This seal or stamp is on a letter from a RC  priest  in  ireland to a rellie to prove that he'd been babtised so that he could marry .Is this the name of a church in the stamp I've tried google the name cordis but nothing come up that seem to point to a church .the letter was sent about 1895 and the baptism was in 1869

Hi

the bit I can read looks like "Ecclesia parochialis" so that means the church in a certain area = parochialis.

Unfortunately I can't make out the other bit.

I'm no expert and my Latin is almost non-existant but looks like the writing around the seal/stamp is "Cicil_ Eccl_e Parochialis" which might be [St.] Cecilia's? Parish Church in English? but perhaps it's no Cecilia.
www.arklow.ie/community/masses.asp (can't see one listed here but maybe someone in one of the local churches can help).

Maybe something in these records?:

Think I've got it! Cordis is Latin for heart and there's a letter or two before it so I put "Churches Arles" into Google and.... Scared Heart Church in Arles!:

Arles is a small place outside Carlow but in Co Laois.  Reading the Certificate the priest was in Arles.  Hope this helps you
