  • The Marian Year Jubilee

    The Marian Year Jubilee

    The Marian Year Jubilee 1954 – 2004 Limerick’s contribution to a celebration of Faith Foreword The earliest apparition of the Blessed Virgin is said to be as early as 40 AD, probably before she died, to James the Apostle in Saragossa, Spain. There have been numerous apparitions since then, but the first in Ireland was on August 21st, 1879, in Knock, County Mayo. Margaret Beirne and thirteen others saw a beautiful woman, clothed in white gar- ments, wearing a large brilliant crown. County Mayo had suffered great distress in the 1870s. Partial famine, poverty and forced evictions had created another wave of Irish emigration. It was in this environment that the apparition occurred. The Church’s response to the apparition was typically circumspect. The Archbishop Most Rev. Dr. John MacHale set up a commission to gather testimonies of those claiming to see the apparition and then a record of purported cures was maintained until 1936. The Commission reported that their evidence was “trustworthy and satisfactory”. The Report was published in the newspapers and pilgrims began to travel from afar. One of the first organised pilgrimages to Knock Shrine came from Limerick. Further reports of cures to Limerick people strengthened the connection with Knock. On June 5th 1880 The Munster News reported the story of a woman from Shanagolden, County Limerick, “who arrived in Kilrush to take the steamer across the Shannon on her way home from Knock. Having lost her sight some years previously she had walked all the way to Knock with her young son and during her stay there, recovered her sight.

Nil File No. S.2050 FormB.S.M.2 Statement by Sean Meade, Fanningstown, Patrickswell, Co. Limerick. I was born in 1896 and came of farming stock. I joined the Volunteers at their inception in 1913 when Eoin MacNeill, Tom Kettle and a third man whose name I cannot remember, came to Ballylanders, Co. Limerick in that year and organised the Ballylanders Company. Tadg Crowley was appointed Company Captain. I was selected a Section Commander as was also Jack Crowley and Tom Murphy, both now deceased. The appointment then known as "Section Commander" probably corresponded to what later came to be titled Lieutenant". I was at the same time appointed to act as Company Adjutant. Ned Tobin was appointed Company Quartermaster. I retained my appointment as Adjutant until elected Captain after some arrests to which I shall refer in due course. Tom Murphy was killed by Crown Forces on New Year's day, 1921, during a raid on Mrs. Tobin's of Glenbrohane, Knocklong. Our Company took up the business of training with much enthusiasm and utilised every means at our disposal towards perfecting ourselves in the arts of war by availing of the services of vetern ex-British soldiers and shortly after the first World War commenced in 19l4, by British soldiers home on leave from the front.
