CHURCH in Limerick: Saint Mary’s is the oldest cathedral on the Wild Atlantic Way, situated in Limerick Wild Atlantic Way Gateway City (visit www.limerick.ie for more information). The Cathedral is one of the oldest buildings in Limerick and stands at the heart of the medieval city. Originally the Royal Palace for the Kings of Thomond it was gifted to the Church in 1168. Saint Mary’s is an extraordinarily complex building representing developments from the mid-twelfth century to the later twentieth century – a treasure of Irish religious art. You can find more details about our charges for visiting and hours of opening here.
The Cathedral stands majestically over the City of Limerick on the banks of the River Shannon. Saint Mary’s is a place where pilgrim and stranger may enter to seek God’s grace and peace in a broken and fragile world, and a symbol of faith, hope and love to the city of Limerick.

IRISH in Glasgow: It has been estimated that “fifty to ninety per cent of the people in the West of Scotland have some Irish ancestry in their family tree. Think of prominent Scots with Irish names – Loraine Kennedy, Dougie Donnelly, Billy Connolly, Brian Cox, Sean Connery. Certainly, huge numbers of Irish arrived in the Greater Glasgow area at the height of the potato famine in the mid-nineteenth century, but there had been a long tradition of links, particularly sea trading and work opportunities, between the West coast and the north of Ireland.
The single navy or agricultural worker who made periodic forays to Scotland was a common sight and there are novels which have been written about their exploits and hardships, notably Children of the Dead End written by Patrick McGill in 1914.” [Source: ‘A Fictional Family History’ by Dr. Sean Damer published in Newsletter, Journal of the Glasgow & West of Scotland Family History Society, No 88, June 2010, pp12-15].

New York NY Irish American Advocate 1943-1945 – 0169.pdf
24 April 1943
Our contributor Mr. T. D. Curtin, sends us the following letter he received from Father Mulvihill of Mississippi City.
Dear Mr. Curtin:
I wish to thank you so sincerely for your interesting and informative letter, as also for the words of “Adare” which I received a week or so ago.
My delay in answering was because I have been under the weather for the past few days.
Strange, but your home and mine were within “A stone’s throw” of each other in the “Old Sod.” I know of and where Rockchapel is situated—tho’ I have never been actually there, strange as it may seem.
I first saw the light of day in Athea in West Limerick on the borders of Kerry. Probably you know where it is—or you may have been there. Athea Is only six miles from Abbeyfeale. I know every stone of it. Used to attend its fairs and markets: its horse races and its foot-ball games. I was a competitor in – h i g h jumping and running at its G.A.A. sports, and in step-dancing at one of its Feiseanna. So you see. Yes, I went to the National Schools at Athea, and took what they would call in this Country a post-graduate course at Newcastle West, under J. D. Musgrave—you may have heard of him. By the way, a Michael Curtin and I were students at All-Hallows College for a good manv years. He, when Ordained went to Madras India. His home was from Rockchapel. I was just wondering if you knew him.
Would you be so kind as to give my address to the “Advocate” as a subscriber, I have not got the address. Again thanking you and with every best wish. I remain sincerely yours:
(Rev.) C. C. Mulvihill.
St. James’ Church, Mississippi, Miss.. April 5, 1943.

Poetry
I have no mother! for she died
When I was very young;
But still her memory round my heart,
Like morning mists, has clung.
They tell me of an angel form,
That watched me while I slept,
And of a soft and gentle hand
That wiped the tears I wept.
(See Paper)

When discussing goals, we typically talk about employing perseverance and persistence, even in the face of adversity and setbacks. “Quitters never win, and winners never quit,” and all that.
While grit is essential to goal achievement, Wrosch argues that an equally important part of successful living is knowing when to give up and disengage from a goal.
We only have so much time and resources to direct toward life projects. If we spend that limited time and resources on goals we can’t achieve, we’re setting ourselves up for massive frustration. We’d be better off redirecting our limited time and resources to a new achievable goal.
