NEW BEGINNINGS/THE CAPUCHIN

New Beginnings was a quarterly magazine published by the Irish Province of the Capuchins to serve as a link between the Order and the public whom we serve in our churches and elsewhere. I became its editor in October 1999 with Issue No.3. I found it difficult to persuade friars to write for it, and was sometimes compelled by necessity to write almost the entire issue myself! So, in writing on environmental issues, I used a pseudonym, “Peter McCarthy”. Nos. 8, 10, 13, 16, 17 and 32 below were written by me under this name.
