A Suggestion from The Pastoral Council: The special character of Good Friday has changed in recent years. Following a recent Pastoral Council discussion, it was suggested that businnesses in the Parish—in Bailieborough and Shercock—might revive the tradition of closing their doors during the Holy Hour between 3pm and 4pm on Good Friday, the time when Christ died. In this way, all will be reminded that Good Friday is not an ordinary day, but rather a day of great solemnity. It is interesting to note, that even the United States Stock Exchange (Wall St.) and stock markets around the world are entirely closed on Good Friday.

East Cavan Gaels GAA Club – Hurling News 3rd April 2023:
Cavan NHL Victory; Historic days for hurling in Cavan are rare indeed so Saturday was a very significant day as Cavan, with ECG men to the fore, won the NHL Division 3B title overcoming favorites Leitrim in an exciting game in Abbotstown. Exceptional displays by our own Canice Maher and Nicky Kenny in scoring and fiercely dogged work by Jack Barry and Colin Gargan in helping create the platform for what is a significant success for this squad. Also congratulations to Rory Farrell and Tadhg Barry who will also pick up NHL winners medals and not forgetting Cian McEntee and Conor Walsh who were part of the extended panel. The prospect of operating at the higher level in 2024 is one they all look forward to and we have more lads who will be chomping at the bit to get into the squad next year so things are looking up!
For the third week in a row our club Spring League game was postponed due to the continuing wet conditions. Hopefully things will improve as we move through the Spring.
Under 11/13/15/17; All lads on a week off for the holidays. The Under 15s will return next week as the Tain Og League begins on the 12th April.
Under 7/9; Our Mullagh groups brought the indoor part of the season to an end on Thursday last. This has been a very popular addition to the indoor rota and we look forward to its return later in the year. The Killinkere group as usual had another fantastic 30 week block of hurling and both sets of groups will move to our outdoor sessions in Bailieborough after the Easter break.

/in News /by Liz FlemingSt. Patrick’s Day Parade: On Friday afternoon last, St. Patrick’s Day, the first St. Patrick’s Day Parade since 2018 took place in the town. From early morning the volunteers got everything in place, so that the event would run as planned. The weather was overcast and drizzly before the Parade started but the rain held off for the Parade itself. Local musician and singer, Shane McCluskey provided musical entertainment before the Parade started and kept the large crowd entertained. The Parade started on time and Master of Ceremonies for the day, Mr. Paddy Sheanon, kept the banter going to the amusement of the participants and the large crowd present. On the viewing stand were local politicians, dignitaries and members of the clergy. Many local businnesses took part, along with the vintage cars, tractors and motorcycles but the highlight of the Parade, was the amount of children taking part, with their clubs and organisations.
The organising committee would like to say, a huge ‘Thank You’ to everyone that volunteered, donated, participated and spectated at the Parade – it’s always great to see such a strong community spirit..
Congratulations to this years winners:
Best Window – La Mirage.
Best Comedy Float – The Playcentre, Kingscourt.
Best Club – Lakelands Taekwondo, Bailieborough.
Best Overall Float – Shields Hire.
Thank you very much to Bubbles Balloons, Bailieborough for decorating the stage for Friday’s event and to Chris Curry for supplying the viewing platform. Thank you to Kinnear Construction for providing us with the tractor and trailer and Jamie Benson for driving it. So, here’s to next year and hopefully a bigger and better Parade with the help of some much needed new volunteers!
