigid’s Orphanage and Holy Faith Schools is listed (including clergymen and guild associations). In the appendix is a letter of solicitation for support, donations, and subscriptions. Also, in the appendix is a description of assistance of the Sisters of the Holy Faith to the Society of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen Of Charity, in Little Strand Street; and an extract of a pamphlet published by his Lordship the Bishop of Southwark and kindly presented to St. Brigid’s Orphanage, titled ‘Practical Direction and Suggestions as to Appointed Testamentary Guardian.’</text>

                  <text>This digital collection consists of a series of fifty annual reports of St. Brigid's Orphanage. Initially, from 1857 to 1860, the reports were delivered as part of the Annual Reports of the Ladies’ Association of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. Overall, the reports detail the number of orphans; the reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; the schooling of orphans; the rearing of orphans; and often note mortality rates and apprenticeships. Examples of orphan circumstances are often depicted. The reports describe the support and donations for the cause; noting the support of clergymen and several guild associations. The boarding-out (foster care) system is described throughout the reports along with premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) with explanations of how the payment system works. In general, the reports offer insights to the protocols for religious instruction and education. Most reports discuss Proselytism, and some reports provide information about Protestant institutions (orphanages, schools, etc.). According to Jacinta Prunty (1999, 56-57), Margaret Aylward is considered to be the main author of these reports prior to her death in 1889. The reports are valuable little-known primary sources for the study of charity networks, poor relief, orphan statistics, childcare, foster care, and education in nineteenth-century Ireland. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On behalf of the Sisters of the Holy Faith Congregational Archives, this collection was digitised and curated by Helena La Pina (2020). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;References Prunty, J. (1999) &lt;em&gt;Margaret Aylward, 1810-89: Lady of Charity, Sister of Faith&lt;/em&gt;, Four Courts Press Ltd.</text>

                <text>Fortieth Annual Report of St. Brigid’s Orphanage (1896). It is submitted by the Sisters of the Holy Faith. The report opens with a historical overview of Margaret Aylward's arrival in Dublin and how she established a branch of the Ladies’ Association of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul for Relief to the Sick Poor. It also features her establishment of St. Brigid’s Orphanage and the Sisters of the Holy Faith Congregation. Aylward’s opinion that ‘corrupt Proselytism was pushed among the very poor Catholic families’ is stated, as are her concerns that poor Catholic children were admitted to Protestant institutions. Some notation is given to the names of females involved in the Ladies’ Association of Charity. The activities of Mrs. Scully, who secretly gathered information on Protestant institutions, is recognised. Particular warning is provided by Aylward and Scully as to who was attending Protestant day schools. This is accomplished by detailing ‘names and addresses of the children as they were leaving school’. It discusses why Saint Brigid was adopted as the saintly appellation for the orphanage. It notes how Aylward was initially refused permission to set up the orphanage by the Archbishop, Dr. Paul Cullen and his initial reticence but subsequent approval. The report mentions Ada Allingham, Aylward’s long-time assistant and her consequential involvement with the Ladies’ Association of Charity, St. Brigid’s Orphanage, and the Sisters of the Holy Faith. It details the rationale for developing a boarding-out (foster care) system in Ireland and mechanism used in providing payment for nurses (foster parents). The reasons for Margaret Aylward’s imprisonment in 1860 and the support she received from Dr Cullen, is specified. The report details many of the benefactors of the orphanage, naming prominent clergymen, and professionals. It notes that ‘during the early years Margaret Aylward made many excursions for the purpose of collecting funds, to various districts in Ireland and to France. Her success was trifling, if estimated by the amounts of cash received, but it was remarkable that those who promised subscriptions to the amount of one pound’. &#13;
It mentions the support of Archbishop Kirby, and Archbishop Cullen for their efforts in attaining indulgences from Pope Pius IX and Pope Leo XIII for people who supported and donated to St. Brigid’s Orphanage and the Sisters of the Holy Faith. A reprint of the letter to Miss Aylward from Tobias Kirby (Archbishop of Ephesus) in the Irish College (Rome) dated 02 November 1889, is displayed.&#13;
The report praises the continued work of Miss Aylward, despite her ill-health. It suggests that the decline of the Ladies’ of Charity was due to death or illness of benefactors. Therefore, there was a need to establish a religious order in order to manage the affairs of the orphanage and schools. The report details the origins of the Sisters of the Holy Faith.&#13;
The report details the number of orphans; reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; orphan apprenticeships; the schooling of orphans; and the rearing of orphans. It notes that admissions were for children at most danger of losing their Catholic Faith. Examples of orphan circumstances are depicted. Protocols for religious instruction and education in general is detailed. The benefits of the boarding-out (foster care) system is discussed; and premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) is noted. Acknowledgement of the guild associations and Mr. Steiner for their work in collecting donations, is observed.&#13;
The report then discusses the death of Rev. Father John Gowan in January 1897. It notes he had been working on the annual report prior to his death. It provides a Eulogy, with a report on his funeral and burial at Holy Faith Cemetery in Glasnevin. It offers an overview of Fr Gowan’s involvement, with St. Brigid’s Orphanage and the Holy Faith schools, and notes that Fr Gowan was ‘practically the founder of the Sisterhood of the Faith’.&#13;
The report discusses the work of the Holy Faith schools and that they were not in receipt of state aid. It notes its mission as the withdrawal of ‘children of the poor from proselytizing day-schools, where their faith was undermined’; and ‘to impart to the poor children a thoroughly Catholic education free from Government control, and subject in all things to the Pastors of the Church’. It provides statistics on attendance and of children who completed First Communion, and Confirmation.  It notes the appointment of Rev. John Maher, of St. Peter’s Church in Phibsboro, as the new director of ‘St. Brigid’s Works.’&#13;
A list of benefactors and donations to St. Brigid’s Orphanage and Holy Faith Schools is listed (including clergymen and guild associations). In the appendix is a letter of solicitation for support, donations, and subscriptions. Also, in the appendix is a description of assistance of the Sisters of the Holy Faith to the Society of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen Of Charity, in Little Strand Street; and an extract of a pamphlet published by his Lordship the Bishop of Southwark and kindly presented to St. Brigid’s Orphanage, titled ‘Practical Direction and Suggestions as to Appointed Testamentary Guardian.’ A final appendix provides an account of the life and work of Fr Gowan written by Francis MacEnerney.</text>

                  <text>This digital collection consists of a series of fifty annual reports of St. Brigid's Orphanage. Initially, from 1857 to 1860, the reports were delivered as part of the Annual Reports of the Ladies’ Association of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. Overall, the reports detail the number of orphans; the reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; the schooling of orphans; the rearing of orphans; and often note mortality rates and apprenticeships. Examples of orphan circumstances are often depicted. The reports describe the support and donations for the cause; noting the support of clergymen and several guild associations. The boarding-out (foster care) system is described throughout the reports along with premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) with explanations of how the payment system works. In general, the reports offer insights to the protocols for religious instruction and education. Most reports discuss Proselytism, and some reports provide information about Protestant institutions (orphanages, schools, etc.). According to Jacinta Prunty (1999, 56-57), Margaret Aylward is considered to be the main author of these reports prior to her death in 1889. The reports are valuable little-known primary sources for the study of charity networks, poor relief, orphan statistics, childcare, foster care, and education in nineteenth-century Ireland. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On behalf of the Sisters of the Holy Faith Congregational Archives, this collection was digitised and curated by Helena La Pina (2020). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;References Prunty, J.

                <text>Thirty-Ninth Annual Report of St. Brigid’s Orphanage (1895). It is submitted by the Sisters of the Holy Faith. The report details the number of orphans; reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; orphan apprenticeships; the schooling of orphans; and the rearing of orphans. It notes that admissions were for children at most danger of losing their Catholic Faith. Examples of orphan circumstances are depicted. Protocols for religious instruction and education in general is detailed. The benefits of the boarding-out (foster care) system is discussed; and premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) is noted. It thanks the guild associations, Mr. Steiner, and their work in collecting donations. The report discusses the work of the Holy Faith schools. It notes: ‘One of the most important duties of the Sisters in charge of the schools for the poor, is to withdraw Catholic children from the proselytizing schools, and to take away from others the temptation of going there’. It mentions the inability to provide a report on the work of Protestant institutions due to their documents being unavailable. It discusses the state of Proselytism. Holy Faith Schools are not in receipt of state aid. It provides statistics on attendance; and of children who completed First Communion, and Confirmation. It notes that most schools have an attached lending library. A list of benefactors and donations to St. Brigid’s Orphanage and Holy Faith Schools is listed (including clergymen and guild associations). In the appendix is a letter of solicitation for support, donations, and subscriptions. Also, in the appendix is a description of assistance of the Sisters of the Holy Faith to the Society of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen Of Charity, in Little Strand Street; and an extract of a pamphlet published by his Lordship the Bishop of Southwark and kindly presented to St. Brigid’s Orphanage, titled ‘Practical Direction and Suggestions as to Appointed Testamentary Guardian.’</text>

                  <text>This digital collection consists of a series of fifty annual reports of St. Brigid's Orphanage. Initially, from 1857 to 1860, the reports were delivered as part of the Annual Reports of the Ladies’ Association of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. Overall, the reports detail the number of orphans; the reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; the schooling of orphans; the rearing of orphans; and often note mortality rates and apprenticeships. Examples of orphan circumstances are often depicted. The reports describe the support and donations for the cause; noting the support of clergymen and several guild associations. The boarding-out (foster care) system is described throughout the reports along with premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) with explanations of how the payment system works. In general, the reports offer insights to the protocols for religious instruction and education. Most reports discuss Proselytism, and some reports provide information about Protestant institutions (orphanages, schools, etc.). According to Jacinta Prunty (1999, 56-57), Margaret Aylward is considered to be the main author of these reports prior to her death in 1889. The reports are valuable little-known primary sources for the study of charity networks, poor relief, orphan statistics, childcare, foster care, and education in nineteenth-century Ireland. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On behalf of the Sisters of the Holy Faith Congregational Archives, this collection was digitised and curated by Helena La Pina (2020). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;References Prunty, J.

                <text>Thirty-Eighth Annual Report of St. Brigid’s Orphanage (1894). It is submitted by the Sisters of the Holy Faith. The mission of the orphanage and schools is noted as: ‘first, the protection of the faith of Catholic children, and especially Orphan and destitute children, second, to render their faith intelligent by teaching them the Christian truths, and thirdly, making it active and lively by training them in the holy practices commanded or sanctioned by the Church’. The report details the number of orphans; reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; orphan apprenticeships; the schooling of orphans; and the rearing of orphans. It notes that admissions were for children in most danger of losing their Catholic faith. Examples of orphan circumstances are depicted. Protocols for religious instruction and education in general is detailed. The benefits of the boarding-out (foster care) system is discussed; and premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) is noted. It describes support and donations for the cause, noting the support of clergymen and several guild associations. It notes that some Protestants also donate to the cause. There is mention of an incident with a Protestant institution, and brief note on Proselytism. The report discusses the work of the Holy Faith schools. Holy Faith Schools are not in receipt of state aid. It provides statistics on attendance; and of children who completed First Communion, and Confirmation. It notes that most schools have an attached lending library. A list of benefactors and donations to St. Brigid’s Orphanage and Holy Faith Schools is listed (including clergymen and guild associations). In the appendix is a letter of solicitation for support, donations, and subscriptions. Also, in the appendix is a description of assistance of the Sisters of the Holy Faith to the Society of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen Of Charity, in Little Strand Street; and an extract of a pamphlet published by his Lordship the Bishop of Southwark and kindly presented to St. Brigid’s Orphanage, titled ‘Practical Direction and Suggestions as to Appointed Testamentary Guardian.’</text>

                  <text>This digital collection consists of a series of fifty annual reports of St. Brigid's Orphanage. Initially, from 1857 to 1860, the reports were delivered as part of the Annual Reports of the Ladies’ Association of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. Overall, the reports detail the number of orphans; the reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; the schooling of orphans; the rearing of orphans; and often note mortality rates and apprenticeships. Examples of orphan circumstances are often depicted. The reports describe the support and donations for the cause; noting the support of clergymen and several guild associations. The boarding-out (foster care) system is described throughout the reports along with premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) with explanations of how the payment system works. In general, the reports offer insights to the protocols for religious instruction and education. Most reports discuss Proselytism, and some reports provide information about Protestant institutions (orphanages, schools, etc.). According to Jacinta Prunty (1999, 56-57), Margaret Aylward is considered to be the main author of these reports prior to her death in 1889. The reports are valuable little-known primary sources for the study of charity networks, poor relief, orphan statistics, childcare, foster care, and education in nineteenth-century Ireland. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On behalf of the Sisters of the Holy Faith Congregational Archives, this collection was digitised and curated by Helena La Pina (2020). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;References Prunty, J. (1999) &lt;em&gt;Margaret Aylward, 1810-89: Lady of Charity, Sister of Faith&lt;/em&gt;, Four Courts Press Ltd.</text>

                <text>Thirty-Seventh Annual Report of St. Brigid’s Orphanage (1893). It is submitted by the Sisters of the Holy Faith. The report details the number of orphans; reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; orphan apprenticeships; the schooling of orphans; and the rearing of orphans. It notes that admissions were for children in most danger of losing their Catholic Faith. Examples of orphan circumstances are depicted, alongside parent testimonies. The boarding-out (foster care) system is discussed, and premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) is noted. Protocols for religious instruction and education in general is detailed. The report pays tribute to the work of the deceased Sister M. Frances Allingham in the orphanage. An example of a letter of bequeath is reprinted. It describes support and donations for the cause, noting the support of clergymen and several guild associations. It notes the death of some benefactors and beseeches their replacement with new benefactors. It notes that some Protestants also donate to the cause. The report discusses the work of the Holy Faith schools.  Holy Faith Schools are not in receipt of state aid. It provides statistics on attendance; and of children who completed First Communion, and Confirmation. It notes an article from the Freeman’s Journal indicating that the Sisters of the Holy Faith ‘willing to receive a just portion of the National Grant for education’ to which they claim is a mistake by the writer. It notes that most schools have an attached lending library. A list of benefactors and donations to St. Brigid’s Orphanage and Holy Faith Schools is listed (including clergymen and guild associations). In the appendix is a letter of solicitation for support, donations, and subscriptions. Also, in the appendix is a description of assistance of the Sisters of the Holy Faith to the Society of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen Of Charity, in Little Strand Street; and an extract of a pamphlet published by his Lordship the Bishop of Southwark and kindly presented to St. Brigid’s Orphanage, titled ‘Practical Direction and Suggestions as to Appointed Testamentary Guardian.’</text>

                  <text>This digital collection consists of a series of fifty annual reports of St. Brigid's Orphanage. Initially, from 1857 to 1860, the reports were delivered as part of the Annual Reports of the Ladies’ Association of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. Overall, the reports detail the number of orphans; the reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; the schooling of orphans; the rearing of orphans; and often note mortality rates and apprenticeships. Examples of orphan circumstances are often depicted. The reports describe the support and donations for the cause; noting the support of clergymen and several guild associations. The boarding-out (foster care) system is described throughout the reports along with premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) with explanations of how the payment system works. In general, the reports offer insights to the protocols for religious instruction and education. Most reports discuss Proselytism, and some reports provide information about Protestant institutions (orphanages, schools, etc.). According to Jacinta Prunty (1999, 56-57), Margaret Aylward is considered to be the main author of these reports prior to her death in 1889. The reports are valuable little-known primary sources for the study of charity networks, poor relief, orphan statistics, childcare, foster care, and education in nineteenth-century Ireland. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On behalf of the Sisters of the Holy Faith Congregational Archives, this collection was digitised and curated by Helena La Pina (2020). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;References Prunty, J.

                <text>Thirty-Sixth Annual Report of St. Brigid’s Orphanage (1892). It is submitted by the Sisters of the Holy Faith. The report details the number of orphans; reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; orphan apprenticeships; the schooling of orphans; and the rearing of orphans. Examples of orphan circumstances are depicted. The boarding-out (foster care) system is discussed, and premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) is noted. Protocols for religious instruction and education in general is detailed. It notes that admissions were for children at most danger of losing their Catholic Faith. It notes the purchase of a property in Co. Wicklow for the purpose of a convent and school for the Sisters of the Holy Faith. Thanks, is given to the guild associations and to John Joseph Steiner, a German who converted to Catholicism, and collects donations for the orphanage. The report discusses the work of the Holy Faith schools. Schools are not in receipt of state aid. It describes the rationale for the founding of schools to ‘counteract the proselytising day schools of Dublin’; and discusses the benefits of a Catholic education. It notes the work of a lending library. It provides statistics on attendance; and of children who completed First Communion, and Confirmation. A list of benefactors and donations to St. Brigid’s Orphanage and Holy Faith Schools is listed (including clergymen and guild associations). In the appendix is a letter of solicitation for support, donations, and subscriptions. Also, in the appendix is a description of assistance of the Sisters of the Holy Faith to the Society of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen Of Charity, in Little Strand Street; and an extract of a pamphlet published by his Lordship the Bishop of Southwark and kindly presented to St. Brigid’s Orphanage, titled ‘Practical Direction and Suggestions as to Appointed Testamentary Guardian.’</text>

                  <text>This digital collection consists of a series of fifty annual reports of St. Brigid's Orphanage. Initially, from 1857 to 1860, the reports were delivered as part of the Annual Reports of the Ladies’ Association of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. Overall, the reports detail the number of orphans; the reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; the schooling of orphans; the rearing of orphans; and often note mortality rates and apprenticeships. Examples of orphan circumstances are often depicted. The reports describe the support and donations for the cause; noting the support of clergymen and several guild associations. The boarding-out (foster care) system is described throughout the reports along with premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) with explanations of how the payment system works. In general, the reports offer insights to the protocols for religious instruction and education. Most reports discuss Proselytism, and some reports provide information about Protestant institutions (orphanages, schools, etc.). According to Jacinta Prunty (1999, 56-57), Margaret Aylward is considered to be the main author of these reports prior to her death in 1889. The reports are valuable little-known primary sources for the study of charity networks, poor relief, orphan statistics, childcare, foster care, and education in nineteenth-century Ireland. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On behalf of the Sisters of the Holy Faith Congregational Archives, this collection was digitised and curated by Helena La Pina (2020). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;References Prunty, J.

                <text>Thirty-Fifth Annual Report of St. Brigid’s Orphanage (1891). It is submitted by the Sisters of the Holy Faith. The report details the number of orphans; reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; orphan apprenticeships; the schooling of orphans; and the rearing of orphans. Examples of orphan circumstances are depicted. The boarding-out (foster care) system is discussed, and premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) is noted. Protocols for religious instruction and education in general is detailed. It notes that admissions were for children at most danger of losing their Faith. The support of the clergy and guilds associations is acknowledged. The report discusses the work of the Holy Faith schools. Schools are not in receipt of state aid. It discusses ‘heresy’ organisations offering free education. It provides statistics on attendance; and of children who completed First Communion, and Confirmation. A list of benefactors and donations to St. Brigid’s Orphanage and Holy Faith Schools is listed (including clergymen and guild associations). In the appendix is a letter of solicitation for support, donations, and subscriptions. Also, in the appendix is a description of assistance of the Sisters of the Holy Faith to the Society of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen Of Charity, in Little Strand Street, previously of Lower 65 Lower Jervis Street; and an extract of a pamphlet published by his Lordship the Bishop of Southwark and kindly presented to St. Brigid’s Orphanage, titled ‘Practical Direction and Suggestions as to Appointed Testamentary Guardian.’</text>

                  <text>This digital collection consists of a series of fifty annual reports of St. Brigid's Orphanage. Initially, from 1857 to 1860, the reports were delivered as part of the Annual Reports of the Ladies’ Association of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. Overall, the reports detail the number of orphans; the reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; the schooling of orphans; the rearing of orphans; and often note mortality rates and apprenticeships. Examples of orphan circumstances are often depicted. The reports describe the support and donations for the cause; noting the support of clergymen and several guild associations. The boarding-out (foster care) system is described throughout the reports along with premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) with explanations of how the payment system works. In general, the reports offer insights to the protocols for religious instruction and education. Most reports discuss Proselytism, and some reports provide information about Protestant institutions (orphanages, schools, etc.). According to Jacinta Prunty (1999, 56-57), Margaret Aylward is considered to be the main author of these reports prior to her death in 1889. The reports are valuable little-known primary sources for the study of charity networks, poor relief, orphan statistics, childcare, foster care, and education in nineteenth-century Ireland. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On behalf of the Sisters of the Holy Faith Congregational Archives, this collection was digitised and curated by Helena La Pina (2020). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;References Prunty, J.

                  <text>This digital collection consists of a series of fifty annual reports of St. Brigid's Orphanage. Initially, from 1857 to 1860, the reports were delivered as part of the Annual Reports of the Ladies’ Association of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. Overall, the reports detail the number of orphans; the reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; the schooling of orphans; the rearing of orphans; and often note mortality rates and apprenticeships. Examples of orphan circumstances are often depicted. The reports describe the support and donations for the cause; noting the support of clergymen and several guild associations. The boarding-out (foster care) system is described throughout the reports along with premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) with explanations of how the payment system works. In general, the reports offer insights to the protocols for religious instruction and education. Most reports discuss Proselytism, and some reports provide information about Protestant institutions (orphanages, schools, etc.). According to Jacinta Prunty (1999, 56-57), Margaret Aylward is considered to be the main author of these reports prior to her death in 1889. The reports are valuable little-known primary sources for the study of charity networks, poor relief, orphan statistics, childcare, foster care, and education in nineteenth-century Ireland. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On behalf of the Sisters of the Holy Faith Congregational Archives, this collection was digitised and curated by Helena La Pina (2020). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;References Prunty, J. (1999) &lt;em&gt;Margaret Aylward, 1810-89: Lady of Charity, Sister of Faith&lt;/em&gt;, Four Courts Press Ltd.</text>

                <text>Thirty-Third Annual Report of St. Brigid’s Orphanage (1889) (presented at Annual Meeting, March 1890). This report is delivered following the death of Margaret Aylward in 1889. The report describes the attendance of the Archbishop (William Joseph Walsh) at the meeting, at which a speech was delivered by Rev. Father John Gowan on the ‘Story of Miss Aylward’s Imprisonment’. It is noted that the children of the Holy Faith school in Coombe sang, and one pupil read an address of appreciation to the Archbishop. It is then noted that the Archbishop delivered a speech on the drawbacks of secular education in poor schools under the National Board, and the benefits of a Catholic education. It discusses issues on the use of religious icons in schools (with reference to the crucifix). The speech further describes the Powis Commission of 1870, and the Forgeries Commission of 1890. It contrasts conditions in the use of icons in both Protestant and Catholic schools in England. It notes the support of Mr. Sexton, M.P. in representing Catholic schools in Parliament. To end, while noting thanks to the foundress Margaret Aylward, the Archbishop also thanks Rev. Father John Gowan. Thereafter, it notes that Rev. Father John Gowan read the annual report, opening with a ‘profound expression of regret and loss of the head that planned the Orphanage, Miss Margaret Aylward’.&#13;
The report details the number of orphans; reunification of orphans with parents; orphan adoptions; orphan apprenticeships; the schooling of orphans; and the rearing of orphans. The boarding-out (foster care) system is discussed, and premiums paid to nurses (foster parents) is noted. Protocols for religious instruction and education in general is detailed. It thanks the support of the benefactors and guild associations. The report discusses the work of the Holy Faith schools. Schools are not in receipt of state aid. It provides statistics on attendance; and of children who completed First Communion, and Confirmation. It reminisces on Miss Aylward’s reasons for starting the schools, with reference to the attendance of poor Catholic children at Protestant poor schools. In doing so, it provides an extract from the Sixth Annual Report, whereby it notes the encouragement of the then Archbishop Paul Cullen to set up schools for the Catholic poor.&#13;
The report reprints a document found in Margaret Aylward’s desk upon her death; a letter from Rome, acknowledging the work of the Sisters of the Holy Faith. Also, there is a reprint of the speech by Rev. Father John Gowan on the history of the events leading up to the imprisonment of Margaret Aylward in Grangegorman Prison. &#13;
A list of benefactors and donations to St. Brigid’s Orphanage and Holy Faith Schools is listed (including clergymen and guild associations). In the appendix is a letter of solicitation for support, donations, and subscriptions. Also, in the appendix is an extract of a pamphlet published by his Lordship the Bishop of Southwark and kindly presented to St. Brigid’s Orphanage, titled ‘Practical Direction and Suggestions as to Appointed Testamentary Guardian.’</text>
