Waterford's Heritage Few previous visitors would dispute the magnificent tourist attractions which lie in abundance throughout Waterford City and County. The unique blend of vibrant youth and historic significance make a visit to Waterford an unforgettable experience. Both City and County alike are rich in early archaeological sites of interest. Recommended guide books include the Country Guide, published by South East Tourism and, for additional reading, Harbison's Guide to National Monuments, 1992. ABBEYS, CATHEDRALS, CHURCHES AND ROUND TOWERS Ardmore The Munster Bishop, St. Declan, founded the earliest Monastery here, apparently before the arrival of Saint Patrick. The nearby Round Tower - 95 feet high - and the richness of the carvings on the 13th century "Cathedral" are indeed unusual. Sir Walter Raleigh leased these buildings in 1591 for a short period. Ardmore recently won the accolade - Ireland's Tidiest Town. Dungarvan The Augustinian Abbey, Abbeyside. Originally constructed circa 1290, by a group from Clare Priory in Suffolk. The Tower dates from the 15th Century. Lismore This Heritage Town contains a double monastery, founded by Saint Carthage in the seventh century. Richard II visited here in 1171 and stayed for two days. The present Carthage Cathedral dates from 1633. Its imposing avenue, the Church itself and the range of fine medieval tombs are of great significance.

St. Declan, son of Erc, chief of the Desii, was born at the beginning of the fifth century near Lismore, Co. Waterford. As a young boy he was sent to fosterage with a certain Dimma, who is said to have been a foreigner and a Christian. While under Dimma's guardianship, Declan was converted and baptised by one of the several Irish saints named Colman. After leaving Dimma, Declan went to Rome, where he studied for the priesthood and was later consecrated bishop. On his return to Ireland, he established a monastic community at Ardmore and was later confirmed in this office by St. Patrick himself. Surpising as it may seem, Declan was well known as an active missionary in Ireland prior to the coming of St. Patrick, the great organiser of Irish Christianity.

Most belong to the period 400-800 AD when Christianity was being rooted and re-rooted in Western Europe, but the inclusion of some moderns shows that there are still many Irish saints about - all covered by the blanket Feast of All Saints of Ireland, which is solemnised each year on 6 November. Brendan of Birr (d. 573) was a contemporary of St Brendan the Voyager and a friend of Colum Cille, who had a vision of his body being carried to heaven by angels. His foundation was at Parsonstown in County Offaly. His feast day is 29 November. Brigid aka Bride (c. 450 - 525) Cathal aka Cathaldus (d. c. 681) was born in Munster and studied at, and eventually became master of, Lismore. He is said to have been asked to fill the vacant see of Taranto in southern Italy c. 666 on his way home from a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and for the remainder of his life he served as its prelate. He is venerated still in Taranto, where his huge statue guards the port and a fresh water stream in the bay is known as l'annello di san Cathaldo, the ring of St Cathaldus, as it marks the place where he is believed to have stilled a storm by throwing his ring into the sea. He was the patron saint of the Italian army during World War 1, and his feast day is 10 May.

Spiritual Living Previous Next Contents Early Celtic Soul Friendship Part Three By looking at the Lives of the early Celtic saints Ed Sellner gives a detailed description of what soul-friendship entailed. Among other things it involved great affection, intimacy, mutuality and challenge. By Edward Sellner M ain sources for an understanding of the anamchara are the Lives of the early Celtic saints. For more than six centuries, from the 600s to well beyond 1200 C.E., monastic hagiographers in the Celtic churches of Ireland, Northern England, Cornwall, Scotland, Wales, the Isle of Man, and Brittany composed the Lives of literally hundreds of Celtic saints. As well as the two traditions of spiritual guidance that shaped this form of ministry, hagiographies provide a wealth of information about soul friendship and its immersion in the everyday life and spirituality of Celtic Christianity. These writings reveal how common soul-friend relationships were between men and men, women and women, and women and men and, as the story of Brigit and the young cleric in part one of this series shows, the importance of everyone having a soul friend, including the laity. The symbolic language of these hagiographies also offers, I believe, insights into the meaning of soul-friend relationships that transcend that early history. Soul friend relationships are characterised by mutuality: a profound respect for each other's wisdom, despite any age or gender difference, and the awareness that the other person is a sourcey

On the completion of seven years Declan was taken from his parents and friends and fosterers to be sent to study as Colman had ordained. It was to Dioma they sent him, a certain devout man perfect in the faith, who had come at that time by God's design into Ireland having spent a long period abroad in acquiring learning. He (Dioma) built in that place a small cell wherein he might instruct Declan and dwell himself. There was given him also, to instruct, together with Declan, another child, scil., Cairbre Mac Colmain, who became afterwards a holy learned bishop. Both these were for a considerable period pursuing their studies together. 6. There were seven men dwelling in Magh Sgiath, who frequently saw the fiery globe which it has been already told they first beheld at the time of Declan's birth. It happened by the Grace of God that they were the first persons to reveal and describe that lightning. These seven came to the place where Declan abode and took him for their director and master. They made known publicly in the presence of all that, later on, he should be a bishop and they spoke prophetically:-"The day, O beloved child and servant of God, will come when we shall commit ourselves and our lands to thee." And it fell out thus (as they foretold), for, upon believing, they were baptised and became wise, devout (and) attentive and erected seven churches in honour of God around Magh Sgiath.

TCM Archives Carlow Nationalist Monday, October 08, 2001 : FRONT NEWS SPORT LOCAL NEWS ... OTHER NEWS St Mullins’ saint remembered in new book A NEW BOOK on the life of Saint Moling, the early Irish saint whose name is perpetuated in St Mullins, South Carlow, was launched on Thursday last, September 27, in the council offices of Carlow Co. Council The book was launched by Bishop Laurence Ryan who is, of course, a native of Ballycriggin, St. Mullins. Sr. de Paor, also known as Sr. Declan, is a member of the Presentation community in Bagenalstown. In her study of the ancient manuscript she shows how it is an impressive literary work, comparable to some of the classical Greek and Roman texts. Moling was born in 614 in Sliabh Luachra, Co. Kerry, and was baptised and educated by the priest Collanach. When he was aged 17, he was put to a great test involving an encounter with an Evil Phantom with ‘his black, ugly, deformed household’. According to the author, the language used to describe the episode was typical of that used in mythological sagas to describe heroes. Following this saga, Collanach realised that Moling was the one he had heard about in a prophecy, and so he sent him to prepare for the monastic way of life.
