Lenten
Reflection
'Repent and believe the Good News'
Now that the great season of Lent has begun the gospel text set
before us by St. Mark for our reflection on this First Sunday
of Lent has a very clear cut message.
1. To repent of our sins and to seek Gods forgiveness for our
human weaknesses that at times lead us away from God towards the
selfishness of life. This failing to see the needs of our families,
friends and the wider community of God. By virtue of our Baptism
we are all brothers and sisters in Christ who died to save us
all from sins and death. May we use the Lenten Season well to
examine our lives through prayer, confession, almsgiving and love
God and his people
2. To read and believe in the Good News that the gospel proclaims,
the word of God spoken by his son Jesus Christ a News that is
very liberating from the selfishness that plague our lives from
time to time. The gospel (Good News) of Jesus will help us to
live and lead good lives if we allow the message of Christ to
be part of our lives, then God will help each of us, living and
working together to fulfil our Baptismal calling to be true Christians
in our world.
May Jesus our Saviour walk with each of us this, his and our Holy
Season of Lent.
The One-Sentence
Sermon:
Give God what is right, not what is left.
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 God
A nun asked her class to write notes to God. Here's a sample.
Dear God, Instead of letting people die and having to make new
ones, why don't You keep the ones You already have?
Dear God, Maybe Cain and Abel would not have killed each other
if they had their own rooms. That's what my Mom did for me and
my brother.
Dear God, I bet it's very hard to love everyone in the whole world.
There are only four people in my family and I'm having a hard
time loving all of them.
Dear God, If You watch me in Church on Sunday I'll show You my
new shoes.

Cancer is so limited
It cannot cripple love.
It cannot shatter hope.
It cannot corrode faith.
It cannot kill friendship.
It cannot suppress memories.
It cannot silence outrage.
It cannot invade the soul.
It cannot steal eternal life.
It cannot conquer the spirit.
**************
This week I will try to find a time for quiet prayer early
in the morning while I am fresh. It can set the tone for my day.
**************
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.

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
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.
