Parish Notices Sunday 13th January 2019

The Rector writes We are delighted that so many of the Parish Drama Group are going to be involved in the Carrigaline Lions Club Charity Fundraiser ‘The OsKaRs’ .   Olna Trotter, Mary Murphy, Jocelyn Pierce, Hazel Kelleher, Hilary Warren-Perry & Mark Minahane will be acting in two of the abridged films : ’Sister Act’ and ’The Field’.   These two films, along with others, will be shown on two nights, 22/23 Feb, in the Carrigaline Court Hotel and voting will take place on the night for best Actor/Director/Movie etc.  This is our chance to dress up in our best outfits , enjoy the red carpet and vote!.  It is important to remember that this group is representing our parish within the wider community and so we need to get behind them and give them all the support we can.  We will place fundraising baskets at the back of the churches from Sunday 20th (after our Yemen Famine Relief fundraiser) as the group decided that they didn’t want to go the usual route of Cake Sales etc. because as there are so many of them involved, we would be totally exhausted attending all of the coffee mornings!

WHIST NIGHT FOR YEMEN FAMINE RELIEF

NEW GENEALOGY PAGE ON CARRIGALINEUNION.ORG

The Parish Web Site has a new Genealogy page at http://carrigalineunion.org/genealogy/, where historical parish records may be viewed.

The following is quoted in part from that page:

“Historical parish registers give important genealogical information including details of baptisms, marriages and burials within parishes.  Although some church records, both Church of Ireland and Roman Catholic, were lost in the Four Courts fire of 1922, many registers had been retained in the individual parishes at that time and therefore survived. 

“With the permission of the Rector and Select Vestry, Tracton Genealogy and Local History Group has transcribed the existing parish records for the Carrigaline Union of Parishes, which are still kept within the parish.

“The boundaries of the Church of Ireland parishes originally mirrored the civil parishes which were, in turn, based on the medieval Christian parishes, adapted by the English administration.  Over time, as populations fell, parishes were amalgamated and united.

“The parish Church of Christ Church, Killanully, also known historically as Killingley, near Ballygarvan, was closed shortly after the final service there on Sunday, 25th February, 1990, and today the Church is occupied as a private house.  The last service to be held in the parish Church of Ballinaboy, near Ballinhassig, was on Sunday, 16th September, 1962, shortly after which the Church was dismantled; it today is a romantic ivy enveloped ruin.  Both these parishes had been for some years before their respective closures absorbed into the Carrigaline Union of Parishes.

“The modern-day Carrigaline Union of Parishes consists of the combined parishes of St. Mary’s, Carrigaline, (incorporating Killanully and Ballinaboy), and St. John’s, Monkstown, each with its own parish Church.”

The parish records were prepared and transcribed by Orla Busteed, to whom we are very grateful. Lesley Roberts has kindly provided the information concerning the final services in Killanully and Ballinaboy. Further discussion on this topic is warranted. There are excellent free online mapping resources to identify the parish boundaries and a short guide to how to see these will be forthcoming.

Additionally, it is hoped to clarify exactly how the parishes were absorbed into the current Union of Parishes.

More on these topics will follow in Random Notes later in 2019.
