viii who are engaged in active duties, such as the care of the sick, or the instruction of the children of the rich and poor, the people of Cork have the blessing of a new foundation of Carmelite nuns. Like the holy house of Nazareth, they, under the protection of the Blessed Virgin and St. Joseph, guard in their little chapel the infant Jesus. They spend their lives in returning thanks to God in the most Holy Sacrament. By their care this book is published, that devotion to St. Cajetan may be spread in this city. By their prayers, they promote the spirit he promoted.

Their chapel is open to the public, where from the noise of the world the faithful may come into the presence of Jesus exposed to their adoration in the most Holy Sacrament. The profits arising from the sale of this book will be devoted to helping them in their pious undertaking. They take this opportunity of thanking the Catholics of Cork for the uniform support, and the many acts of kindness received since their coming amongst them, and above all for the kind interest shown in their welfare by his Lordship, the Right Rev. Dr. Delany, who has gladly given his approbation to this book.
