Mission Statement Parish of Kilmovee Church of the “A family of families” 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 Tand compassion of Jesus Christ. Fáilte roimh gach éinne. 20th & 21st Sundays in Ordinary Time – 20th & 27th August THANK YOU FOR THE ROAD SHARED Dear Friends, This weekend is my last weekend among you before I take up my appointment as Administrator of Attymass Parish. It is very hard to believe that nine years have passed so quickly here in the Parish of Kilmovee and I am very grateful to you, the people of this parish for allowing me to be part of your life’s journey – Baptisms, Communions, Confirmations, Weddings, Funerals and all the church ceremonies of the year. That’s one of the greatest joys of the priesthood, where a priest has the great privilege of being part of every family in the parish, as it says on our newsletter every week a family of families, this is the family of the priest. It is a treasure to be held with great care by the priest and never to be taken for granted because in my eyes it is more precious than Gold. The memories of this treasure gives the priest the courage to face his new appointment because of the faith experience shared in the parish he is leaving. Leaving is never easy at any stage of life and change brings with it the unknown, but for a priest on the day of his ordination he makes a vow of obedience to the Bishop, in which he says yes to go where he is needed. As this change comes about let us keep each other in our prayers. It would be wrong of me if I didn’t say a thank you to Fr. Farrell Cawley and Fr. Vincent my Parish Priests during my time here. To the Sacristans of our churches; Paddy Nyland, Maureen Duffy, Marie Regan and Mike Hawkins. I cannot forget the late Nuala Hawkins. All that make parish life run so smoothly; Parish Pastoral Council, Choirs, Organists and Musicians, Minsters of the Word, Minsters of Holy Communion, Altar Servers, all involved with the parish collections and altar societies. You, the people of the parish, for your kindness and support over the last nine years will never be forgotten by me. God bless Fr. John kilmoveeparish.org @kilmoveeparish Rtin NEWSLETTER AND MASSES FROM SEPTEMBER Please note there will not be a Parish Bulletin published next weekend.

Fáilte roimh gach éinne. 23rdFebruary 2020 SEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME BILL his is my father, Bill. 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. THE POTATO CROP THE POTATO CROP PERSECUTION Mayo Constitution (11-11-1845) TO THE EDITOR OF AND STARVATION The Telegraph (19-8-1846) In some cases the damage is found, on THE CONSTITUTION Rathbane, 29th December, 1845 digging out the potatoes, to be only On Monday last upwards of 500 poor, partial, in other cases the injury and loss wretched, emaciated human beings are, very great.

  • 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.

  • “I Wish You a Happy National Bank Holiday Weekend” ……
    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. 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. John Maloney leavers at this local Further Education Achonry Diocese. From the 23rd- 28th college.
