Constitution

“The Maynooth Union was founded on the 27th of June 1895, at a meeting held during the Centenary Celebration of St. Patrick’s College, Maynooth. The object of the Union is to foster a spirit of mutual sympathy between the college and its past students and friends. For this purpose their will be an annual reunion at Maynooth. Old friends will thus be brought together and memories of College Days will be revived and questions of interest will be discussed”
Constitution of Maynooth Union, June 23rd, 1896
