- First Holy Communion day on the island of Inishbofin.
‘Sailing to an Island’ follows a Galway hooker from Cleggan, on Connemara’s Atlantic Coast to the island of Inishbofin.
The programme is narrated by Anthony Ross using poet Richard Murphy’s poem ‘The Cleggan Disaster’ from his 1963 collection ‘Sailing to an Island’.
The extract here shows Holy Communion day on Inishbofin, follows the children and their families as they emerge from the church and follows the clergy as they leave the island by boat.
Richard Murphy moved to Cleggan in the 1950s and bought and renovated the ‘Ave Maria’, one of the few remaining fishing boats. He later moved to Inishbofin where he remained for twenty years, writing poems inspired by aspects of life facing the local fishing community.
This episode of ‘Discovery’ was broadcast on 1 November 1965. The programme was produced and directed by Kevin Sheldon and Peter Kennerley.
‘Discovery’ was a documentary series broadcast on RTÉ between 1964 and 1967. The series which first aired on 14 January 1964, touched on many aspects of Irish life with an occasional spotlight on events of particular interest.

Give Us Back The old roads
No problem take any road you wish 20miles outside Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania and you will have to cope with some of the best dirt roads in the world with th 2ft deep trenches and full of potholes, you will love it driving there especially during the rainy season,

And my lovely wife Marian O'Halloran on what was her Confirmation day.
❤❤ good old days
A very special holy and beautiful day for those 3 girls on their communion day, all the people of the area turned up at church in the best Sunday going to mass clothes and polished leather shoes, and not a horrible trainer to be seen, Even The Old Man Of The Sea Fr Spencer Tracy attended on this special day before heading back out to high sea to fight that big fish that he caught and strapped to his old rowing boat
I am sure they all walked up to Day's for a mineral and a packet crisps, pints of plain, first.
How could you talk like that, it was a holy day
😂😂😂
Great days,no asylum seekers to be seen,we were poorer material wise, but very rich in community spirit, and we'were an independent country.
If you think 1960"s Ireland was better you're having a laugh! Majority of Irish folks were seeking better lives abroad and, for the most part, were made welcome and did well. Simpler times with what the Catholic church were doing to our young? Such rubbish!
The Irish people who emigrated worked damn hard, not like these asylum seekers, who get everything free, that's why they fly half way around the world to get here, it's no coincidence how violent crime has risen so much in the last few years.
What a disgusting statement to make. 1965 in Ireland saw catholic priests abusing children and young adults. Saw catholic moral teaching into civil law. Consensual gay sex was illegal. No contraception. A population who kissed the arse of the catholic church, and gave them their money and freedom. No, this isn't the Ireland anyone should want to go back to
A priest shouldnt have to carry his suitcase
Maybe you just don't understand, it was done out of respect and for the love for God good priests on earth, who is going to bless you, hear all your bad sins and give you forgiveness, A priest is going to stand over your coffin and say prayers and bless you, he is going to stand beside your grave and ask God to forgive you for all the wrongs you did in life and ask that your soul is directed into the Kingdom of Heaven, This holy and blessed priest will do all that you, even after your cheap insult, they will forgive you sins and they will not charge you a penny, Who else would do all this for you and not ask you for a single penny in payment
@@jamesbradshaw3389 read my txt again as you seem to have misunderstood ....a priest is a holy man and he should not have to carry his own suitcase ...or anything for that matter....that's disrespectful ...in the east people show all holy men the greatest respect and are eager to carry their belongings
Call no man father. Throw away your sandals , money bags and walking stick and follow me.
@@Woke_Imperialist6066 this is an instruction given to a rich man who was attached to his wealth and position...not every instruction applies to all...the man who is not attached to his wealth and follows God is not advised to throw away his belongings ...different strokes for different folks.
And it's not practical for a man in the desert to throw away his sandals as the sun makes the sand red hot to walk on barefooted
Jesus had a father ...what did he call him
To call someone your father is a sign of respect
@@alllovingcowherdboy4475 He gave his talks on hillsides and caves. The only time he went into a temple was to throw people out for buying and selling in it. Don’t try to snake around it. Business does not have three S letters in it for nothing sss 🐍
