Scripture Reflection.

"Well done good and faithful servant you have shown you can be faithful in small things I will trust you with greater, come and join in your master's happiness."

Our Gospel this weekend speaks to us about the question of how we use the talents that God has given us.
Each of us has been given a talent or talents we may not be able at times to see what these talents are but, through our own personal prayer and reflection, God will help us to see them and then he will give us the strength to use them for the building of his Kingdom here on earth. A Kingdom of Faith, Hope and Love.

Faith: To believe in him, to see him in the sacraments, to hear him in the scriptures.

Hope: To hope one day that having used the talents he has given us, we will enjoy the Kingdom of Heaven.

Love: To love his people through encouraging them to use the talents he has given them.

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

Don't wait for six strong men to take you to church

Think About It.
If you or I wanted a word with a really important person it may take some time to arrange; it may not even be possible. Look at the power God has put into your hands. You can have a word anytime .... and for as long as you like. In fact, He is waiting right now, right where you are. In a very special way He is in the Tabernacle in church, ready to listen, to speak to your heart about the questions that concern you at the deepest level. Why not "waste" some time with Him this week, or better still this 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.

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 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.

My aunt Olga died recently and I have been asked to prepare some information for her obituary.

According to her birth certificate she was born on 6th July 1922 at COOLMAKEE which is near Farnanes. Her maiden name was HANNAH OLGA BARRY MURPHY and her parents were JOHN BARRY MURPHY and HANNAH nee DESMOND. I am told that Olga was sent away at the age of three to be adopted by her Aunt TIMS in Brighton i.e. in 1925/26, possibly after the death of her mother. I believe her only living brother and one sister are in Australia and there is a sister near Newcastle whom I am trying to contact.
However having found your web-site I thought it might be worth writing to ask if you can suggest any way I could find out something more about the family and the farm in Coolmakee.
Separately I also found a reference to a tomb in Kilcrea Abbey to JOHN BARRY MURPHY of Coolmakee who died on 17th October 1818 and which replaced an older one to DERMOD ROE MURPHY 1710 who is described in the Book of Sales of Forfeited Estates as "Darby Murphy, owner of the townlands of Coolmakee,Inniskersun (now Ryecourt), Knockshanavoe, Rathphelan and Ballinguilla." Would anyone know if there is any connection between the first Murphy on this tomb and Olga's family.
If there is any help or guidance you can give me I would be extremely grateful.
Yours Sincerely
Colin French
