The entire community will be sad to see Archdeacon Hazel move to another Parish. She was a lovely lady who extended the hand of friendship to everyone. 

Fr Andrew Tully P.P. Killeshandra was in the congregation while Fr John Mc Mahon joined everyone later in the Breffni Arms Hotel for a beautiful meal. 

She was the recipient of a number of presentations from the parishioners while her husband Barry also received a presentation. 

We wish Archdeacon Hazel and Barry continued good health and God’s Blessings as she moves to Swanlinbar and hopefully she will return to Arva many times in the future.
