/in News /by PetraNew Mural in the Playground: Congratulations to all the young people involved in curating and producing the stunning new mural advocating positive Mental Health, which has recently been erected in our local playground to remind our children the importance of good mental health. Thank you to the local Foroige young workers Alma McCabe and Sharon Ivers working alongside our local Gardai in the community – Juvenile Liason Officer, Garda Edel Gilliland, Garda Ciara Logue, Garda Sarra Hadi, Student Garda Lorna Reilly and Garda Lisa Stephens. Congratulations to artist Elaine Agnew for her curatorial work on this project and to Henry Rogers for his constant help in the local community and in particular placing this beautiful piece of artwork in the playground ably assisted by Martin Brady. Cavan Foroige District Council
St. Annes: Temporary Curate for the Parish: Bishop Martin Hayes has decided to appoint a temporary Curate to the Parish, who will be based in Shercock. Fr. Peter Okpetu—who is currently working in Cavan Parish—will come to Killann Parish from the beginning of September until Christmas. It is hoped that another Priest will then take over from January until Easter 2022. The Bishop would like to make a more permanent appointment to Shercock next summer and hopefully that will come to pass. Without a Priest based in Shercock, the pastoral area of Killann, Knockbride and Kilmainhamwood and Moybologue cannot function. The extra Priest in Shercock means that there is an extra man who can provide cover in the surrounding Parishes in the event of sickness, at holiday time and when the unanticipated occurs.
For the time being, it will be great to have the help and support of Fr. Peter from September until Christmas. We hope he will receive a warm welcome when he arrives. His generosity in agreeing to move from Cavan for three months during the Parish’s time of need is much appreciated by Fr. Ultan.
