Basic question--how to find Catholic parish?

    This is a basic research question.  How do I find the Catholic parish for a specific townland, civil parish or PLU or DED?  I do have subscriptions to various sites--Ancestry, John Grenham and more--but can't find out how to do this quickly and easily so I can search Catholic parish records when I have only a civil placename.
    Specifically, right now I'm searching for my possible Frawly/Frawley ancestors.  I have DNA clues leading to--
    [font=Times New Roman","serif]Kilbarry[/font][font=Times New Roman","serif] townland is in the Electoral Division of [/font][font=Times New Roman","serif]Castlecor[/font][font=Times New Roman","serif], in Civil Parish of [/font][font=Times New Roman","serif]Kilbrin[/font][font=Times New Roman","serif], in the Barony of [/font][font=Times New Roman","serif]Duhallow[/font][font=Times New Roman","serif], in the County of [/font][font=Times New Roman","serif]Cork[/font].  That is taken from townlands.ie.  Some DNA matches on Ancestry point there but not confirmed yet.  So I'd like to search the early to mid 19c Catholic records for Kilbarry townland in ???? parish.  Ballyclough?  Thanks very much.

    Shane Wilson's parish finder might help.

    Lots of other useful items on the site too.
