Mission Statement 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. 3rd Sunday of Lent - 4th March 2018 prepare but when people speak about the coming of Jesus and repentance, nobody seems to respond or act – why?” It too, was intended to be funny and, to that end, was successful but there’s a thought in there somewhere. Why are we so slow to hear the Lenten Call to repentance? Why are we so slow or maybe reluctant, to approach the Sacrament of Reconciliation? Interestingly I was less inclined towards hitting “forward” on that one too. Again, why? If that message had a role to play in jogging our memories, awakening our consciousness around the true meaning of Lent, why would I be less likely to send it on to my friends than a video clip of a man clearing ice off the wrong car? Why would an aeroplane dropping loaves of bread to those living in dread of “the beast”, be sent on without a second thought when this one stayed in my inbox? Why are we so reluctant to share images and stories around our faith? During the week I met with parents of children in the parish – children preparing to celebrate their First Penance in the coming weeks. It was a good meeting and we shared a few thoughts around the Sacrament and what it means or could mean to us if we allowed it become part In the midst of many funny messages received in recent of our journey. days around #BeastFromTheEast, I got this one and it made me think as well as smile. LENTEN THOUGHT: When did you last approach the Sacrament of Reconciliation? What It was posing the question along these lines: “When can we do to prepare in response to the Lenten people are given weather warnings, they listen and Call; “Repent, and believe the good news”? kilmoveeparish.org @kilmoveeparish Rtin PRAYING THROUGH LENT On Sunday next, March 11th, we will have a GUIDED HOLY HOUR in Kilkelly Church from 7pm.

It includes Killary Harbour, Clew Bay, Black Sod Bay, Belmullet, and the islands of Inishbofin, Inishturk, Clare, Achill, and the Inishkeas. It is an area of incomparable charm and natural beauty where mountains come down to the sea unspoilt by development. It is also an area without marinas, or easy access to marine services. Self-sufficiency is absolutely necessary, along with careful navigation around a rocky lee coastline in prevailing westerlies. A vigilant watch for approach of frequent Atlantic gales must be kept. Inishbofin is reported to be the most common stopover of visiting foreign-flagged yachts in Ireland, of which there are very few on the West coast. Best time to visit is May-September. 1 24 May 2015 Port officer’s name: Services available in area covered: Daria & Alex Blackwell • There are no marinas in the west of Ireland between Galway and Killybegs in Donegal, so services remain difficult to access. Haul out facilities are now available in Kilrush on the Shannon River and elsewhere by special arrangement with crane operators. • Visitor Moorings (Yellow buoy, 15 tons): Achill / Kildavnet Pier, Achill Bridge, Blacksod, Clare Island, Inishturk, Rosmoney (Clew Bay), Leenane.

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
    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 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.
