Item 5/1/2/30 - St. Joseph's Retreat, Cloonamahon: Collooney:

Letter

St. Joseph's Retreat, Cloonamahon: Collooney: copy letter from Owen Meredith Tweedy, St. Ermins, Westminister to Fr. Stephen Lavery, C.P. The family is agreeable to present the old bowl (now used as a holy water stoop in the octagonal church) to the monastery. Family tradition is that it was found under a big tree (now Bishop Harte's ash) which stood in front of the farmhouse door (see item under serial number 8138 in Photographic Archive for photograph of that tree). The bowl was treasured by the family because of its alleged connection with the old pre-reformation monastery at Cloonamahon.
