Holy Ghost Missions Box

Holy Ghost Mission Boxes were first used in Ireland in the 1930s.

In the early 1950s they began to be distributed widely around the country, primarily to family-owned shops, chemists and pubs. In a sign of the times, mission boxes that served us so well for so long are now all but a thing of the past, due in part to the demise of many family-owned businesses and their replacement by chain stores, as well as competition for diminishing resources.

Sincere thanks to all who ever supported a Holy Ghost Mission Box!
