HISTORY: By my nature, I am a document-digger and an accidental archivist. My apartment—a short walk from this pile—holds a lot of books, back-date magazines, vintage photographs. The bookshelves run floor to ceiling, and they’re full. The last thing I need is another bunch of old paper, I thought to myself. Besides, there could be bedbugs in there, or cockroaches. And I had hurt my shoulder not long before, and I couldn’t lift or carry much.

 

I peered up the street, toward Lexington Avenue, and saw garbage bags piled in front of each building. It was trash day. All of this would be landfill in a matter of hours. It made it all the way from 1883 to 2021. I shook out my bad shoulder as best I could, sighed, and picked up a box. A few minutes later, having dropped it at home, I came back for two more armloads.

CHICAGO, Boland

He cares for a parish steeped in history but ever new

http://www.catholicnewworld.com/cnwonline/2013/0414/5min.aspx

 

By Dolores Madlener; STAFF WRITER

 

 

He is: Father Jeremiah Boland, administrator of Holy Family Parish, home to the second oldest church in the archdiocese. He is the archbishop’s delegate to extern and international priests, former chair of the Association of Chicago Priests and former chair of the Presbyteral Council. He also served on the Cardinal’s Board of Consultors. Ordained at Mundelein in 1981.

 

Growing up: “I hail from St. Gall’s Parish at 55th and Kedzie, went to St. Laurence High School, then Niles College Seminary. I have four brothers. Brother Mike is Msgr. Mike, head of Catholic Charities. Brothers Tim, Rich and Joe are married with children. We’ve been very lucky they’re all in the Chicagoland area. Mother is a resident at Holy Family Villa in Palos Park. She came from a family of five girls and raised five boys. Dad was a plant manager for Purex in East Chicago, Ind. He was from Visitation Parish, and mother from St. Augustine’s.

Boland’s an Irish name. All four grandparents were Irish-born. My father’s parents were from Dingle, County Kerry and my mother’s were from County Claire. We still have many relatives over there and connect with them as well. I had the wedding of my third cousin last October in Kerry.”

 

Parish life: “The parish was the center of our lives. We walked to church and school. I was an altar server. When we lived there it was primarily an Eastern European parish. It gradually became a very large Hispanic parish. The Second Vatican Council happened when I was in grammar school. Our pastor and priests were energetic in implementing the reforms.

 

“We were part of a progressive, forward-looking parish that influenced all of us. St. Galls, built in the late 50s, was built anticipating the liturgical reforms. The altar was not against the back wall and it’s not in a cruciform shape.

 

Priesthood: “We had a youth group. The priests were involved in issues facing the neighborhood, and made a connection between faith and the world we were living in. I also have a cousin, Father Pat Lyons, pastor of Our Lady of Knock, another great influence.

 

“Being administrator at historic Holy Family I now know all about floods, pipes and electrical systems. I’ve had the opportunity to be at wonderful parishes, but Holy Family is unique because of its history and diversity.

 

“There’s such resilience. It was on the brink of collapse so many times and has come back to life over and over again. I tell parishioners: ‘We’re one of the oldest churches and one of the youngest parishes’ because of the new development in the area. There’s a friendliness about the community that’s wonderful. On Sundays there’s a feeling of ‘we’re all back together again.’ Because of the size, I’m able to know just about everybody by their first name.

 

“Another great thing about this place is its connection with St. Ignatius College Prep. We have  many weddings and a number are Ignatius graduates. It’s touching to hear a couple say, ‘This is the church I really wanted to get married in.’ You don’t often hear kids bonding that way with a building. It says a lot about the formation they receive. I’ve developed an appreciation for the Jesuits and the contribution they make to education here in the city.”

CRIB at Duagh Church is attracting much attention; they have a pair of goats, lambs and a black Ass, a few fowl, Christmas Trees and also the traditional crib which is open to all visitors, great credit is due to the people involved in organising and maintaining the unusual Crib.

NEWS is created for consumption when they think we are going to swallow it.

WORK with all your might, but never trust in your work. Pray with all your might for the blessing in God, but work at the same time with all diligence, with all patience, with all perseverance. Pray, then. And so on, all the days of your life. The result will surely be abundant blessing. Whether you see much fruit or little fruit, such kind of service will be blessed. George Muller.

Early in the morning of 13 February 1692, in the aftermath of the Glorious

Revolution and the Jacobite uprising of 1689 led by John Graham of

Claverhouse, an infamous massacre took place in the Valley of Glencoe, in

the Highlands of Scotland. This incident is referred to as the Massacre of

Glencoe, or in Scottish Gaelic, 'Mort Ghlinne Comhann' (murder of Glen Coe).

The massacre began simultaneously in three settlements along the

glen—Invercoe, Inverrigan, and Achnacon—although the killing took place all

over the glen as fleeing MacDonalds were pursued. Thirty-eight MacDonalds

from the Clan MacDonald of Glencoe were killed by the guests who had

accepted their hospitality, on the grounds that the MacDonalds had not been

prompt in pledging allegiance to the new monarchs, William and Mary. Another

forty women and children died of exposure after their homes were burned.

SOME Christians try to go to heaven alone, in solitude. But believers are not compared to bears or lions or other animals that wander alone.

ST Patrick while a slave in Ireland, recalled in his confessions, I heard in my sleep a voice saying to me: `It is well that you fast, soon you will go to your own country.' And again, after a short while, I heard a voice saying to me: `See, your ship is ready.' And it was not near, but at a distance of perhaps two hundred miles, and I had never been there, nor did I know a living soul there; and then I took to flight, and I left the man with whom I had stayed for six years. And I went in the strength of God who directed my way to my good, and I feared nothing until I came to that ship. Many of us today lack faith in God, depriving us reaching our full ability.

Sad to see so many of the long standing members and supporters of the Listowel St Patrick's Day parade, missing this year. We appreciate their entire endeavour over the years.

For just as the eye which constantly shifts its gaze, now turning to the right or to the left, now incessantly peering up or down, cannot see distinctly what lies before it, but the sight must be fixed firmly on the object in view if one would make his vision of it clear; so too man's mind when distracted by his countless worldly cares cannot focus itself distinctly on the truth.

The European Ocean Energy Association (EU-OEA) published a 2050 roadmap for ocean energy, highlighting the major potential of energy produced from the flow of waves and tides or the thermal and salinity gradients of oceans and seas. The report estimated that installed ocean energy could reach 3.6 GW by 2030 and leap to nearly 188 GW by mid-century. In 2050, a world-leading ocean energy industry in Europe could prevent 136.3 million tonnes of CO2 per year from being emitted into the atmosphere and create 470,000 new green jobs,

THOUGHT: The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past - we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude - I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me and ninety percent how I react to it. And so it is with you - we are in charge of our attitudes. Charles Swindoll.

“The formative aspect of World Youth Day would be incomplete if we failed to remind young people that their faith remains incomplete unless they help others, unless they are generous, unless they try to do something about changing what they see is wrong,” said Yago de la Cierva, executive director of World Youth Day.

Furthermore, many of the hundreds of thousands of youth in Madrid over the course of WYD will be engaged in charitable work. Madrid’s Highland School held a fundraiser and sent 2,500 Euro to missions in Mexico. WYD’s Solidarity Fund is making it possible for those in poor countries to attend WYD.

History Notes March 9th 2011

KNOCK attracted thousand of pilgrims following the apparition on 21st August 1879, the Land League founded in October 1879 in the area also attracted the media. The daily Telegraph reporter visited Ballina and the west in Jan. 1880 to see for himself the condition of the Irish. Extracts from reports follows, day labourers idle at home watching the half bag of Indian Meal, knowing they will not be able to replace it, visited hut found a heap of half decayed small potatoes, in one corner the family bed, a miserable fire smoking with odds and ends, no turf in this district. There was resignation in the look of the father and mother, they had a child with bright blur eyes and rosy cheeks, dressed in rags but she would be a delight for a painter. He then visited a widow with 16 acres of land rented, two acres were planted with potatoes and failed, and she is unable to pay her rent, or buy corn her brother called to cut some wood for her fire she will drift along till she is evicted. Another man who rented a rod of land is denied outdoor relief; he has neither food for himself of seed to plant his garden. Another man with rent of £ 31, has house and buildings in decent order, his crops have failed, he sells £5 worth of hay to part pay rent, were he to sell all his possessions he would only cover a quarter of his debts, the family are living on Indian Meal and tick. Another man and wife and seven children are penniless, he has no claim on poor rate, only hope is a loan from America, the Priest secures him. In Croak Patrick district, a youth of 19 is providing for his seven siblings and protecting them from the workhouse, they have two acres of land, odd jobs help to pay for meal. On rubbish heap were a mother and three children, their home was constructed of sticks leaning against a broken wall, covered by furze and straw.

Another cabin so bad it looked vacant, except smoke was coming through the door, the house was filled with smoke, there lived husband and wife, six children and grandparents, children were wearing a single garment and eating from a bowl beside the fire. An evicted woman and child living in what appeared to be an animal den, except for the fire. On the sand hill a hole was made in the bank, a lobster pot for a door, the smoke came out at the top of the bank.

LONELINESS comes over us sometimes as a sudden tide. It is one of the terms of our humanness, and, in a sense, therefore, incurable. Yet I have found peace in my loneliest times not only through acceptance of the situation, but through making it an offering to God, who can transfigure it into something for the good of others ,says Elisabeth Elliot.

EPA in the US allows scrap tyres to be used as fuel for power stations, paper mills and cement factories, it is claimed to be a green fuel. Industry also realised that changing the name of waste tyres to solid waste could be a costly exercise for users and do more harm than good.

Vocational School Abbeyfeale

 

 

 

Abbeyfeale Vocational School Commemorative Magazine gives us an insight in the activities of a great school from 1951 to 2011. The newspaper accounts of the opening of the school recounted, it cost £14,000 to build and equipment and furniture cost another £6,000, there were five teachers and 40 students enrolled in 1951. The first Munster Fleadh held in Abbeyfeale in 1953. Reveille at 186 page magazine was published by the school in 1970 to wide acclaim. Vocational school Mega Mag, started as small in house publication in 1998, then in 2002 they changed to a more substantial book which was published at Christmas, it contained competitions, stories from grandparents and Mrs O Flaherty wrote of her past experiences of Christmas.

 

Abbeyfeale Cinema which closed in early 90s is recalled in the recent booklet, first pictures shown in Abbey Ballroom by Tom Tobin and Charlie Browne. Then in early 40s Danny Tobin erected the Abbey Cinema and modern screen added in 1950, various organisations rented the hall for dances and brought celebrity stars. The Commemorative Booklet has a host of pictures from 1950s onwards of staff, students and football teams, some notable pictures include recipients of Rural and Social Science diploma from UCC, Abbeyfeale Cabaret Group who performed on TV and at many local events in 1965 and `66 and Liam Flynn who won first prize in the International Youth Year Competition, he praised his teacher Joe O Keefe for his dedication. Padraig O Cearbhaill who was former principal wrote in 1982 of his first day at the school in 1951, he recalled his first contact with a parent and student, the support of people, staff, clergy, Conradh na Gaeilge, Macra na Feirme, ICA, Glor na nGael and other Gaelic associations and promoters, symposiums and discussions and much more. Padraig was familiar with many of the old travelling Irish teachers who worked in the early days of the revival, which included his father. Michael Culhane of Glin gives a vivid description of his student days 1964 `65, he sends his good wishes to present principal Tommy Barrett another Glin man. Mary Kenneally O Sullivan now a Principal herself recalls her memories teaching from Jan. to June 1977 in Abbeyfeale, the first day she arrived the school was closed due to snow. Michael Crimmins also pays tribute while former teacher Joe O Keeffe writes on the schools sporting history, the early days they contested Kerry teams and students were packed into small cars for transport to events. Dan McAuliffe of Duagh was a past pupil of the school, there was great contest betweens the Vocational Schools for the VEC Shield which now resides in Abbeyfeale, countless athletes did their best annually over 30 years to win this treasure. In 2004 the Vocational School Team U 14 won the County Title in hurling , the first time ever that an Abbeyfeale Hurling team won a County Final.

 

Sixteen past students also gave snippets of their thoughts on their school days at the Vocational.

 

John Relihan a past pupil and well known Chief came for a day to the school to share his skill in 2010 .

 

Abbeyfeale Church of Ireland graveyard adjoins the school and a short history of the church is included, it was erected in 1812 from grant of £800 it was abandoned in 1920s. The church was attacked in Feb. 1822 and considerable damage was caused. In 1886 Mr O Connor was rector and Ewen Roark was buried in graveyard there in 1858 he was aged 64years.

Hello,

 

Like many other people here, I'm trying to trace my ancestors. My great

grandfather Michael Kelliher lived in Newtownsandes/Moyvane in the late

19th/early 20th century.

 

He was born circa 1878 to Michael and Norah (or Hanora) Kelliher, who were

born c1837 and c1841 respectively. They married in c1868, and had at least 8

children, five of whom I have information on:

 

*Ellen Kelliher (born c1873)

*Johanna Kelliher (born c1877) - married a man named Horan who died young,

had a daughter named Hannah Horan (born 1911)

*Michael, as above

*Thomas Kelliher (born c1881)

*Norah Kelliher (born c1887)

 

 

The younger Michael married Josephine Fennell from Tralee, though I don't

know when. Michael and Josephine lived and raised their children in this

house in the parish (picture is over two decades old):

 

 

 

His children largely scattered around the world as they grew up. My

grandfather, Michael's son, Louis Kelleher, moved to Cork to marry and start

his own family, and that is where I'm writing from now. Some of his siblings

settled in the UK and Canada. Louis died in 1991, so my research is sadly

lacking any insights he could have given me.

 

If anyone has any information on the Kellihers, no matter how trivial, I'd

be delighted to hear from you. Thank you.

Trust the Catcher, Henri J. M. Nouwen.
