Pat Hoare www.aohmeck2.org PRESIDENT’S REPORT Brothers, It is hard to believe that the year 2009 is approaching its end. Since April of this year, the St Brendan the Navigator division has made good progress, both in membership and in coming together in our motto of, FRIENDSHIP, UNITY and TRUE CHRISTIAN CHARITY. I am looking forward to the new year since we can do nothing but grow and be a force in helping our Catholic church and our community. We will be very busy in the months ahead, what with our recruitment drive in February at St Mark’s and hopefully also at Holy Spirit in Denver and St Therese in Mooresville. I will be in contact with both of these parishes in the next few days and see if they can fit us in sometime also in February, St Patrick’s Day is approaching very fast and as you know, that is our day to shine and to celebrate the Patron Saint of our beloved Ireland. A reminder that we will not have a business meeting in December. In its place, we will gather at the Galway Hooker for a Christmas gathering. As most of you know, Msgr. Bellow has quadruple heart surgery on November 25th and he will be on mend for at least six weeks. We need to keep Fr. Bellow and Fr. Jones in our prayers. Nancy and I send our best wishes to each of you and your families for a very Blessed and Holy Christmas and also for a Happy, Holy and prosperous New Year. God Bless Joe Dougherty The next business meeting will be on Monday, January 11th at 7:30 PM and the next two social dinner meetings will be on Monday, November 30th at 6:30 PM, at the Galway Hooker and on December 14th, also at the same place and time. Irish Saints St. Finian of Clonard Feastday: December 12 St Finnian of Clonard ('Cluain Eraird'), or Finian, 'Fionáin' in Irish, (470 - 549) was one of the early Irish monastic saints. He founded Clonard Abbey in modern-day County Meath and the Twelve Apostles of Ireland studied under him. He might have been born at Myshall, County Carlow. At an early age he was supposedly placed under the care of St. Fortchern, by whose direction, it is said, he proceeded to Wales to perfect himself in holiness and sacred knowledge under the great saints of that country. After a long sojourn there, of thirty years according to the Salamanca MS., he returned to his native land and went about from place to place, preaching, teaching, and founding churches, most noticeably at Skellig Michael or Great Skellig eight miles off the coast of County Kerry, Ireland, which is a UNESCO World Hertitage Site. Finally, he was at last led by an angel to Cluain Eraird, which he was told would be the place of his resurrection. Here he built a little cell and a church of clay and wattle, which after some time gave way to a substantial stone structure, and entered on a life of study, mortification, and prayer. The fame of his learning and sanctity was soon noised abroad, and scholars of all ages flocked from every side to his monastic retreat—young laymen and clerics, abbots, and bishops. He is listed as a bishop, but it is possible that he was not consecrated in the office. St. Columba was one of his students, as he trained the “Twelve Apostles of Ireland” at Clonard. Please check the division web site often to keep up with what’s going on. www.aohmeck2.org A Bit of Irish History 521 - Birth of St. Columcille, Irish bard and monk honored in all the Celtic lands 1602 - The O’Sullivan Beara’s are driven out of West Cork by the English who had defeated the combined Spanish and Irish forces at the Battle of Kinsale.

O'Keefe is one of the few Irish surnames to retained its tenth century prefix 'O'. It is included in the list of the hundred most common surnames in Ireland. It's usual spelling is O'Keeffe in Ireland and O'Keefe in the United States. The O'Keefe Coat of Arms design can be found in Burke's General Armory. Heraldic artists developed their own unique language to describe an individual Coat of Arms. The Arms (shield) is described as follows: Vert. a lion ramp. or, in chief two dexter hands couped at the wrist erect and apaumee of the last. Above the shield and helmet is the Crest which is described as: A griffin pass. or, holding in the dexter claw a sword ppr. When translated the blazon also describes the original colors of the O'Keefe Arms and Crest as it appeared centuries ago. O'Keeffe, and Keeffe, are the anglicised versions of the Irish O'Caoimh, from caomh, meaning 'kind' or 'gentle'. The original Caomh from whom the family descend lived in the early eleventh century, and was a descendant of Art, King of Munster from 742 to 762. Originally the territory of the family lay along the banks of the Blackwater river in Cork, but the arrival of the Normans displaced them, like so many others, and they moved west into the barony of Duhallow, where their territory became known, and is still known, as Pobal O'Keeffe. The chiefs of the family retained power down to the eighteenth century, despite their involvement in the various rebellions, but were eventually dispossessed. Even today, Pobal O'Keeffe is still the area in which the name is most common, with surrounding areas of Co. Cork also including many of the name. It remains relatively rare outside that county. Nobel expert: Global warming causing Irish floods, climate change By PATRICK REYNOLDS IrishCentral.com Staff Writer Ireland's massive flooding has almost certainly been the result of climate change, says Nobel Prize-winner and Ireland's leading climatologist, Prof. John Sweeney. "We have reaped what we have sown," he said. Devastating floods have swept large parts of the country. Areas of the south and west of Ireland have been under water in the worst flooding in 800 years, according to experts.

  • 2019 Ireland Info Sheet
    Dear Fellow Pilgrim, Come to the land of Patrick. A land that enslaved him, but which Patrick set free from her pagan ways. Stand upon the Hill of Slane and look upon the land before you. It is from that hill that the Christian story of a race starts, when, upon it, Patrick lit a paschal fire. The sparks of this fire were never to die. Instead, from those flames the Catholic faith found its way to new lands and new continents as Irish pilgrims went out sowing in tears so that you could return to sing Psalms. Walk with us among Erin’s ancient lanes, through her ruined monasteries, past the sites where long ago were fought the battles that even today still resonate. You will see the scars of more recent conflicts upon the walls of the disputed North. Of course, you will taste the hospitality of the Irish, which is legendary. Eat and drink their fine foods and even better beers from a land that knows the value of a feast. Experience the “craic” – that indefinable Irish word for “a party,” but which is so much more than just that. History, culture, food and drink, breath-taking scenery: we will make trips to islands set in the swirling Atlantic, journey through city streets as their stories are told. All of this you would expect on a trip to Ireland. But this is an Inside the Vatican experience, so it is going to be different. We are not inviting you to come on “a tour.” Instead we are inviting you to come on pilgrimage.

  • We Are a Pilgrim People. We Are a People, Who Are Always Moving, Always Wanting More, Never Satisfied, Never Full and Never Finished
    We are a pilgrim people. We are a people, who are always moving, always wanting more, never satisfied, never full and never finished. We are a pilgrim people. Go back to the Garden, we were created with pilgrim hearts: hearts to know, hearts to love, hearts to seek and glorify the God who made us and walks with us. And that has not changed. Life this side of Eden may be far busier, far more distracting, incredibly more difficult and not nearly as beautiful BUT our hearts are still the same. And as St. Augustine so truthfully prayed: You have made us for yourself O Lord and our hearts are restless until they rest in you. We are a pilgrim people because we have hearts that will never rest; never be satisfied; never be complete until we find the God who is at the core of all we desire and seek through this life. And so we journey on, in our search. The problem is, most of us have forgotten who we are, a pilgrim people, or at the very least, defined “pilgrims” to be those who journey far, to offer their prayers in “traditionally” holy places. True, some of the largest assemblies of people around the world are indeed those of pilgrims. But what makes them “pilgrims” has very little to do with the destination of their journey or how far they travel from home but has all to do with that which they seek. Throughout the scriptures, God seems incessantly trying to remind his people of their pilgrim hearts and to call them back to the path that leads them home.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE 論 文> 中世スコットランドのピクト王国からアルバ王国の成立と ヴァイキングとの戦い Kingdom of Pictland to the Unified Kingdom of Alba and its Battle with Vikings in the Medieval Scotland 久保田 義 弘 要旨と目次 本稿では，９世紀から10世紀にかけてのスコットランドがピクト王国からアルバ王国への 発展・移行したこと，ならびに，その同時期におけるその周辺国の事情を概観する。特に， ピクト王国が後世になって〝Viking" と呼ばれている人々（民族）の侵攻に対峙し，その戦 いの結果，スコットランドの統一王国であるアルバ王国が形成された。また，ヴァイキング との戦いから，スコットランドと同時に，イングランドにおいては，ウェセックス王国がイ ングランド全体を治めるようになり，イングランド統一王国が形成された。さらに，周辺国 の事情では，特に，ヴァイキングとアイルランド王（上王：high king）との敵対，あるいは， 両者の共闘を通じて，ヴァイキングの果たした歴史的役割の一端を考察する。 本稿は，３節から構成され，第１節では，ピクト王国からアルバ王国への移行期となる９ 世紀中旬から９世紀末までの時代を概観する。その時代は，スコットランド王のケニス１世 からドナルド２世までの治世に対応する。第２節では，スコットランド王のコンスタンティ ン２世の治世とその周辺国の事情を概観する。同時に，特に，アイルランド王国の上王とヴァ イキングの対立あるいは共闘についても概観する。第３節では，資料を通して，ピクト王国 からアルバ王国に移行する時代は，コンスタンティン２世の治世に対応していることを概観 し，併せて，それを検証する。 キーワード：アルバ王国，ケニス１世，コンスタンティン２世，ヴァインキング，イー・イ ヴァール王朝 は じ め に 本稿では，９世紀から10世紀にかけてのスコットランドならびにその周辺国の事情を概観 する。特に，この時期には，スカンジナヴィア人は，〝Foreigners"，〝the Norse"，〝the Norsemen"， あるいは〝the Northmen" と呼ばれ，後世になって，〝Viking" と呼ばれた人々（民族）が ― ―1 中世スコットランドのピクト王国からアルバ王国の成立とヴァイキングとの戦い（久保田義弘) スコットランド，アイルランド，ならびに，イングランドの海岸および内陸に進攻・侵攻し てきたことに対し，スコットランドやアイルランドやイングランドの各王国は，時には，ヴァ イキングと敵対し，時には，それと共闘した。その結果，スコットランドの統一王国（アル バ王国）やウェセックスによるイングランドの統一王国が成立したといえるかもしれない。 そのアルバ王国は，ピクト王国によって培われたピクトの文化と伝統と，ダル・リアダ王国 のゲール文化の伝統の融合の上に築かれた王国であった，と推測される。この王国の創設者 は，ケニス１世（Cinaed mac Ailpinあるいは Kenneth MacAlpinあるいは Kenneth I）（在 位 843年？-858年）であったと思われるが，その確立者は，コンスタンティン２世（Constantine II，あるいは，Constantın mac ́Aeda）（在位900年-943年 ？）であった。また，ヴァイキン グとアイルランド王との戦いから，ヴァイキングの果たした効果や影響についても考察する。
