Charting a Future with Confidence Moving on with Confidence
Charting a Future with Confidence Moving on with Confidence Foreword As a young person nurtured in faith, and growing up in these United Dioceses of Cork, Cloyne and Ross I, and many others, used to canoe on the Owenabue River, from Drake’s Pool to Crosshaven or Currabinny. We were brought up all those years ago on the folklore that Sir Francis Drake, the great Elizabethan sea captain, had, allegedly, sailed up that river to evade the Spanish Armada, and had hidden at the point in the river that now bears his name. It was he who, in 1587, when Bishop William Lyon was the first Reformation Bishop of the Diocese, wrote to Queen Elizabeth I’s Private Secretary, Sir Francis Walsingham, and said: There must be a beginning of any great matter, but the continuing until it be thoroughly finished yields the true glory. All these centuries on, these words are true of many enterprises, and for us now here, in relation to Charting a Future with Confidence. When the idea was put forward it was always clear that it would not be an instant recipe or a magic wand, but rather, that it is a process. This report, completed after consultation, prayerful reflection, research and discussion, is now presented to you at this stage of this continuing process. The call to each of you in the Diocese is to engage with it now and to move forward with the process of charting, under God, a confident future here. We need everyone to do this in equal measure. Already new phases of this strategy are under way. -
Who Was Who in Medieval Limerick; from Manuscript Sources
Who Was Who in Medieval Limerick; from Manuscript Sources. (updated 22/01/2012) by Brian Hodkinson, Assistant Curator, Limerick Museum ©. (Changes since first uploaded to be found as an appendix) The following list is compiled for my own personal research into medieval Limerick and is offered in the knowledge that it is not perfect. I hope it can be used as a tool to kick start research into various aspects of medieval Limerick. The list is compiled mostly from indexes to calendared documents, looking up all references under “Limerick” or in the case of CJR the locations at the side of the text. Lenihan’s mayoral list has been avoided because it was compiled at a later date and cannot, for the medieval period, be shown to be authentic. In many cases, such as the papal documents, it is highly probable that there are extra references to individuals who started or ended their career outside Limerick. Some people are known to have played a part on the wider national stage, but only Limerick references are listed here. Bishops are listed in chronological order under Limerick. Where I have anglicised names, I have often put the original spelling in brackets afterwards, variant spellings are treated likewise, so it is worth using “find on page” facility. All “sons of” are listed under Fitz. Given the vagaries of medieval spelling it is highly likely that the same person may be entered twice. The list is there to be improved so if you spot errors, have reasonable grounds to combine entries or have extra references then please let me know at [email protected] If you pursue the career of someone in the list outside Limerick, then references in the same format can be added. -
General Synod in 2018 and the Text of This Bill Was Agreed by Both in February 2018
BILL NO. 5 Explanatory Memorandum Background The Parochial Select Vestry of the Cathedral parish of St Fin Barre, Cork drew up a three-year Strategic Plan in 2015 which included a proposal to assess the governance structures of St Fin Barre’s Cathedral (the Cathedral). The result of discussions arising from the Strategic Plan concluded that a parochial structure centred on a Select Vestry is no longer sufficient to govern an institution of the magnitude of the Cathedral. Whilst the Vestry is well equipped to deal with routine maintenance and operational matters, much of the administration and larger project management and planning is too dependent on the Dean, a small number of voluntary officers and one part-time administrator. A sub-committee of the Select Vestry and of Chapter members worked on proposals for governance reform over a seven month period in 2016 and conducted extensive research as to what models are in operation in other cathedrals in Ireland and abroad. This is the first such exercise to take place in Cork since 1972. Process A new model of governance based on the ‘representative model’ similar to school boards of management was presented to two consecutive meetings of the Cathedral Select Vestry (The Parochial Select Vestry and Chapter meeting together under Chapter VII of the Constitution) in January 2017 and unanimous agreement was reached on the sub-committee’s proposals. The intention is to retain the Parochial Select Vestry which remains the most effective way to manage the day-to-day running of the Cathedral and to put in place a Cathedral Board alongside it to manage the broader range of management issues such as conservation and restoration of the Cathedral, employment and policy matters, legal issues and regulatory compliance, large-scale fundraising, and long term strategic planning for the Cathedral’s mission and ministry. -

LIMITED. PREFATORY NOTE. iiST'T'jf.O An attempt has been made in the following pages to put on record what can be discovered concerning the descendants of two Irish families which became allied in 1737 by the marriage of the Rev. Andrew Nixon with Mariaime French. The various families detailed on pp. 83-127, are descended from that marriage. The PubHc Record Office contains evidence of the existence of many other persons of the names of French and Nixon, who, from the localities in which they lived, were very probably of the same stock, but as no proof of their relationship has been forthcoming, as a rule they have not been mentioned in the book. It has been found necessary to condense the work as much as possible, and to leave out some biographical details which might have been inserted. I have tried in most instances to give chiefly those which come from unfamiliar sources. The evidence for the earlier generations in the 17th and 18th centuries is in almost every case clear and complete. -
The Clergy of Cork, Cloyne and Ross During the Tudor Reformations
The clergy of Cork, Cloyne and Ross during the Tudor reformations Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy February 2015 Michael Whitman University of Liverpool 2015 1 Abstract Michael Whitman, PhD Thesis, The clergy of Cork, Cloyne and Ross during the Tudor reformations This thesis challenges existing diocesan histories of Cork, Cloyne and Ross. Its local focus provides an invaluable opportunity to explore the successes and failures of the reformations in the region. The arguments are split into four chapters, which are divided between the upper and lower clerical orders, the secular and religious clergy, both before and during the eras of the Tudor reformations. The argument uses antiquarian sources, Irish annals and English state papers to narrate the formation of diocesan, parochial and monastic structures in the region. The quality of each is then assessed for both the late medieval and reformations periods, with direct reference to the effects of the peculiarities of Co. Cork’s religion upon the progress of reform. The thesis argues that the secular elites of Cork, Cloyne and Ross were intrinsically wedded to its church, involved heavily in the creation of the parish and monastic networks. Following the contraction of the crown polity in the medieval periods, local families took on increasing levels of influence. During the Tudor period, the crown sought to expand its power in the region. However, the agents of reform failed to engage with the Irish and Anglo-Norman elites. Instead, their work would be accomplished at the expense of the traditional political and religious structures. -
United Secular Education
DECLARATION IN FAVOUR OF UNITED SECULAR EDUCATION IN IRELAND MEMBERS OF THE UNITED CHURCH OF ENGLAND AND IRELAND : Sèlttij % last of fbe Signature. DUBLIN : HODGES, SMITH, AND CO., 104, GRAFTON-STREET, PUBLISHERS TO THE UNIVERSITY. 1866. DUBLIN: ÿ víntctf at tl)c ©nífccrsítn ^prtBs, b y m . n . J i l l . PKEFACE. The following Resolutions and Declaration sufficiently explain themselves. But in publishing the names of those who have signed the Declaration, the Secretaries feel that some explanation is necessary to enable the public to estimate the representative character of the list. The number of signatures might have been almost indefinitely increased if it had been possible to so licit them generally, in the manner usually adopted with Parliamentary Petitions.- Such a plan, however, would have required considerable time, and a more extensive organization than the Secretaries could com mand. It was thought better to send the Declaration to those persons only whose names were easily ac cessible through public lists. It was sent accordingly to all the Justices of the Peace, who were known to be members of the United Church of England and Ireland ; to all the Clergy ; and to many leading IV PREFACE. members of the Bar, of the Medical Profession, and of the Chambers of Commerce in Dublin, Belfast, and Cork. To those classes the great majority, of the follow ing names belong. An analysis of the Signatures, made with as much care as the circumstances per mitted, is annexed.

New Collection Catalogue Irish College Rome
Archival list The New Collection Catalogue Irish College Rome PART THREE Kirby Series (1872‐1895 and undated) Appendices Bibliography ARCHIVES PONTIFICAL IRISH COLLEGE, ROME Code / Level Title / Date / Description Lang. / Extent KIR/NC/1/1871/54 Holograph letter from Cardinal Cullen to Dr. Kirby Item 21 December 1871 Eng. 4pp Cullen has received word of Dr. Moran's appointment- he has now lost the very faithful and useful Dr. Murray, Dr. Conroy and Dr. Moran. He has sent the form of suspension that was sent to Fr O'Keeffe. He describes O'Keeffe's refusal to accept the letter containing the suspension, the announcement of the suspension in a church in Callan and the attorney's letter threatening proceedings for defamation. O'Keeffe has continued to act as if not suspended and deludes the poor people by stating that he is appealing to the Pope. He has also published a letter of the late Dr. O'Hanlon in his favour. Cullen has interdicted his church but does not know what effect this will have as he has the support of half of Callan and others from Cashel and Waterford. Perhaps he wishes to serve his writ on Christmas Eve as he did to Dr. Walshe. The education meeting will be held on the 16th of January. Small pox and typhoid fever are prevalent in the city. Mr Walsh, the bank manager in Nenagh and a relative to Dr. Moran, was mortally wounded by a robber- rascals who return from America are often the perpetrators of these crimes. He reminds Fr Maher to find the address as the Ladies' of Ireland will rebel against him. -

In the case of the papal documents, it is highly probable that there are extra references to individuals who started or ended their career outside the Limerick diocese. The list is idiosynchratic in that while it contains (I hope) every name in the county in the papal registers, not every name in the Black Book of Limerick is included because some individuals probably had nothing to do with the city. Some people are known to have played a part on the wider national stage, but only Limerick references are listed here. Bishops are listed in chronological order under Limerick. Given the vagaries of medieval spelling it is likely that the same person may be entered twice. The list is there to be improved so if you spot errors, have reasonable grounds to combine entries or have extra references then please let me know at [email protected] The cut off date is roughly 1500, but some later sources are quoted, especially the CPR which runs to 1521. -
