Since 1795, St. Patrick’s College Maynooth has been the National Seminary of Ireland. It has a proud and unique tradition of service to the Church in Ireland and throughout the world. That tradition of service and formation for ministry continues today. The Seminary prepares seminarians for priesthood in the Dioceses of Ireland.
“The seminary years are a time of journeying, of exploration, but above all of discovering Christ. It is only when a young man has had a personal experience of Christ that he can truly understand the Lord’s will and consequently his own vocation”
Pope Benedict XVI, Address to Seminarians (World Youth Day 2005)
The College celebrated Foundation Day on Monday May 2nd this year. Families and friends of students joined us for Mass, lunch and various activities on this day. The day also included our annual Past v Present soccer match.
