Thanks: We say a sincere thanks to Niall Gormley who produced a newsletter for the GAA AGM with all the relevant information on what is happening on the Hurling front in this area. Arva is joined with Cornafean, Lacken and Ballinagh to form St Felim’s Hurling Club and over the past couple of years they have won the Ulster Féile ns nGeal competition and represented Cavan and Ulster in the All Ireland Finals which were held in Ennis, Co Clare and Galway. Niall had great praise for the new Cavan Hurling Development Officer Eoin Morrissey from Waterford who is doing Trojan work in getting hurling on a sound footing within the county. Last year Ryan Magarahan and Rory Mulligan won Ulster Féile medals with the U-14 team while Danny Conneely and Enda Gormley have been regulars on the U-16 team. Niall would like to get more people involved and will be organising training on Saturday mornings – full details later.

Visitation’s: Parishioners are asked to note that if anyone has a family member in Hospital who would like a Pastoral visit from their local clergy please contact them with Ward details etc. Due to data protection legislation hospitals are not now allowed to give Patient lists to Priests – so they have no way of knowing if a Parishioner is in hospital. Eucharistic Adoration in the Church of the Sacred Heart, Arva following the 7 o’clock Mass on Monday evenings. The beautiful practice of taking Holy Communion from the Parish ass to family members or other parishioners unable to attend is strongly encouraged. This Sacred custom goes back to the very earliest days of the Church. Would anyone have a Pyx at home that they no longer need??
