1. Our Parish - How it Received its Name

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   Black midnights storm around the royal barque had gathered
   Of Pembroke and fair Isabelle his queen.
   Mastless a wreck
   unw[crossed out]helmed Saint Davids
   frowning head betwee
   Roused from blissful sleep down knelt
   the Earl marshel then
   Round knelt wife and men and in the lightening's glare
   He prayed this heartfelt prayer "Oh save
   or we perish in tempest tonight
   For his sake who uttered the glad words to save His
   ship and servants on Galilees wave
   Oh save and I will build to Thy glory alone
   an altar of gold in an Abbey of stone
   An altar and abbey, a church and a shrine.

   This poem describes how the Earl of Pembroke when crossing from his home in Wales to Ireland was caught in a storm. He promised that if he were saved he would build a monastery where he landed exactly like the one in Tintern in Wales. He landed safely and built the monastery. From it the parish got its name in later years.
