I would like to thank all of you in Rathkenny Parish who sent mass cards, good wishes and who continue to pray for me today. Thank you for all the support you have given my family in Creewood too. Doctors thought I was not going to make it in late June but your prayers helped me through that time.

I was enjoying your site so much that I forgot I was to be somewhere else. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. I will be back. Rita

I came across your website by mistake, or so I thought! But I have to say it was one of the mistakes I can say that I didn't regret, and I will be returning to it again. Very inspiring and knowledgeable. I love it, keep up the good work !!

I wish to thank all the people in Rathkenny Rushwee and Grangegeeth for praying for me over the past few months since I got ill. The power of prayer has helped me so much and has the doctors baffled. I want to especially thank Fr Stanley who visited me in hospital, and Mammy & Daddy say I got better each time he visited. May I say God Bless you all and I look forward to visiting Rathkenny in the years to come. Love Áine Casserley (Aged 7 months)

We here in Boston, Massachusetts, wish all our relatives, friends and neighbors a very special, blessed Christmas. A special wish goes to Mrs Rose McGrane of Harristown, Hayes, A special hello to Sister Francis of Trim Mercy Convent and Jane Clark of Rahood, Nobber. May the peace of Christ be with you all.

Can I say how much I enjoy accessing the Liturgical Calender and reading the brief outlines for a Feast Day. The www.RathkennyParish.ie website can be found in my "daily favourites" selection. Additionally, I love accessing the varied Topics of Faith under the Main Menu, and have learned so much about the basics of faith, having returned to faith after many years of absence, through the influence of the late John Paul the Great, and a kindly priest hailing from the West of Ireland. May all who visit this site be richly blessed. Go n-éiri Réalta na Beithile i gcroi gach uile dhuine.

Great to find the website. Loads to read. 262871 visitors! Attended the old and new churches. My father and grandparents are buried in Rathkenny graveyard. Spent my early school years at Stackallen and then on to Drogheda and then the world! Had the most special times there (thanks P!). Rathkenny Hall, and the Sally, and the Lackan, and the church every sunday, the missions, holy days, and places with no names but the ones we children gave them. Such memories. Good luck to all.

I'm delighted to have just discovered your website which is very enjoyable. I grew up in Rathkenny. My father was Terence Cullen and my mother was Christina. We owned the local pub and grocery store at Lacken. I came to Toronto in 1959 and have lived here ever since. I married a Skerries girl in 1969 and we have four children and five grandchildren. I remember several of the people mentioned on your site.

Your site looks pleasing. Well done.

Great website, best I've seen so far. Congratulations

Could anybody help me in finding the exact location of the Rathkenny Hills, please.... it's a beautiful part of the country, but no map references can pinpoint them.. keep up the good work on your website. Well done...!

Great website, and I really enjoyed the pictures of the parish in action. Was looking for similarities as my Great-Grandfather--Christopher Graham--was born in Rathkenny in 1815. Hopefully someone there can help me locate where his family resided there. He married a Togher (Toher). Would like to hear from anyone. Thanks.

Congratulations on a very informative parish website. It was a joy to read as I have many connections with Rathkenny, especially as it was my mother's home parish. Keep up the great work.

Enjoying your site! Many thanks. Rathkenny seems to be where ancestors of the Spring family were living before about 1855. If anyone there can confirm this, we'd be grateful. Contact: kedumba at acay dot com dot au (written this way to reduce automated spam).

. . Rathkenny has a lovely choir and I really like your website!! Keep up the good work. Mai.

It happens that you can get lost on some websites, it won't happen on this beautiful and easy-to-navigate site.

Thank you Fr. Stanley for your kind help regarding the marriage of Val Cassidy & Jane Whelan,'Rathanna House', Blackglen Road, Sandyford, D.18.

I lived near Wilkinstown in the 1940s and remember playing many a football match at Rathkenny, Castletown, Syddan, etc. Congratulations on a good web site. May the Lord bless and encourage you all in His work.

Congrats to the parish on a great website.

We got married in Rushwee on Sept.7 1993.this website brings back great memories.Greetings to Father Stanley and to all the lovely singers in the choir.God bless. Yvonne,Jorge,Xoel and Sinead.
