Education

Our Education Ministry is varied and multifaceted. We serve adults, refugees and asylum seekers, special needs students, and pre-school, primary and secondary school goers.

In the early years of the congregation the Sisters were Managers and teachers in the schools they founded. Today we are involved at various levels as trustees, principals, board members, teachers, Chaplains, and Learning Support providers.

Our schools are centres of learning which are open to all and which aim at excellence in the areas of religious, moral, social, affective, cultural, physical and intellectual development.

A number of our schools are catering for pupils whose parents or relatives are seeking refugee status. Helping these pupils to integrate into the Irish education system places extra burdens on the school community but efforts have been very successful.
