This photograph, show the abandoned Franciscan Third Order friary at Bsunnacurry, Achill, in a sorry state. Sections of the roof have collapsed, the windows are broken, their timbers rotting, and the doors have mostly disappeared. The once neat little church, with a confessional situated at the rear, is now a sad sight, and has obviously been used to house animals. The plaster is falling from the ceiling, and the wallpaper, except for a tiny fragment which still retains its original colours, has been bleached white by the elements, and hangs loosely on the walls. Outside, a short distance away from the friary, is an enclosed graveyard, the last resting place of several members of the order, including the friary founder, Br. Bonaventure McDermott, who died 16th March, 1896, ââ¬Ëin the 50th year of his religious life.ââ¬â¢ The friary was opened in 1852 under the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Tuam, John McHale, who enlisted the help of the brothers in his efforts to combat the influence of the Bible Societies, and Scripture Reading Societies, which had been active in the west of Ireland, particularly during the famine period. Food and other help was given to those Catholics who would renounce their religion and send their children to be educated in the ââ¬Ëcolonyââ¬Ë schools. Many hungry and desperate people in Achill, and elsewhere, took up the offer, and the work of the societies was hailed in Dublin and London as ââ¬Ëthe dawn of a new Reformation in Irelandââ¬Ë.
