Parish Notices Sunday 31 March 2019

The Rector writes   ‘Our Lenten Studies are going well with lots of discussion on many issues to do with our Parish.

One item that cropped up last week was the importance of us being an Inclusive Parish and it reminded me of the lovely  poem  ‘Outwitted’  by Edwin Markham  (1852-1940)

“He drew a circle that shut me out-
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle and took him In!”

Long may we continue to be an open and welcoming community!’

Transcribed beneath are a small collection of interesting extracts from the book of minutes of meetings of the Select Vestry, covering a three year period from 1881.

1881, September 19th.   ‘Proposed by Mr. Robt. Hayes, seconded by Capt. Conner    “That as Mrs. Green has consented to undertake the playing of the harmonium at the morning service that Miss Hogan be asked to accept a salary of six pounds per annum, and to undertake the music at the evening service, and to assist at the morning service whenever necessary. Salary to commence from this date and to become due at Easter in each year.”

1881, December 12th   ‘A special meeting of select vestrymen was held this day in Carrigaline Church pursuant to notice posted in Church porch & given out in Church.

Present, messrs. S.D. O’Grady, D.H. Young, John Smith, & the Revd. J. Sullivan. Mr. O’Grady proposed and Mr. Young seconded a resolution to the following effect

“That Foley, slater be got to examine the roof and windows of the Church & report to the select vestry, giving an account of the necessary repairs, & expense of doing same”-passed.

Mr. O’Grady stated that he wished to mention to the vestry that Mr. Burke of Prospect Villa claimed a stable usually used in Carrigaline Churchyard by Mr. O’Grady, and in order to avoid any misunderstanding with reference thereto, Mr. O’Grady is desirous of building a stable for his own use at the end of Captain Conner’s stable, and Mr. O’Grady expressed his intention of applying for permission to erect same.’

1882, Easter Vestry, 10th April, ‘Mr. O’Grady wished to be informed if the Rector of the Parish could absent himself from his duties as Rector for any length of time without having permission of the select vestry’

1883, June 5th  ‘Proceedings opened with Prayer, and after signing the minutes of last meeting the following resolutions were passed,  first proposed by Mr. O’Grady         

“That the select vestry write to Leahy, builder, Kinsale, asking him to inspect and report on the condition of the roof of the Parish Church , and other repairs that may be requisite’

and secondly, proposed by S.D. O’Grady, seconded by Robt. Hayes

 “That the secretary write to the secretary of Church Rep. Body asking, first, whether the ownership of stables within Carrigaline Churchyard before passing of the Church act remains unaltered”, and secondly “Whether pews of galleries erected at the expense of private parties before passing of Church act form any exception to the law empowering the select vestry to dispose of same as they think fit.”
