Bell
and the Ark:
The programme deals with a visit to two fishing
villages in West Clare: - Quilty and Kilbaha.
Each has a little church that contains a strange
relic of the past. A ship's bell resides in
Quilty while a wooden mass hut is contained
in Kilbaha. The story behind these relics
is told in this programme.
Fr. Theobald Matthew:
This is a biography in words and pictures
of the Capuchin friar, Fr. Theobald Matthew
who achieved world fame as the "Apostle of
Temperance". He has been recognised as "the
man who lifted a nation off its knees". Sadly
Fr. Matthew died believing that his work had
failed, and not realising that others would
follow him and build firmly on the strong
foundations which he laid. |
