Mungret
College, situated 3 miles west of Limerick was a Jesuit apostolic
school and a lay secondary school from 1882 until 1974 when
it closed as a school for the last time. Mungret produced over
1000 priests in that period. It had previously been an agricultural
college and a Limerick diocesan seminary until 1888. The secondary
school was relatively small with around 225 boarders and 25
day boarders.

The
Mungret College Union exists to maintain and facilitate the
strong bond of friendship that exists between the alumni of
the school. The Union arranges an Annual Dinner and a Golf outing
and an Annual General Meeting.
