He briefly took charge of the Mission in 1929. Seemingly he was a popular friar with parishioners and a local newspaper in Santa Barbara referred to him as a ‘true son of the Seraphic Francis’. Fr. Reginald returned to Ireland in 1934. He was initially assigned to Holy Trinity Friary in Cork but was later transferred to the Church Street community in Dublin. Aside from preaching, one of his principal ministries was the writing of short devotional booklets published by the Catholic Truth Society of Ireland (CTSI).

Charles McCafferty was born in Derry city on 24 May 1888. He joined the Capuchin Franciscan Order (taking Bonaventure as his religious name) in Kilkenny in April 1912. He was solemnly professed as a Capuchin friar in September 1918. For the next thirty-six years he resided at the Seraphic College in Rochestown in County Cork. His primary responsibility was the management of the kitchen serving both the staff and students in the college. His time in Rochestown is notable for the assistance he gave to Captain Robert Monteith (1879-1956), the soldier and Irish nationalist, who had accompanied Roger Casement in his ill-fated attempt to land at Banna Strand in County Kerry in April 1916. Montieth was nursed through malaria by Br. Bonaventure and other Capuchin friars at Rochestown, before travelling back to his family in New York in December 1916, working in disguise as a fireman and coal trimmer on a merchant vessel. An account of this episode reads as follows:

‘Monteith was nursed by a Derryman, Br. Bonaventure [McCafferty OFM Cap.], who filled the role of both cook and guest-master. In both capacities Br. Bonaventure was excellent; blessed with a true Franciscan spirit of fraternity he was kindly, caring, and jovial. Under his care, Captain Monteith regained strength and when he was well enough to go out in the grounds, he was schooled in the basics of Capuchin behaviour – in so far as externals were concerned at any rate – because there was always the fear of a sudden raid by the British army. Dressed in a Capuchin habit, wearing a beard, and correctly holding a breviary he could hardly be distinguished from the ordinary religious. In case of suspicion, care was taken to include him on the ordinary list of the community. When completely fit and well he left Rochestown and enlisted under a false name as a fireman on the liner, ‘Adriatic’, bound for America. When the ship docked in New York he “jumped off” and made his way home to his family on Third Avenue, 116 Street, just before Christmas 1916’.

In 1949 Br. Bonaventure was assigned to the Church Street Friary in Dublin. He was plagued with ill-health in his later years and died in the friary on 5 September 1962. He was buried in the Capuchin plot in Glasnevin Cemetery.

Upon his arrival in South Africa, he was put in charge of the mission at Matroosfontein, a multiracial residential area just outside Cape Town. After his sojourn in Livingstone, he returned to Matroosfontenin where he served as parish priest until 1963. He then became parish priest at St. Mary of the Angels Parish in Athlone, another suburb of Cape Town. He remained here until 1968.

In his twenty-five years in Matroosfontein, Fr. Marcellus succeeded in building up a thriving parish and he was well-known for giving numerous missions and retreats throughout South Africa. He was plagued by ill-health in his later years, but he continued to minister in the Cape Town mission until his death on 18 November 1980.
