History of Parish Clergy
In the post-reformation, or penal times, the two parishes of Cill Muire (Kilmurry) and Cill Feabaigh (Kilfarboy) were held jointly owing to a shortage of priests, until the year 1839 when Father Anthony McGuane, Parish Priest of both, died. His curate had been his brother, Fr Patrick McGuane, who, on his death became Parish Priest of Kilfarboy. The parishes were now divided and Cill Muire was given to Father E.P. Barry, a nephew or grand-nephew of the two Father McGuanes.
