Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ireland and Her People, Vol. 2: A Library of Irish Biography Theobald Mathew, D.D., apostle of temperance, was the fourth son of James Mathew and his wife Anne, daughter of George Whyte. The father acted as agent for his kinsman, the first Lord Llandaff, and resided at the family seat, Thomastown Castle, near Cashel, where Theobald was born October 10, 1790.The boy was deeply religious, and at an early age resolved to become a priest. He was first sent to the Catholic Academy at Kilkenny, whence he passed in 1807 to the College of Maynooth. He left, after a short stay, to join the small convent of Franciscans of the Capuchin order or gray friars in Dublin, and having passed through the usual novitiate was ordained by Archbishop Murray in 1814. The Irish Franciscans had suffered heavily in the penal times, and the order in the beginning of the century was represented by a few priests scattered through the towns of Catholic Ireland. The special mission of the followers of St. Francis is to minister to the needs of the poor. Shortly after he was ordained, Father Mathew was sent to Cork to take charge of a small chapel known as the "Little Friary." The church was hidden away among narrow lanes, the congregation was small and very poor, there was no endowment, and the accommodation for the oriest in charge was of the humblest description, The poverty of the city and surrounding country was deplorable.
