Sunday
Mass Times.
Some have asked for a 9 a.m. Sunday Mass. Others say that the
noon Mass is too late: "the day is gone by the time it's
over." The parish once had two 9 a.m. Masses and it's advocates
say it gives one a good long day, especially in the Summertime,
if you want to go to the seaside, travel on any journey or have
plenty of time to do anything one may wish. Even in the days of
hand-milking all were to the creamery in time to get to that Mass.
If like so many you look forward to that Sunday morning rest,
there is always that later Mass in the parish.
Whether we leave the times as they are, or if we change, it will
not suit everyone. The proposal is that we leave Saturday evening
as it is, and bring all three Masses on Sunday morning forward
one hour; i.e. Canovee at 9 a.m., Kilmurry at 10 a.m. and Cloughduv
at 11 a.m. This would seem to cause least disruption. In days
when most people have cars, and when they go to any Mass that
pleases them in any case, they would still have a great choice
- six Masses from 6.30 on Sat. evening to 11 a.m. on Sunday morning.
No church is too far from anybody serious about going to Mass.
It's becoming clearer that with the scarcity of priests that this
choice cannot last forever.
One other compelling reason is the fact that the present times
make it difficult for many young people to get to Mass on Sunday
morning. Thank God we have three GAA clubs in the parish that
provide healthy sport for our young people. Good and generous
volunteers give their time to training them. Cloughduv train their
under-age on Sat. morning. Many of the same players play football
with Kilmurry and Canovee. The young lads cannot train again on
Sat. evening; Sunday morning is the only option. With a change
of Mass times Kilmurry could train their under-age after the 10
a.m. Mass, and Canovee will have ample time after their 9 a.m.
Mass. And all, including Cloughduv, will have time to cook the
Sunday roast.
We welcome your input in writing. The matter will be fully discussed
and decided at a special meeting of the Parish Pastoral Council
on Wednesday, (19th.). Send your written ideas to Michael Barry,
the Council Chairman, or to any member, before the meeting, or
to Fr. O'Driscoll or myself. In making your decision I know you
will take the bigger picture into account. The proposal will be
on a trial basis for the Summer months.

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.
The One-Sentence Sermon:
Give God what is right, not what is left.

God
our Father, send workers into your harvest. May the Spirit we

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

My name is Mary McNamara
(Conroy) and I was born and raised in Farnanes, Co.Cork.
Ireland and even I have just now discovered your website
and would like to post a personal message in your
'EXILES' section.
I have never been in Kilmurry Parish since my family
home is located in the Farran parish, my family attended
school in Cloughduv and in Macroom and we all attended
mass in Cloughduv, so maybe I am an honorary member
of Kilmurry Parish. I am currently living in Toronto,
Canada and would love to be part of the Exiles Page??.
Mmy sister Breda and her
family live the parish at the Service Station in Beal
Na Blath. Please advise what steps I should follow
in order to post a message.
By the way, I
received a hard copy of your news letter from my old
friend and former neighbour Pat Corcoran at the Farnanes
Post Office. This is a great way to be in touch with
HOME.
I will wait to
hear from you, by the way your website is great.

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.
