St. Brendan’s Church Our Parish is called by the ancient Irish parish name of Kilmocomogue which is the name of the area or townland where the first Church was erected, near the village of Kealkil. Kilmocomogue Burial Ground is still there. There have been many different spellings offered throughout the centuries - the most unusual being Kylmocowog e (1550). T he origin of Kilmocomogue is clearly the Church of Mochomogue. In Irish Mochomogue means 'my young Colman' as in a term of endearment. There are more than 300 Irish Saints named Colman. The best known are four - Colman of Cloyne circa 530 ad, Dromore circa 514ad, Lorna O’Donovan Kilmacduagh circa 632ad and Lindisfarne circa 676ad. Two further possibilities exist also - Saint Colman of Kinneigh is suggested by Jeremiah O’Mahony in ‘West Cork and it’s story’. He was an associate of Fin Barre as was Colman of Cloyne. Also suggested by Sister Angela in ‘Parish Histories and place names of West Cork’ is a St. Coman with a direct association with Bantry. We are not certain but it is quite likely to be either Colman of Cloyne or Colman of Kinneigh. The first reference to a Church of Ireland Church building is in ‘Clerical and Parochial Records of Cork, Cloyne and Ross’ by W.M. Brady in 1699. He wrote ‘the Church stood 3 miles to the north east of Bantry in a ruinous condition’. This of course refers to the Church at Kilmocomogue, Kealkil. Brady continues ‘there is a cabin built on purpose for a chapel in Bantry’. An Act of Parliament was passed in 1704 transferring the Ecclesiastical centre to Bantry at Garraidhe Ui Mhurchadha. From "Lewis's Topographic Atlas" (1837). There is a recorded burial in Garraidhe UiMhurchadha in 1781. Services were also conducted in Glengarriff, Ballylickey and Cappanaloha at the Rectory. Reference is made in 1747 to the fact that there were 2 or 3 resident Clergy in the Parish of Kilmocomogue and a reference is also made to there being a decent Parish Church. That site at Church Road was abandoned in 1818 and the present building was erected on land donated by the First Earl of Bantry, Richard White. The building began in 1818 and was finally completed in 1828. It is described as being in the early English style ‘oblong with a tower in three stages in which is a porch and with vestry but without trancepts or spire - a neat structure’. The interior was completely refurbished in 1859 when pews and a gallery were installed. Stained glass windows given by the Earl of Bantry in memory of the Countess were installed. In the 1880’s further refurbishment was carried out when the Bell was added at a cost of £130. The church was then tiled and the organ was donated by Revd. W. R. Gilbert. The first time the town clock on the Church was rung was to herald in the 20th Century. Over the years since then each generation has cared for the church and added improvements. The Church was dedicated to St. Brendan the Navigator in 1999 with improvements added to the heating and electical system. Most recently in 2015 & 2016 we have had the Baker refurbishment.

Hi everyone
The great Durrus Garden Fete 2018 is once again fast approaching and we are already
receiving Bric a Brac. Items can be delivered to the Bric a Brac Store Shed at the Rectory
which will be clearly signposted or you can phone Jim Hildred (027 56862) or Judith Payne
(027 61022) to arrange collection or for any questions you may have.
Miscellaneous objects, curios, pottery and small items of furniture such as coffee tables are
all very acceptable.
Just a reminder that we sincerely regret that we cannot accept second-hand electrical goods
for insurance reasons. Battery powered items present no difficulty. The exceptions to this
are items, such as table lamps or standard lamps,
which can be rewired easily.
We apologise that we cannot accept items on the day
of the Fete. It is logistically very difficult to cope with
such items when we are about to open.
Thank you for your kind co-operation and your
generous support.
Jim Hildred
Art and Craft Stall
Last year we had a great response with some
generous and lovely donations from parishioners
and local craft workers. Thank you one and all. We
had many positive comments afterwards.
This year we are looking for similar contributions and would be delighted
to receive any suitable contributions of paintings, hand made items,
pottery, candles, ceramics, jewellery and other such items. Perhaps you
have and unwanted gift that might love a new home?
Thank you, in anticipation.
Christine & HazelBottle Stall
This year we are looking for helpers
and donations please.
If you have anything in the back of the cupboard or
something that you got for Christmas that you won't use,
we would love it.
Bottles, jars, cans, perfume, cosmetics,
tubes etc are all welcome.
(We would love anything as long as it is in date and unopened)

Patient Forum
For One Hour, Three/Four Times a Year
The Patient Forum consists of volunteers (former patients or people with an
interest in the hospital) who meet to gather ideas about ways that the
Hospital can improve or enhance its services. (It does not have a fundraising
role).
The Forum uses Patient Survey Forms & personal experience to inform
discussions as well as looking at what others do.
If you think that you could be part of this voluntary group, please
come along to an
Information Session on Monday, 10th September in the Training
Room in the Hospital at 10.00 am.
Refreshments will be provided.
If you have any queries in advance of the Information Session, please call
