Personal
Prayer - Pathway To Joy
Yesterday was St. Brigid's Day, the first of Spring. In the USA
you dare not mention the word just yet. It arrives much later.
Have you noticed the signs of resurrection, the daffodils bravely
peeping through. Nature is giving us a message.
It's a time for renewal - for new beginnings. Pope John Paul tells
us that "now is the time for presenting, with fresh enthusiasm
and new methods, the eternal and unchanging content of the heritage
of our Christian faith - a time for a personal and profound meeting
with the Saviour".
Our God is a God of love. He invites us into a very personal relationship.
He knocks at the door of the human heart. He will not force an
entry. He has given us free will and he respects that. To nourish
this relationship it means daily time for prayer, as well as the
grace received in the Eucharist. When He first promised to give
us his Body and Blood he made it clear: "unless you eat the
flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood you will not have
life in you".
Lent will soon be with us. How long is it since you really prayed
in a personal way? If we are serious we will dedicate a definite
time each day to be alone with God. He told us: "go into
your room, close the door and pray". It helps to find a quiet
spot and regular time. It demands discipline.
1. Real prayer is a dialogue, not a monologue. We must listen
to God humbly. He is the more important partner in prayer.
2. Use Scripture. It helps us to hear God. Ask the Holy Spirit
to help.
3. Use the Our Father and any other prayers you know.
4. Times of prayer should include Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving
and Supplication. (asking)
If God is inviting you into a closer relationship why not accept!
"It is possible to offer fervent prayer even while
walking in public or strolling alone, seated in your shop, while
buying or selling or even cooking". (St. John Chryostom)

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.
