Parish of Kilmovee Church of the St. Celsus’ Church, Immaculate Kilkelly “A family of families” Conception, Kilmovee St. Patrick’s Church, St. Joseph’s Church Glann Urlaur MISSION STATEMENT he Parish of Kilmovee is a Christian Community, committed to making everyone welcome through meeting in liturgy, prayer and friendship as we bear witness to the love and Tcompassion of Jesus Christ. Fáilte roimh gach éinne. 18th August 2019 20th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME LOST AND FOUND he gospel at Mass on Tuesday last was about the shepherd with one hundred sheep, losing one and searching for it until he found it. The image presented was of a man, happy with the find and T pleased to restore the sheep to the flock. It is said that the shepherd can identify each sheep - the Lord would say, by name and Pope Francis often reminds bishops and priests that they should know “the smell of the sheep” - in other words, know their people. There is something important being said in that; something about knowing the lives of the people among whom we live. In thinking about that gospel I had an image of a field filled with things and people that are important to us. Maybe family, health, friendship, love, faith, peace, joy, strength and so much more. Imagine something going missing from that field. For example friendship with someone. The shepherd in all of us is asked to leave the field and search for what is missing. This may well mean leaving the other gifts behind in the field so that the searching may be done. It is a necessary search and one that we must be willing to spend time at. When the finding takes place - we can return to the field, in the sure knowledge that the flock is once again complete. We will have every reason to rejoice and be grateful. kilmoveeparish.org @kilmoveeparish KILMOVEE CLASSES Kylemore Abbey on: 095 52011, We are currently taking bookings for Email: [email protected] people who are interested in two Adult Educational classes starting CATHOLIC CONFERENCE in September.

He died almost nine years ago, R.I.P., but this weekend, had T he lived, he’d celebrate his 100th Birthday. I hope you don’t mind me remembering him in this space! I remember him today, and always will, as a good and hardworking man who did his very best for all of us. So many times, I felt proud of him when people would say to me “Are you anything to Bill Sherlock?” and I’d proudly say: “He’s my father.” The day I was ordained, he spoke a few - very few words: “Bill is not a man for many words”, he said, but among the few he spoke that day were words I will never forget—”this is my happiest day ever.” There is something very powerful in feeling you have pleased your father and I’m glad I had the chance to do that. He never failed to support me - any of us, but my brothers were more skilled than I in so many ways and many of the jobs they could do for themselves, he did for me without cost or compliment.

    The Famine in Mayo 1845-1850

    The Famine in Mayo 1845-1850 A Mayo County Library Exhibition 1 Charles Edward Trevelyan, Assistant Secretary to the Treasury directed government relief measures during the famine, meticulously scrutinising all expenditure The Famine in Mayo 1845 - 1850 The Great Famine was one of the defining moments of Irish history. It marked a watershed in the history of the country causing a change so complete in the Irish social and economic fabric, that the people’s sensibilities would never be the same again. No longer could the Irish people trust to the land to provide constant sustenance. No longer could they rely on whatever security of tenure was allowed by the landlords, and more importantly they learned that their English political masters cared little for their plight. The Famine in Mayo is a portrait of the lives and deaths of the people as recorded by witnesses in books, newspapers and official records of that period. 1(a) The Famine in Mayo 1845 - 1850 The Potato Disease e first reports of blight appeared in September of 1845. For one third of the country’s population of eight million, the nutritious lumper potato was pratically the sole article of the diet. In County Mayo, it was estimated that nine tenths of the population depended on it. An acre and a half of land could provide enough potatoes to support a family for most of the year. Any other crops or animals the smallholder raised went to pay rent. A potato famine was a great calamity.

  • Chapter 2 Core and Settlement Strategy

    Chapter 2 Core and Settlement Strategy

    Draft Mayo County Development Plan 2021-2027 CHAPTER 2 CORE AND SETTLEMENT STRATEGY 2.1 Introduction The Core Strategy and Settlement Strategy for the County Development Plan has been prepared through extensive collaboration between the Forward Planning team, Elected Members and all relevant sections of the Council. It has also been informed by the National Planning Framework (NPF), the Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy (RSES) for the Northern and Western Region, the UN Sustainable Goals and the Strategic Economic Drivers influencing the sustainable future growth of County Mayo over the lifetime of the plan and beyond. The challenge is to build on the unique dispersed settlement characteristics of Mayo, in order to provide a balance, link and synergy between the rural countryside and urban settlements of the County. This will be realised through the following vision for County Mayo and the strategic aims set out below. 2.2 Vision of County Mayo ‘To create a sustainable and competitive county that supports the health and well-being of the people of Mayo, providing an attractive destination, as a place in which to live, work, invest, do business and visit, offering high quality employment and educational opportunities within strong and vibrant sustainable communities, whilst ensuring a transition to a low carbon and climate resilient county that supports high environmental quality.’ 2.3 Strategic Aims The strategic aims which relate to the advancement of this vision, are set out hereunder for each chapter of Volume 1 of the County Development Plan. The Plan aims to build on previous successes and to strengthen Mayo’s strategic advantage as a county, to ensure that we meet the needs of our citizens, communities, built and natural environments, infrastructure and economic/employment development to their full potential, while combatting and adapting to climate change.
  • The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers

    The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers

    THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS A Colour-coded Resource Accounting For What Survives; Where It Is; & With Additional Information of Copies, Transcripts and Online Indexes SEPTEMBER 2021 The List of Parish Registers The List of Church of Ireland Parish Registers was originally compiled in-house for the Public Record Office of Ireland (PROI), now the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), by Miss Margaret Griffith (1911-2001) Deputy Keeper of the PROI during the 1950s. Griffith’s original list (which was titled the Table of Parochial Records and Copies) was based on inventories returned by the parochial officers about the year 1875/6, and thereafter corrected in the light of subsequent events - most particularly the tragic destruction of the PROI in 1922 when over 500 collections were destroyed. A table showing the position before 1922 had been published in July 1891 as an appendix to the 23rd Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records Office of Ireland. In the light of the 1922 fire, the list changed dramatically – the large numbers of collections underlined indicated that they had been destroyed by fire in 1922. The List has been updated regularly since 1984, when PROI agreed that the RCB Library should be the place of deposit for Church of Ireland registers. Under the tenure of Dr Raymond Refaussé, the Church’s first professional archivist, the work of gathering in registers and other local records from local custody was carried out in earnest and today the RCB Library’s parish collections number 1,114. The Library is also responsible for the care of registers that remain in local custody, although until they are transferred it is difficult to ascertain exactly what dates are covered.

Fáilte roimh gach éinne. 2nd Sunday of Lent – 16th March 2014 “I wish you a happy National Bank Holiday Weekend” …… I was in the car today and heard a well known Radio Presenter close his show with those words. It seemed a contrived and long-winded way of saying “Happy St Patrick’s Day”!! Of course, to do that, might be considered politically incorrect and, possibly even more of an offence, an indication that something of our Sacred Story was being acknowledged. It is quite common in some countries to exchange the greeting “Happy Holidays” around the third week of December!! Again, political correctness, secular tipp-ex, seems to distance, through silence, the reason for the holiday. So where are we with this? Will we celebrate “Paddys”, “Paddy’s Day”, “Drown the Shamrock” …. ? Or, will we let the name be heard? It’s not just a choice for this week. It’s a choice we are called to make each day. Let the name - the Holy Name be spoken! Let our voice be heard! Rtin Directors: Fr. Kieran Holmes, Killala opportunities for adults and school Diocese and Fr.

  • Western Rail Trail

    Western Rail Trail

    Western Rail Trail Recipient: Iain Douglas county planner, Peter Hynes County Manager, Lisa Chambers TD, Dara Calleary TD, Enda Kenny TD, Minister Michael Ring TD, Minister for transport Shane Ross, Cllr Michael Smyth, Cllr Sea... Letter: Greetings, I have just signed the petition for Greenway on the closed for 40 years railway line from Swinford to Charlestown. I want a greenway on this closed railway not a Velo-Rail which is what the county plan proposed. Following extensive public consultation in 2012 The Swinford Vision for the Future survey was published. Over 1,000 people were surveyed in the Swinford/Charlestown area for this really important survey which Mayo county council partly sponsored. One of the main recommendations of the Survey was to create a greenway (walking and cycling trail) on the closed railway from Swinford to Charlestown, connecting two neighbouring Mayo towns with a traffic free pedestrian and cycling route. In 2013 Mayo county council received almost 300 submissions on the county plan asking for a greenway on this route; Mayo County Council refused to adopt this simple idea for the county plan despite massive public support and despite what the Swinford Vision for the Future survey asked for! Mayo county council did not receive a single submission asking for a velorail yet this is what Mayo county planning executives put in the county plan, ask why they did this?. Councillors need to ask the county planning executive why this happened. They need to ask the county planners why the closed railway was conveniently labelled as "disused" in the county plan when the National Transport Authority, Irish Rail and Department of Transport define the line as closed.
