A Commemorative 1916 Mass
for Sean Mc Dermott and Tom Clarke
The Church of the Sacred Heart, Arbour Hill Dublin 7.
Date: May 12th 2016 at 6.30 pm
26.04.16
A very special commemorative Mass will be offered, in The Church of the Sacred Heart Arbour Hill (Church of the Defence Forces) for Sean Mc Dermott & for Tom Clarke on May 12th at 6.30 pm
This is planned for this specific date, because this was the exact date that Sean Mc Dermott was executed in May 1916.
Father Tom Colreavy will celebrate the Mass.
As you know, both men have Leitrim connections. Sean Mc Dermott was from Kiltyclogher & Tom Clarke’s father was from Carrigallen. Our Dublin Branch held an annual mass in Arbour Hill Church, every May, over many years, for both these men.
We would greatly appreciate your assistance in spreading the word about this special Mass by notifying The Leitrim GAA Supporters Club Membership on our behalf.
You can contact me at 087 2564110 if you require any further details.
Yours sincerely,

The Late Seamus Wrynn, Tarmon, Ballinamore and New York
Seamus Wrynn, a native of Tarmon, Ballinamore, who died in New York on Friday last was a well known player for many years with the Ballinamore Club, before emigrating to the USA in the 1950s.
Seamus immediately became involved with the Leitrim Club in New York and remained a loyal supporter long after his playing days.He was also a prominent member of the Leitrim GAA Supporters Club in New York and acted as an official at the many Joe McInerney Golf Classics that raised funds for the Leitrim Club, for Leitrim Co Board and for a number of charities.
Sincere sympathy to his wife Nell and to his family.

The late Frank Heavey, Ballinamore Sean O Heslins and New York
Frank Heavey, one of the greatest footballers to don the Ballinamore Sean O’Heslin’s jersey has died suddenly in New York. Frank played senior football for Leitrim in the early 1980’s and would have been on the team for longer only for emigrating to America during the lean years of the mid 1980s. Frank won three senior football championships with the Ballinamore club. His first was in 1982 and he captained the winning side in 1986. He was in America in 1988 and missed their successful run in the championship but was back playing at centre half forward when they won the final in 1990. He was an outstanding full forward and a gentleman both on the field and off. We extend our deepest sympathies to the Heavey family on their sad loss.
Go ndéana Dia trócaire air.

The late Aiden McGowan, Carns, Grange, Co.Sligo and formerly Melvin Gaels GAA Club.
The death has occurred of former Melvin Gaels GAA stalwart, Aiden McGowan. A retired Primary School Teacher, Aiden was immersed in the GAA all his life. A member of the famed McGowan family of the Melvin Gaels GAA Club, he shared in the considerable upturn in his club’s fortunes in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Melvin Gaels won 4-in-row Leitrim SFC titles 1959-1962.
Off the field Aiden was a most accomplished GAA administrator at all levels from Club to Páirc an Chrócaigh. He was Vice Chairman of Coiste Chontae Liatroma in the mid 1960s. He notably held the positions of Uachtarán Comhairle Connacht 1973-76 and indeed as Senior Leas Uachráran Cumann Lúthchleas Gael had the honour of presenting the Liam McCarthy Cup to winning Kilkenny Captain Billy Fitzpatrick, following their victory over Galway, in 1975. Uachtarán Cumann Luthchleas Gael, the late Donal Keenan was unavoidably absent on that date. He later held the esteemed position of Trustee of Cumann Lúthchleas Gael. Aiden was a lifelong Melvin Gaels GAA man and held many positions on the Club Committee, most recently as Honorary President.
Aiden is sadly missed by his loving wife Kathleen, sons Enda and Brian, daughters Aideen and Orla, brothers Fr. Séamus (Texas), Máirtín, Padraic, Brendan, Kevin and Colm, and extended family and many friends. His remains are reposing at his home on Monday from 3pm to 9pm and on Tuesday from 3pm to 7pm. Removal on Tuesday evening to The Church of Mary Immaculate, Grange, to arrive at 8pm. Requiem Mass on Wednesday at 12 noon with burial afterwards in Ahamlish Cemetery.
