Clerical Changes:  Bishop Martin Hayes announced the new clergy appointments last week and these have implications for our Parish. Fr. Ultan McGoohan in addition to remaining Parish Priest of Killann, has also been appointed as Administrator of the Parish of Kilmainhamwood– Moybologue. Fr. Thomas Small has been appointed as a curate in Kilmainhamwood/ Moybologue and will also assist in the wider pastoral area of Killann and Knockbride, as the need arises.

Fr. Antony Kidarathil, our curate based in Shercock, will be returning home to India in the Spring and will not be replaced in the short term, at least. This will mean that from 2025, Fr. Ultan will be the only priest in Killann Parish, while having additional responsibilities in Kilmainhamwood/Moybologue. In the space of 20 years, we have gone from three priests in the Parish, to two and now shortly to one!

The challenge is to make this new reality work and to make it manageable. It has implications for the Mass schedule but also for all areas of Parish Pastoral work. Fr. Ultan proposes to discuss these matters with the Pastoral Council in September and working together, hopefully they can plan a way forward.

Senior; Cavan SHC Final

All roads lead to Kingspan Breffni on Bank Holiday Sunday next week as the lads look to make amends for last years defeat in the final. Cootehill now looking down the barrel of four in a row so our lads, again, will have it all to do if they are to secure their maiden championship in their second final. Best wishes to manager Adam Baldwin and to the team. They have prepared well to this point and we wish them all the very best.
