Parish Notices Sunday 7th September 2014

The Rector writes  ‘Next month we will have a visit from a group of people from the charity ‘Feed the Minds’  This is a charity which  helps marginalised people transform their lives through education, mainly  through community-led projects in the Global South.  As they say themselves on their website,  www.feedtheminds.org , their projects are local but their impact is global.  They believe , as do I, that by

helping one person directly, hundreds more are helped indirectly in the community.  In order to best hear what they have to say to us, I am planning to have a little ‘Soiree’  (the posh word for a get-together!) for anyone from the Parish to meet with them. This will be on Saturday evening October 18th in the Rectory. (the week after our Harvest

Services)  The following day at the normal Sunday services, they will speak in both St John’s and St Mary’s Church so that everyone will have the opportunity to hear them and to think about how we as a parish can best help them in their work.  They will also be visiting Bandon College while they are in Cork.  I think that perhaps this will particularly appeal to those of you directly involved in Education but as we have all had the benefit of education ourselves so we can all relate to its importance in our own lives. ’.

We are holding a Scrap Metal Collection  to raise funds for the Parish. So have a clear out of your shed, garage and attic! If you require your scrap metal to be collected then we can arrange to collect if from your home/business. Call Adrian Bateman on 0868300379 or Henry Forbes on 0872035000  for information on where to drop it off or if you need it collected.

The Rev. J. H. Cole in his ‘Church and Parish Records of the United Diocese of Cork, Cloyne, and Ross’, Cork, 1903, records the following relative to the Rev.  William Spotswood Green:

‘W. S. Green, only son of Charles Green, J.P., of Youghal, who was the only son of William Spotswood Green, of that place, by Rebecca, daughter of Roger Green, of same. T.C.D., B.A., and Div. Test., 1871; M.A. 1874. He was ordained Deacon, 1872, and Priest, 1873, both at Cork. He was Curate of Kenmare, Co. Kerry, 1874-77; Curate of Carrigaline, Cork, 1877-80; Rector of the same, 1880.

He married, on 22nd June, 1875, his cousin, Belinda Beatty, second daughter of James Butler, J.P., of Waterville, Co. Kerry, by Anne Margaret, daughter of Roger Green Davis, J.P., of Dromdiah, Co. Cork, and has issue a son, Charles, Sch. T.C.D., b. 23rd. September, 1876; and five daughters.   Rev. W. S. Green resigned Carrigaline in 1889 on being appointed a Government Commissioner of Irish Fisheries. He is now Chief Commissioner.’
