At the heart of its story is an extraordinary woman: Mother Agnes Morrogh-Bernard, a Catholic nun who believed that the answer to poverty was not simply charity, but meaningful employment.

Opened in 1906, it was established by the Diocese of Killala to provide a Catholic secondary education for boys at a time when there was no comparable school between Belmullet and Sligo. Its story mirrors many of the major developments in Irish education during the twentieth century when the Catholic Church developed schools when the state wasn't doing so. A significant number of
