Welcome to the Pontifical Irish College, Rome. Since its founding in 1628, the College has been committed to the formation of Catholic leaders, fostering the spiritual, human, pastoral, and intellectual development.
Today, our mission thrives within a dynamic synodal framework, embracing three distinct yet interconnected communities of Seminarians, Clergy & Laypeople. I hope this new website gives you an insight into the life, mission, and community of the Pontifical Irish College, offering a glimpse into our rich heritage and ongoing work in formation.
As a college community, we take great joy in welcoming pilgrims and visitors from Ireland and beyond. In particular, we extend a Céad Míle Fáilte to all who wish to join us for our weekly 10:00 AM Sunday Mass, followed by tea & coffee on our loggia.
