History of Name
Historians have said that St. Patrick met Muldowney when he made his cross country trip from Rome to Ireland. The story goes, that St. Patrick advised the Muldowney clan of his message and Muldowney refused to adhere to a new thought process. One of the young Muldowney boys whom was know for his cross bow skill was asked by the elder, to shoot St. Patrick died if he did not leave thier land. St. Patrick threw out his arms, said that he was devine and asked for God to shield him. The skillful young marksman Muldowney, ended up shooting a couple shots from his cross bow and missed everytime. As the story goes, that began the Christian movement that swept the country within a few short years.
The name Muldowney is found both in Ireland and Scotland. In Ireland it appears as the name of a sept akin to the MOLONYS, while in Scotland it was more commonly a personal rather than a surname. The origin of the name is the Gaelic O MAOLDOMNAIGH, meaning "Sunday's servant" or "Devotee of the Church."
In Gaelic the prefix "maol" means "servant" and stems from a word meaning "cropped" in the sense of "close-cropped hair." Close-cropped hair was a mark of a servile position among the Gaels whose nobles wore their hair long. When the Christianization of the Gaels took place, the prefix was often added to the personal names of popular saints to indicate an individual devoted to a saint.
In Ireland the Gaelic name MAOLDOMNAIGH has been variously anglicized as MULDOWNEY, MacGILDOWNEY, GILDOWNEY, MacDOWNEY, and DOWNEY, as well as MOLONY. The names MULDOWNEY and MOLONY were often synonymous and Malachy O'MOLONY, the first Bishop of Kilmacduagh from 1570 to 1610, was also called MULDOWNEY. In Kilkenny, in the barony of Fassadinin, the census of 1659 lists MULLOWNEY AND MULDOWNEY AS one name.
The MULDOWNEYS were part of the Dalcassian troops of the Royal House of O'BRIEN. The arms depicted above is recorded under the synonymous name MOLONY, and would seem to indicate their reputation as warriors.
The name is also common in Scottish records where it was more often a personal rather than a last name. In Skye it was given as a personal name to a boy whose care was provided for from the Sunday collection.

Go Green Challenge
Check out the article here: http://www.apollogrp.edu/gogreen/3.6_gem.asp
Travis Muldowney, an enrollment counselor with University of Phoenix Online and Axia College, is a strong believer that the individual choices we make every single day have the potential to make a big impact on the environment. And he actively practices his belief. For example, he enables power management on all his computer monitors, washes his clothes in cold water, instead of hot, when possible, and even downsized from a v-8 to a v-6, saving fuel and money in the process.
Following the recent announcement of University of Phoenix's partnership with Salt River Project (SRP), the nation's third-largest public power utility, to purchase 46.5 million kilowatt-hours of renewable energy certificates, Travis took his dedication to the next level.
"I was inspired by the University of Phoenix's commitment to using green generated energy, so I followed suit. Once I read of the purchase details, I called my energy provider and asked them what I could do to go green."
After considering the options presented to him—choosing a plan that uses 35%, 50%, or 100% green energy - Muldowney elected to participate in the 100% green energy plan. "I figured that the small additional cost of $.01 per unit to go green at home for energy was minuscule to the positive effects that my decision will play on the environment."
Muldowney represents a growing trend among Apollo Group employees towards subtle green evangelism and the belief that each and every person has the power to change things for the better in their everyday lives. Muldowney believes that by making small modifications and eco-friendly choices, individuals can become a force of change.
“Just do something, take that first step,” he says. “If everyone takes a small step, it will add up to a great result.”

My sister passed away this year on April 8th, 2008. She was one of most unselfishness people that I have ever known. She spent most of her adult life assisting children in the community as an early childhood teacher. Memories of her growing up were of her playing with dolls, taking caring of me and teaching me about the rights and wrongs of life. Her memory is as fresh in my mind as they have ever been and I deeply miss her. She was stern with her empathy to help others, as she always knew what was best and would always expect others to do what was ethical. Her touch and disposition will live on forever within my heart. Until I am able to see her again, I have the pleasure to see her 4 wonderful children; Tori, Abby, Hayden and Andrew. Our family will celebrate her life on Dec. 29th by donating money to a cancer research fund. Please keep posted for more information on the fund we choose, as any donation to that fund will be appreciated.
