St. Finians College is a secondary school, the diocesan school of the Diocese of Meath.[1] It is located in Mullingar, County Westmeath, Ireland. Rev. Fr. Paul Connell, Ph.D. is its president. John McHale is the Acting Principal. Aisling Ryan serves as Vice Principal and Emma Carey as Acting Vice Principal.

Schola Cantorum

There are 29 Schola students.[2] Gerard Lillis is the current director, taking the position in 2003.[2] The Schola have in the past few years had many successful performances at Áras an Úachtaran, Feis Ceoil (Dublin), Glenstal Abbey and the National Principals Conference held in Killarney. At the moment, instruments taught at the school include organ, piano, violin, trumpet, clarinet, flute, as well as singing. Students currently come all over the country Dublin, Kildare, Laois, Longford, Sligo, Meath and Roscommon as part of the Schola Cantorum.

History

St. Finian's College was founded in Navan, County Meath as the Meath Diocesan College, by the Bishop of Meath, Patrick Plunkett, and opened on May 2, 1802.[3] Fr. Eugene O’Reilly as its first president, serving until 1827. The college moved to Mullingar, County Westmeath, at the beginning of the twentieth century. The present college building built by J.J. O'Callaghan was opened in February 1905. In 1970, St. Finian's was selected by the Irish Catholic hierarchy as the location for the music school (Schola Cantorum).

2002 marked the bicentenary of the founding of St. Finian's College. In 2003 it opened to girls, and in 2007 the last boarding class graduated.[4] The school also began offering transition year to students in 2017, thanks to the work of Sinéad Garvin and David Andrews. This transition year program introduced laptops into the school, beginning an era of technology for the school.

In 2015, the St. Finian's Diocesan crest was removed and replaced with a secular logo with the inclusion of a textbook. This move was seen by many to be an attempt to curry favour with the Department of Education as a means to receive greater state funding.

Sports

The school offers a variety of sport choices, with its many sports facilities, such as Gaelic Football, Soccer, Hurling, Handball, Basketball, Rugby and Golf.

The Mullingar Cricket Club plays in the grounds of St. Finian's College.[5]

A Chess club is also operated in St. Finians College.
