Irish Americans are among the most generous in the world — the evidence is there in the World Giving Index. But why? Kieran McConville works with Concern Worldwide, an international humanitarian agency with its roots in Ireland, offices in the US, and a mission to eliminate extreme poverty across the world. That job has given him a unique perspective on both the challenges faced by vulnerable communities across Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean, and the remarkable generosity of those who support them.

My name is Chris Baur. I was sent some early letters regarding the life of Cardinal John Farley of New York, and noticed this first one was written by Kieran McConville. My mother believed that the Cardinal’s mother, Catherine Murphy, was the sister to my mother’s great grandmother, Anne Murphy. this would have made her grandmother his cousin. I was just reaching out to see if I could get lucky and get some guidance on trying to confirm this. Would appreciate any help. … Thanks, Chris Baur
Just wanted to add that I do have a picture of Anne Murphy, who my mom believed was the sister to Cardinal John Murphy’s mother Catherine. Thanks…..Chris Baur
