Young people are also recognised for the positive contribution they make in their local communities.
Annagh volunteers and donates her time in support of Down Syndrome Ireland. To raise awareness about Down Syndrome, Annagh and her sister, organised a garden party in their home in Cavan to raise money for Down Syndrome.

Bailieborough News Thursday 4th February 2016
/in News /by Liz FlemingBailieborough News. February 4th 2016. Matthew J. Cullen.
Rev. Damien Kivlehan R.I.P
It was with great sadness that the parish received the news of the death of Deacon Damien Kivlehan on Tuesday morning last. Damien was ordained a deacon on the 5th of October, 2014 and took up his appointment here in this parish the following month. Ill health, unfortunately, limited Damien’s involvement during the ensuing fourteen months but he assisted at weekend Masses in St. Anne’s and ministered to the residents of Fairlawns Nursing Home. His work here enabled us to add an extra slot for Baptisms on Saturday afternoons, he also attended and contributed to the Baptismal preparation meetings in recent months and always made sure to be present for Pastoral Council meetings. His friendly and warm personality will be sadly missed among us.
Damien was born in 1953 in Strandhill, Co. Sligo and he spent most of his working life in the Navy and the Army. He was involved in many local organisations in Cootehill, where he lived, and was a Town Councillor there serving as Lord Mayor in 2012. As a parish we extend our deepest sympathies to his wife Margaret, his daughters Connie, Carrie and Norrie, his sons Richard, Damian, Adrian, Keith and Garth, his mother Norrie, his brothers and sisters and to all his extended family and friends. May he rest in peace.
St. Anne’s Church Carpark:
