Mission Statement Parish of Kilmovee Church of the St. Celsus’ Church, Immaculate Kilkelly 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 compassion of Jesus T Christ. Fáilte roimh gach éinne. Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time – 30th June THE ROAD TO ……. Someone once said that for the sailor who doesn’t know where he is going, no wind is helpful. It makes sense really. It’s only when there’s a destination or purpose in mind that the wind behind your back is of any real use. The same can be said of the road. If we don’t know where we’re going, it could be said that “no road is helpful”. I once heard of a young man who, finding himself in a strange place, asked a Garda where the road would take him and the reply, though not particularly helpful, was on the button “It will take you anywhere in the world you want to go”!! I think my friend would have been happy to know the next town but, in theory, the Garda was right. Where my friend stood was, in truth, the road to anywhere in the world as long as he knew where he wanted to go. Jesus is aware of his destination in this weekend’s Gospel passage. He is headed for Jerusalem and all that awaits his arrival. It’s not an easy road to travel but he is determined to travel it nonetheless. He is anxious to have travelling companions but only ones that are willing to go the extra mile, even if unsure where that mile will take them. We remember and offer companionship to those who may find themselves on an uncertain road at this time. We pray that they find, in the determination of Jesus, the strength and hope needed for the journey. Rtin Fetac Level 5 qualification in Health attend before.

  • Some Aspects of the Breeding Biology of the Swifts of County Mayo, Ireland Chris & Lynda Huxley
    Some aspects of the breeding biology of the swifts of County Mayo, Ireland Chris & Lynda Huxley 3rd largest Irish county covering 5,585 square kilometers (after Cork and Galway), and with a reputation for being one of the wetter western counties, a total of 1116 wetland sites have been identified in the county. Project Objectives • To investigate the breeding biology of swifts in County Mayo • To assess the impact of weather on parental feeding patterns • To determine the likelihood that inclement weather significantly affects the adults’ ability to rear young • To assess the possibility that low population numbers are a result of weather conditions and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean.

    ROINN COSANTA. BUREAU OF MILITARY HISTORY, 1913-21. STATEMENT BY WITNESS. 1620 DOCUMENT NO. W.S. Witness John Timony, James Connolly St., Ballina, Co. Mayo. Identity. Capt., Crossmolina Coy., Irish Volunteers, Co. Mayo. Subject. Crossmolina Company, Irish Volunteers, Co. Mayo, 1917 21. Conditions, if any, Stipulated by Witness. Nil. File No S.2944 Form B.S.M.2 STATEMENT BY MR. JOHN TIMONY James Connolly St., Ballina. I was born and reared in crossmolina in the Co. Mayo. My father was a farmer and my mother's maiden name was Keating. I remember my grandfather, who was a Fenian, telling us all about the French landing at Kilcummin in Killala Bay. He then lived at Lahardane where a number of the local Irish joined the French army. I don't think it is generally known that Humbert split his army shortly after landing, sending one force to Castlebar via Crossmolina arid Lahardane and the Windy Gap, and the other body went through Ballina and Foxford. to Castlebar. Two granduncles of mine joined up with Humbert at Lahardane and a large number of local people, under Father Conroy, C.C. of Lahardane, who was later captured by the English and hanged in Castlebar. The English suffered defeat all along the way of both. forces and at Castlebar were completely routed, and it is still called the Castlebar Races. Humbert then moved his complete army through Swinford to Collooney where he met and defeated a large English army outside the. town. He afterwards moved on to Dromohair by-passing Sligo, which is hard to explain, as there was an English garrison there which did not come out.

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.

  • The Crofton Families of Cloondaff, Addergoole, Co.Mayo
    The Crofton Families of Cloondaff, Addergoole, Co.Mayo Compiled by Mayo North Family History Centre, Enniscoe, Castlehill ,Ballina, Co.Mayo. March 2013 The Crofton Family of Cloondaff, Co.Mayo The Francis Blake Crofton referred to here was born in Crossboyne in the Barony of Clanmorris in 1842, the son of a Church of Ireland Clergyman. He is not connected in any way with the Crofton family who are the subject of this research. The Crofton Family of Cloondaff, Co.Mayo The following are records of the Croftons of Cloondaff. Timothy, who was listed in the Tithes in Derrygarve, is never mentioned again in any record pertaining to Derrygarve. Even when Burrishoole parish introduced record keeping in 1872, Crofton is not a name that features in Derrygarve. The Crofton Family of Cloondaff, Co.Mayo Table of contents Page i - vi Introduction and Abbreviations Page 1 – 11 The Genealogy of the Crofton Families of Cloondaff, Addergoole, Co.Mayo Extracts The Crofton Family of Cloondaff, Co.Mayo Introduction The accounts of the families given here are presented in a version of the narrative style devised by Sir Bernard Burke, the originator of such works as "Burke's Peerage" and "Burke's Landed Gentry." Using this system, as much information as possible about each individual can be displayed. Each generation is designated by a common series of letters or numbers. The earliest known male ancestor in each family is given at the beginning of each account; because, in most cases, none of his brothers’ or sisters’ names can be established with certainty, he is not given any number or letter.
