St Brendan’s Class of 1974 reunion

Published

on

Over 50 former classmates of St Brendan's College gathered in Killarney to celebrate their 50th anniversary since graduating in 1974.

The reunion, held on October 25, brought together old friends from all over the world, including the UK, Switzerland, and Australia.

The idea for the reunion was sparked by Michael J. O'Connell from Ballyduff, who realized the 50-year milestone was approaching.

With the help of St Brendan's principal, Sean Coffey, and the power of social media, a WhatsApp group was formed, and the word spread.

The reunion attendees also had the opportunity to meet six members of the current student council. These young men spoke confidently about their experiences at St. Brendan's and their aspirations for the future. One student even jokingly remarked that he looked forward to attending his own 50-year reunion in 2075.

The group also embarked on a tour of the school, visiting the archives which date back to 1860.

The day concluded with a celebratory dinner at the International Hotel, attended by over 60 members of the class of 1974. Some former classmates who had been unable to attend earlier events joined the festivities, making the reunion even more special.
