What the Union Does
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.
Upcoming Events
Our events are a chance to reconnect with classmates, meet past pupils from other years and support Crescent College Comprehensive and its students. Upcoming Events will be listed here with links to booking and event reports.

It’s with sadness that we post this. Denis would have been known by many graduates of Crescent College. The following message is from Principal Diarmuid Mullins:
For many of your sons/daughters Denis was probably the first member of staff that they would meet in the mornings on their arrival in Crescent. Denis would open the locker that a student couldn’t manage, find the item of clothing/books or phone pouch that may have been misplaced on a regular basis. Denis also had a hands-on role in supervising many of our students in different jobs or activities that they were involved in during their years in Crescent. Denis was a caring and committed man whose work supported all our students in Crescent.

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.
