The Soraghan/Sullivans lived in the Roman Catholic Parish of Denn.  The following is  from the Parish of Denn's Website:

Introduction

Welcome to the Roman Catholic parish of Denn. Denn is a rural parish of lovely drumlin hills which is located in the diocese of Kilmore and the county of Cavan in Ireland 

 

The parish is tucked-in between the towns of Cavan and Ballyjamesduff and the two small mountains Slieve Glath and Ardkill. The village of Crosskeys is situated near the centre of the parish.
 
We hope that this website will help you to learn more about our parish. You will learn about our two churches, St Matthew’s in Drumavaddy and St Matthew’s in Crosskeys. You will learn about Mass times and the weekly parish newsletter will keep you up to date on what is happening. You will also learn about the parish personnel - the priests and people on the various parish committees.   
 
We welcome especially all natives of Denn who are living elsewhere in Ireland or scattered throughout the world. We hope that this website will help to keep you in touch with your native parish. We hope too that those whose parents or ancestors come from this parish will learn more about their origins.  This website will direct you where to contact if you wish to learn more about parish records relating to your ancestors. We hope that those too whose parents or ancestors come from this parish will learn more about their place of origin.

When I was in Ireland, I visited both Churches.  It is believed the church in Drumavaddy is most likely the church the Soraghans would have frequented as it is closer to where they lived.

St. Matthew, Drumavaddy

  Both Churches have been recently renovated.
