A look through the archives..

As we prepare for our 10th anniversary next year, it is an opportune time to reflect on our rich historical journey to date. Therefore, we will pick one or two of our ministries per newsletter and take a look at their archives. We hope you enjoy this journey back in time. This newsletter we are focusing on Kildare College and Clonard College.
