The Adult Faith Development group was established in September 2009 to support, encourage and offer parish and diocesan initiatives that contribute towards the faith development of the members of our diocese. This group, in collaboration with other diocesan bodies, seeks to work towards an increased engagement in our parishes as living faith communities. It aims to do this by offering tiered educational formation and training for the members of our parish communities while at the same time always seeking to reach out to new participants.

Well done to our TY students who took part in the BT Young Scientist Competition 2023
Our students were delighted to join with the other schools and so many from our Diocese, and beyond, to celebrate the Ordination of Bishop Niall Coll as the 96th Bishop of the Diocese of Ossory and as such our school Patron.
St Kieran’s College is one of just 20 schools in the country selected to pilot the introduction of the Active School Flag programme to Post-Primary schools in Ireland. Our Active School Flag (ASF) Team are busy planning ways to make our whole school community more active, more often.
