Title A name given to the resource Annual Reports of St. Brigid's Orphanage (1857-1907) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1957-1907 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Sisters of the Holy Faith; St. Brigid's Orphanage Description An account of the resource 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. On behalf of the Sisters of the Holy Faith Congregational Archives, this collection was digitised and curated by Helena La Pina (2020). References Prunty, J.

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).

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.’ Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context HFA1-O-ES-F-33-SBO-AR36.pdf Aylward, Margaret (1810-1889) Benefactors Boarding-out system Education Holy Faith schools Nurses (foster parents) Orphan statistics Proselytism Sisters of the Holy Faith Society of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Charity St. Brigid's Orphanage
