The Capuchin Annual was an Irish annual publication published every year in Dublin by the Capuchins from 1930 to 1977. The motto of the publication was Do chum Glóire Dé agus Onóra na hÉireann (For the Glory of God and the Honour of Ireland). Many articles were from an Irish nationalist perspective. [1]
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 (a young wolf), 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]
Among the many contributors over the years were:

The Vanguard Press was a United States publishing house established with a $100,000 grant from the left wing American Fund for Public Service, better known as the Garland Fund. Throughout the 1920s, Vanguard Press issued an array of books on radical topics, including studies of the Soviet Union, socialist theory, and politically oriented fiction by a range of writers. The press ultimately received a total of $155,000 from the Garland Fund, which separated itself and turned the press over to its publisher, James Henle. Henle became sole owner in February 1932.
The Annual frequently reflected a very strong nationalistic theme.
