Faith and Courage
Rick Hoyt is a quadriplegic who cannot speak. When he was born
doctors told the parents he'd be a vegetable, but they determined
that they would raise him like any other child. When he was 10
Rick's life changed dramatically. Engineers at Tuft's University
created a device that enabled him to communicate by computer.
His first words painstakingly typed out were, 'Go Bruins' (a Boston
ice-hockey team). That's when everybody realised he was a sports
fan.
After a long battle, Rick got into public school where he excelled.
Two years later he found out that there was a 5-kilometre fund-raising
race for a young athlete paralysed in an accident. Rick told his
father he wanted to participate. His Dad agreed to run and push
his son in a modified wheel chair. They crossed the finishing
line second to last. But that day 'Team Hoyt' was born! They got
a more sophisticated chair and the quadriplegic teenager and his
out-of-shape Dad began running together. In 1981 they ran their
first Boston Marathon. Since then they haven't missed one in 20
years.
Rick has since earned his degree and works at Boston University
helping design computer systems for people with disabilities.
As of March 2001, 'Team Hoyt' had completed a total of 731 races,
including 53 Marathons and 135 triathlons. What do we learn from
'Team Hoyt'?
(1) You don't have to live as a victim. (2) It's alright to acknowledge
your limitations as long as you build your life around your dreams.
(3) Focus on what you have, not what you don't. (4) Factor God
in - for with Him 'all things are possible'. (From the Word for
Today)

Give God what is right, not what is left.

Change of Sunday Mass Times
At last Wednesday's meeting the Parish Pastoral Council approved
the suggested change in the times of Sunday Masses. Beginning
on Sunday next, March 2nd. the Sunday Mass times will be as follows:
Canovee at 9 am.
Kilmurry at 10 am
Cloughduv at 11 am.
Saturday evening Masses are unchanged.
(This is a provisional arrangement, to be reviewed for the Winter
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.
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

Dear Sir:
I don't know
much about the area, but I'm told that I have a number
of relatives buried in Kilbonane Cememtery including
my great-grandparents Edmund Eager and Susan (Murphy)
Eager. According to people who have visited the Cemetery,
they are buried in a large area with four Yew trees
at the corners of the grave.
As I understand
it, the Eager family lived in Ballymalis and the surrounding
areas and Kilbonane was the family burial place.
I'd love any
information on the cemetery, its history, the surrounding
area, and the other Eagers buried at Kilbonane.Click

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

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.
