Cork Diocese, 1846, From Ireland URL http://www.from-ireland.net, ©Jane Lyons

ROMAN CATHOLIC ARCHDIOCESE OF CORK, 1846

PARISH PRIESTS, CURATES, PARISHES, POST TOWNS AND COUNTIES

This archdiocese covers the following counties:
Almost all of Armagh, part of Derry or Londonderry, part of Louth and most of County Tyrone

This pages differs from my 1836 R.C. parish listing in a number of ways. I have not tried to list the counties that the closest post town is found in and I have not tried to compare this listing either with the 1836 listing or the 1931 listing.

I have however, included extra information on the Diocese as found in the 1846 Roman Catholic Directory on convents and nunneries or academies if mentioned - or, as it is put in the directory - 'The State of Religion'

This convent is in a most flourishing state, and its prospects are most cheering. It is now a year and a half since the foundation stone was laid, and its numbers are now over a dozen religious, not second to those of any other convent in zeal and efficiency. The number of poor children in the magnificent school is 700; and the truly good and holy sisters are indefatigable in their attendance on the destitute sick.

In addition to the religious and education establishments of this diocese, mentioned in a preceding number of the Registry, we are gratified at being enabled to state, that a seminary for the instruction of Catholic youth was founded in the course of the last year, under the patronage of the Bishop, the Right Rev. Doctor Murphy, and under the superintendence of the Rev. Michael O'Sullivan. The building erected for this object, possesses superior accommodation for educational purposes, being the noble edifice which had been formerly the Mansion House of this city. Such as establishment had been for a long time a 'desideratum' in a city, where notwithstanding the exellent provision made for the education of the poor of both sexes by the members of the Presentation Order and Christian Schools and for females of the middle and upper classes by the Ursuline community and the Sisters of Mercy, there was no institution of a religious character for the training and instruction of boys in the same rank of life.

Total for Diocese: Bishop: 1; Parish Priests: 33 ; Curates: 46; Chapels: 84; College or seminaries: 1; Convents: 5; Nunneries: 6; Monasteries: 2.
