Second Annual Report of St. Brigid’s Orphanage (1858) - in association with the Ladies’ Association of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul (presented at Annual Meeting, 18 November 1859). The report documents the origins of St. Brigid’s Orphanage and its organisation. It describes support and donations for the cause; noting the support of clergymen and several guild associations. It provides examples of cases of Proselytism amongst 'Catholic Orphans'; and examples of children being saved from ‘heresy’. It includes a poem titled 'St. Bridget's Orphan'. Examples of orphan circumstances are depicted. It details the number of orphans; the schooling of orphans; the boarding-out (foster care) system and premiums paid to nurses (foster parents). The operations of the Protestant Orphan Society are articulated. Several resolutions were printed in the Freeman's Journal and are reprinted in this report. A list of benefactors and donations to St. Brigid’s Orphanage is listed (including clergymen and guild associations). This report was also included as part of the Seventh Annual Report of the Ladies’ Association of Charity (1858).
