Mission Statement

St Kieran’s College, as Ireland’s oldest Catholic Secondary School and Diocesan College, continues its founding aim of the pursuit of real excellence in education and faith formation, in the light of the Gospel, so as to allow all our students, and all who visit the College or avail of its many services on or off-campus, to realise the fullness of their God-given potential.

Academically, spiritually, physically and emotionally, all we engage with, through the school and our many diocesan initiatives, are encouraged to strive for all that is possible in the relentless pursuit of perfecting their individual gifts and talents, their knowledge, and their relationship with God.

In so doing they bring to life the joy intended by our motto, “Hiems Transiit”, for themselves, those they love, and our Diocesan community where they will live, serve and lead.
