2024 – Year of Hope – Bringing a sense of purpose
As 2024 concludes, we are filled with great gratitude for the journey we have shared together. This has been a year defined by hope, growth, and a renewed sense of purpose – a year where our community has united to support the resilience and potential of our beautiful young people.
Thank you to our Students
Our students continue to bring light and energy to Kildare every day. Each of them brings her own unique gifts – curiosity, creativity, courage – and together, they make our College community vibrant and inspiring. This year, they have embraced new ideas, taken on challenges, and shown remarkable resilience. Their friendships, questions, and discoveries have filled our days with joy, and we are incredibly proud of all they have accomplished. Even on the hard days, they have stood by and supported one another.
Thank you to our Families
Everything we do is made possible through the partnership we share with our families, and we see the love and guidance reflected in the confidence, joy, and kindness of our students. Thank you to our families for believing in us, for walking alongside us, and for all the ways we are supported at Kildare. The trust and encouragement are invaluable, and we are so blessed to work with our families.
Thank you to Jo Coonan: Chair of the Kildare College Stewardship Council
For the past nine years, Jo Coonan has been a dedicated member of the Kildare College Stewardship Council, including six years as the Chair, providing invaluable guidance and support. Her inspiring leadership and commitment to Catholic Education have profoundly shaped our College’s direction. Jo’s wisdom and encouragement have strengthened our community, helping us to navigate challenges and celebrate successes, and her visionary approach and dedication to Kildare Ministries’ Core Values have left an enduring legacy. As Jo steps down, we thank her for her exceptional contributions. Her impact will continue to inspire and guide Kildare College for generations to come.
Thank you to the Staff
Our dedicated staff have played a vital role in making this year so special for our students and families. Their professionalism and commitment make Kildare a place where everyone feels a strong sense of belonging. We are so grateful to the staff for their flexibility, resilience, and positivity throughout the year.
Thank you
Each day, our students teach us the courage to stand for what is right and the beauty of growth marked by both strength and gentleness. Watching them discover themselves, take risks, and embrace their journeys has been a privilege and an inspiration.
In our Year of Hope, they have shown us the spirit that defines our community – resilient, curious, and purposeful. Each student is a gift, and their accomplishments remind us of the power of hope and courage.
Together, we have created a community of faith, hope, and love.
Wishing you all a happy and safe Christmas filled with love and laughter.
Many blessings always,
