History

The Annual was started by Fr Senan OFM Cap, who continued as editor for many years. It contained articles (mainly in English but also in Irish) on a variety of subjects, poetry, cartoons, illustrations and photographs. It was printed by John English of Wexford.

The cover, featuring a Capuchin friar and a dog, was designed by Seán O'Sullivan. The chief artist for many years was Richard King. The cartoonist from 1942 to 1955 was Charles E. Kelly.[2]
