Parish
Announcements
Christmas Penitential Service:
Conscious of our sinfulness it has long been the custom to prepare
ourselves to welcome the Lord by going to Confession for Christmas.
In recent years that takes the form of availing of the parish
Penitential Service. We bring in extra priests as we will be doing
in Kilmurry Church this coming Wednesday, Dec. 18, at 8 p.m.
Fr. Seamus Murphy's Presentation Money:
As you know his family wished that the money be given to the parish
to provide vestments and altar requisites for each of the three
Churches. We have already blessed and shown the various articles
acquired in both Cloughduv and Canovee Churches. This weekend
we will be blessing them in Kilmurry. We are very grateful to
the family. It enabled us to acquire things we needed. We know
that as you see these articles used in Church you will remember
Fr. Murphy in your prayers.
Lectio Divina
Each Monday night at 7:00 pm in Fr. O'Driscoll's house you are
welcome to prayerfully reflect on the coming weekend's readings,
and to drink some of his tea. For those who cannot attend the
Prayer meeting but might like to read the Gospel for next Sunday
and the commentry on the Gospel, these handouts will be available
from Tuesday morning on in Sheila's Shop Kilmurry village.

During
the week I had a letter from my sister, Sr. Kathleen, in Nairobi,
Kenya. Amongst other things she expressed her gratitude for receiving
some money some people had given me for her medical work among
the poor. I quote: "It is great to be able to get medicine
and food for those who are in such need. It is such a relief for
me to visit someone who is helpless in bed and in great pain,
to be able to ease that pain and help the person get some rest.
That is duplicated so many times over as I visit."
The scene is a slum on the outskirts of
Nairobi, with over a million people, the largest in East Africa.
These poor people come in from the country, forced by poverty
and hunger, in the hope of doing better in the big city. Generally,
it simply brings new problems. The situation is similar to our
Cork parishes in Peru and Ecuador.
As we near Christmas we
remember that Christ came to bring peace and a promise of a better
world. How is it as we look around us to-day that violence and
poverty are still pervasive? Could it be that in the celebration
of his coming into the world his message is ignored by so many.
Has Christmas become a time for selfish enjoyment, with not enough
thought being given to the need around us?
I once knew a lady who whenever she gave
herself a treat she gave an equivalent amount to some deserving
cause. Could we this year broaden our charity beyond ourselves,
our families and friends? We can help those far away by giving
money to the charity. We can give of ourselves too by looking
around us and giving of our time and ourselves to brighten the
Christmas of somebody less fortunate. Little things can mean a
lot! Perhaps the real joy of Christmas is in the giving. It is
in giving that we receive!
It can be a lonely time for emigrants. Do get in touch.

Think About It
Don't let your parents down,
they brought you up.
Be humble enough to obey,
You may give orders some day.
Chose your companions with care,
You become what they are.
Guard your thoughts, what you think
Is what you are.
Be master of your habits
or they will master you.
Pay attention when you drive,
Drive safely and arrive.
Resist pressure, stand up,
Or you'll fall for anything.
Keep God in your life,
He is always there for you.
Prayer
for Vocations
God
our Father, send workers into your harvest. May the Spirit we
received in Baptism touch the hearts of many to offer themselves
in priesthood, religious life, and other forms of service. Give
the parents and families of our parish, the wisdom and courage
to support young people, in searching for and following the call
of God in their lives
The One-Sentence Sermon:
Give God what is right, not what is left.

My Great Great
Grandparents John Long who married Mary Davenport, were
from Kilmurry. They had 4 children that I know of, two
of whom Peter Long and Denis Long were born in 1844
and 1846 respectively. I am presuming therefore that
John and Mary would have been born in the period 1800/1810
approx. I don't have dates of birth for their two other
sons Jack Long who married a Hannah Linehan in 1871
and Jeremiah Long who remained unmarried.
I know that Denis Long married Abbey(Gobnait) Sullivan
on the 31 July 1869 in Cloghduve. (This is my line).
Gobnait is supposed to be from Lissarda and was the
daughter of Thomas (Thomas Rua) Sullivan and Mary Connor.
Gobnait was baptised Abigail and she was born on the
25 November 1848 and she is reputed to have had 3 brothers
Jeremiah, John and James and 1 sister. Denis Long was
living in Kilcondy at the time of his marriage to Abbey.
I am wondering whether perhaps it might be possible
for me to establish any information about John Long
and Mary Davenport from your Church records. Any help
and assistance which you can give me in this regard
would be very much appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
Sean Long
Dear All,
Congratulations on an excellent Website. This is my
first visit and I certainly will be re-visiting.
Now to the purpose of my email. I recently visited Kilmurry
searching for the grave of my grandfather and his people,
but to no avail. They lived in the townland of Castlemore
and despite of our best efforts we found nothing. However
talking to some locals and others since I understand
that Fr Tim O Sullivan of Cloughduv is putting the parish
records on CD. I would be very interested in this when
it is available. Perhaps you could advise me on the
progress of this project.
For the record this is my family history in regards
to Castlemore:
My grandfather, Timothy Sullivan was born in Castlemore
in 1854. We don't know when but he moved to Cork City
where he became an agent for the Prudential Insurance
Company.His first wife, Annie died in 1898. I know nothing
more about her as the only evidence is her death certificate.
He maried his second wife, Hanna Coleman, in 1899. She
was from Glanmire and she was my grandmother.
Timothy died on the 10 May 1927 and the newspaper notice
says that he was buried at 'South Kilmurry' Hence my
searching the local cemetaries.
To fill in the picture the following is the other information
that I have:
Timothy's father was a Patrick Sullivan, born about
1819. His wife's name was Hannah-surname unknown.
In Griffiths Valuation for 1852 his address is given
as Castlemore, parish of Moviddy. He had a house in
fee from Richard T Rye. There were two children that
I know of Timothy, my grandfather, and Daniel, born
1863.
Finally he is shown in the 1901 census at the same address,
with his wife. It states that he is a retired quarryman
and that he is blind.He does not appear in the 1911
census.
I would be grateful if any of your site viewers and
others can add to my information on my Kilmurry connections.
In the meantime I look forward to the CD.
Keep up the good work.
Yours truly
Frank Nash

Dear Sirs:
I am in the process of trying to locate the exact
place in County Cork from which my Buckley ancestors
emigrated to the United States in 1836. On Murthey
Buckley's tombstone is written: "a native of
Ireland, county of Cork, parrish of Conway."
Several years ago, a genealogist in Dublin led us
to believe that "Conway" is the old name
for "Convamore," an estate which lies adjacent
to Ballyhooly. However, Irish researcher Tom O'Leary
recently found information which indicates that "Conway"
is probably a mis-spelling of "Cannaway,"
a civil parish within the Catholic parish of Kilmurry.
So now I am concentrating on Kilmurry, and I find
that at least one Buckley family currently lives in
that village. I would very much like to contact them
and wonder whether you could provide me with their
address. Perhaps they would know of a Murthey and
Catherine Buckley, with young son John Franklin, who
left County Cork in 1836.
Any assistance you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

A
recent posting on your website, "Thomas Desmond
was born in Parish Canavee" is of interest to
me. My great-great grandfather, Thomas Desmond [son
of Patrick Desmond and Hanora Lyons Desmond] is said
to have been born in Parish Canavaa.
Can you tell me where that parish is? He was born
perhaps as early as 1810. John and Patrick Desmond
may have been his brothers, or relatives. Thomas emigrated
to Canada about 1840 and then to the U.S. Any help
you can give me in tracing either the Desmond or Lyons
families will be greatly appreciated.
