Revd. Canon William J KELLY

Born ABT 1856, Ireland
Died 9 September 1934
Menevia Diocese, South Wales. 1891 Parish Priest in Eyton & Plowden, Lydbury, Ludlow (Near Shrewsbury)
Between 1840 and 1900 thousands crossed the Irish sea to escape the devastating famine and to find work in the burgeoning industrial Welsh towns. The remarkable growth of the Catholic Church in Wales in the nineteenth century has long been recognised as the result of this immigration from Ireland. During the twentieth century, however, the numbers of Catholics in the Principality continued to grow quite dramatically. In 1926, a newspaper in Detroit, Michigan, noted that "the Archdiocese of Cardiff is on the way to becoming one of the most important Catholic strongholds in Great Britain" (quoted in St. Peter's Parish Magazine, 4 (2) (1924), 37) and by 1960 the Western Mail (15 February, 1960, 4) could still write of typical "crowded Catholic churches, where the congregation spills over into the aisles and there are not enough chairs to go around". Statistics support such contemporary reports. In the inter-war years, while the Welsh population actually decreased in size, the Catholic Church increased by 64%, from 67,560 to 105,580.
