From the Pastor's Desk

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)





The One-Sentence Sermon:
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 here


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.
