The Dublin man who led Louth GAA to its first Leinster Championship success in nearly 70 years is set to speak at the annual Graiguecullen Killeshin Parish Novena.
Ger, a two-time All-Ireland title winner with Dublin, achieved further sporting fame this summer as the manager of Louth team that defeated Meath in the Leinster GAA Gaelic Football Championship final in Croke Park. In a feat similar to Mick O'Dwyer with Laois in 2003, the victor saw Louth bridge 68 year wait to lift the Delaney Cup.
He was part of the victorious Dublin squad that won the 2011 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. He won an All-Ireland with Dublin for a second time in 2013, scoring two points in the final against Mayo.
He is also well known for his strong religious faith. From a family of nine in Dublin's north inner city, he attended the Gardiner Street Church in Dublin.
Graiguecullen Killeshin Parish says that from a young age he had that great sense of belonging in his parish. MORE BELOW PHOTO.
“I am someone who believes strongly in Jesus Christ, I believe in God incarnate, and I believe that Jesus is the example, the X-Factor, for people to follow their lives by,” he said in a note to members of the Laois Carlow border community in the Leinster Express / Laois Live.

He is the guest speaker at the event on Monday, June 16.
The Parish invites people to place their petitions in the petition boxes in St Clare’s Church or send them by email to gkparish@gmail.com. Through the prayers of our faith community and the intercession of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, we ask Jesus to relieve whatever burdens we carry. The rosary will be recited at 7.10pm and Mass begins at 7.30pm.
