How We Support You

Each year the Union runs a calendar of events that bring our community together – from the Annual Dinner and Ignatian Challenge Cup golf outing to class reunions, table quizzes and informal social evenings.

CUSP is an initiative of the Union to assist past pupils or staff who may need support and advice at a time of personal, health or career difficulty. A panel of professional past pupils offer confidential guidance on a voluntary basis.

Since its relaunch, the Union has supported Crescent College Comprehensive through Transition Year work placements, a literary competition for third year students and career talks, work experience and international placements.

Our Jesuit Heritage

Crescent College has held a special place in Limerick life since 1859. Rooted in the Jesuit tradition, the school has educated generations of students at Sacred Heart College in the Crescent and later at Crescent College Comprehensive in Dooradoyle. Jesuit education focuses on forming people of conscience, competence and compassion, and that spirit continues to shape our past pupil community today.
