SUMMARY:Edward H. Furey\, founder\, The Keely Society: "Patrick C. Keely's Legacy to the Catholic Church in America and St. Mary's Church in Newport\, R.I."
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text] \n\n\nThis lecture will be held in St. Mary’s Church\, which was designed by Irish-born architect\n\n\nPatrick C. Keely \n (1816-1896).\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]Patrick Charles Keely (1816-1896) designed and built an estimated 700 ecclesiastical structures including churches\, cathedrals\, schools\, colleges\, and other parish buildings. He left Thurles\, Ireland\, for America in 1842\, and arrived in Brooklyn\, NY where he began to practice his carpentry skills gleamed from his father and brother\, who had both worked on the building of St. Patrick’s College\, Thurles. Keely arrived in the United States just as the Roman Catholic Church was experiencing unprecedented expansion. \nA chance meeting with Fr. Sylvester Malone of Brooklyn led to designs for Keely’s first church in America — the highly acclaimed Church of St. Peter and Paul in Brooklyn\, 1848 (demolished 1957)\, designed in the Gothic Revival style\, fast becoming a hallmark of Catholic Church design. The Brooklyn commission spawned a succession of designs for churches\, cathedrals\, and institutional buildings that distinguished Keely as America’s leading Catholic architect of the 19th century. This career eventually led Fr. James Fitton\, legendary New England pioneer priest\, to bestow on Keely the title of “Prince of American Catholic Architects.” \nIn 1848\, Patrick Keely would begin the design for “Church of the Holy Name of Mary\,” in Newport Rhode Island. Fr. Fitton was the first pastor of St. Mary’s and he later called upon Keely to design Holy Redeemer Church in East Boston\, where Fr. Fitton remained until he died. \nThe Power Point presentation will focus on what is known of the (Kiely) Keely family in Ireland\, their contribution to the Catholic Church in America\, on through the building career of Patrick Keely\, and the legacy of his monumental career of ecclesiastical structures in America. \nEdward H. “Ted” Furey is the founder and president of the Keely Society\, dedicated to the art and architecture of Patrick Charles Keely (www.PatrickKeely.com). Mr. Furey is the Historical Curator of the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and the Cathedral Liturgical Museum. He is Head of the Art Dept. of St. Bernard School\, Enfield\, CT and a Board Member of the Enfield Historical Society. He has been an expert witness at historic landmark hearings regarding Patrick Keely. He has hosted a number of Keely Congresses in both Boston and Brooklyn. Ted also was called upon to write an extensive article on Patrick Keely for the Pugin Society\, UK\, which was published in their quarterly publication \n[/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Edward T. McCarron\, Ph.D. - "Facing the Atlantic: Ireland\, Newfoundland and Outmigration to New England\, 1790-1860"
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QOEwILWBXo”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]Newfoundland was an early destination for Irish immigrants during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The beginnings of this migration were deeply embedded in the growth of the Atlantic cod fishing trade which saw many Irish venture to Newfoundland as seasonal fishermen. As Arthur Young recounted in 1776\, “The number of people who go passengers in the Newfoundland ships is amazing; from 60 to 80 ships\, and from 3000 to 5000 annually.” By 1800 a permanent pattern of Irish settlement had emerged. This migration was remarkable in its geographical origins – with most voyagers hailing from the southeast of Ireland. \nEconomic circumstances propelled some of these Newfoundland migrants (or their children) to eventually move on to the North American mainland. These “two boaters” left a footprint in early Irish communities particularly in the Maritime Provinces of Canada\, and those of coastal New England. \nThis illustrated lecture will explore the homeland origins and Atlantic experience of Irish who journeyed to Newfoundland – with particular emphasis on those leaving from south Kilkenny. We will also investigate outmigration from Newfoundland to New England – highlighting this stepwise movement through several case studies of Irish emigrants to Maine during the nineteenth century. \nEd McCarron is an associate professor of history at Stonehill College. He is originally from Pennsylvania\, and currently resides in Maine\, but over the years he has lived in a variety of places – from the Florida Panhandle to a rural village in southeast Ireland. Perhaps for this reason\, his research interests have focused on place\, community and the historical landscape\, especially viewed through the lens and contours of Irish immigrant communities. His publications have included articles ranging from an exploration of early Irish settlements in Maine\, to a regional case study of Inistioge\, County Kilkenny that appeared in the Atlas of the Irish Rural Landscape (2nd edition). With his wife Fidelma\, he is working on a historical atlas of the Nore Tidewater region of County Kilkenny – a river valley that has witnessed an ebb and flow of migration over the centuries. The Museum welcomes Prof. McCarron back for this\, his second talk to our membership. \n[/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Tom Riley - "The Great Hunger and Its Impact On The Orphan Train Era in America\, 1853-1929"
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]The Great Hunger led to massive emigration to the U.S.\, Canada\, Australia and Europe. Shiploads of emaciated Irish adults\, children and families arrived daily on coffin ships in New York City\, America’s Golden Door. Many parents\, already emaciated\, died aboard ship and were buried at sea\, or shortly after their arrival. Families and parentless children made their way into Lower Manhattan\, including the notorious “Five Points area. Over 15\,000 orphaned children\, many Irish\, flooded New York streets\, living in sewer pipes\, alleyways and wooden boxes. The Irish Diaspora was later followed by many other ethnic groups fleeing corruption\, tyranny\, hunger and lack of opportunity. \nAuthor Tom Riley will share “the greatest American story never told.” Learn what happened to the 273\,000 New York City children\, as many as one-quarter Irish\, sent out across America on Orphan Trains — an attempt to assist the massive numbers living in poverty and exposed to disease\, abuse and exploitation. Orphan Train founders believed salvation was to be found in America’s heartland. Learn how\, at a time when America lacked a “safely net\,” the American Female Guardian Society built twelve industrial schools to teach these children a trade. Learn about two orphan train riders\, sent on the same train to Indiana\, and how they later became the governors of Alaska and North Dakota. \nTom has researched and written several books on the Orphan Train Era\, which will be available for signature and sale after the presentation. Learn more by visiting www.TheOrphanTrainRiders.com\, including Tom’s fascinating bio on the “About” page. \n[/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Barbara (Lepley) Roy - "How to Obtain Your Irish Citizenship"
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]If you have at least one grandparent who was born in Ireland\, you are eligible for Irish Republic (dual) citizenship and then can obtain an Irish passport. Our speaker will walk us through the process for fulfilling all the requirements of both Irish citizenship and getting your Irish passport. In addition\, she will share how you can enjoy the many benefits of being an Irish citizen\, both practical and sentimental. \nWhile many of us may have Irish-born grandparents\, relatively few apply for Irish citizenship\, perhaps put off by concern about the paperwork and the process. Take the first step and come and learn what is really involved from a fellow Museum member and Newport County native who has learned first-hand and is eager to share her knowledge. Barbara Roy has proven success in this process\, including the required interaction with the Irish Consulate Office. Q&A will follow the presentation. \nBARBARA (LEPLEY) CROWELL ROY grew up in Middletown and has two maternal grandparents born in Ireland. After a trip to Ireland in 2006 she decided to apply for Irish citizenship. She became an Irish citizen in 2007 and received her Irish passport shortly thereafter. Married to Vance C. Roy\, MD\, she divides her time between Newport and Sachseln\, Switzerland. A graduate of the former St. Catherine’s Academy\, she is a registered nurse who holds an MBA from Boston College and a Masters in Counseling Psychology from Arizona State University. She serves as a docent at the Museum of Newport Irish History Interpretive Center and is president of Eve’s Fund for Native American Health Initiatives\, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting literacy\, injury prevention and education for Native American youth in Arizona\, New Mexico and Utah. \n[/vc_column][/vc_row]
