:''There are other places called Meelick in County Clare and County Mayo. Meelick (''Míleac'' in Irish) is a townland on the River Shannon in Ireland. It lies some 4 km southeast of Eyrecourt in County Galway. == Oldest Catholic Church in use == Meelick has the oldest Irish Roman Catholic church with continuous use since 1414 AD.〔(Diocese of Clonfert, Ireland )〕 Originally founded as a Franciscan abbey, the church and sacristy are still in use today. The ruins include traces of the transept chapel, friary and small mill. Papal permission for Meelick friary was granted by John XXII in 1414. The last friar of Meelick was Fr. Bonaventure Francis Reynolds. When he died in November 1852, there was no friar available to replace him. Since then the church has been maintained for weekly services. The Meelick Triduum still exists in early August when the Franciscans return to their abbey. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Meelick, County Galway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
