St. Clement’s College is embarking on a special mission with the Redemptorists to help students “see the bigger picture”.
The school is taking part in a week long mission with the order, whose history is intertwined with that of the Redemptorist-run St Clement’s.
All 450 students in the school are taking part in the retreat, the first time in Ireland that a school will partake in a full mission for a week.

Prayers for those doing exams, especially Leaving and Juniors Certs in Ireland.
As part of the celebration of the Feast of Corpus Christi, and as part of the Celebration of the Year of Faith, Pope Francis has requested that the faithful might join in in an hour of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament this Sunday, June 2nd.
So at the same time as Pope Francis is doing that in St. Peter’s in Rome, we will have an hour of Exposition, ending with Benediction, from 4pm to 5pm, here at Mount St. Alphonsus this Sunday, June 2nd. All are welcome to join us for all, or part of, that hour.
Feast of Pentecost – 19th May, 2013. Easter is over. Let the work of Easter begin!
Today is the Feastday of St. Clement Mary Hofbauer, the Redemptorist responsible for bringing the Redemptorist Order and charism out of Italy, into the rest of Europe and the World. Without him there would be no Redemptorists in Limerick! St. Clement’s College in Limerick is named after him so blessings, and happy feastday, to all pupils, past pupils and staff there.
