The Listowel College and its supporters express their gratitude to Reverend John Breen and St. Michael’s College for their generosity. The donation will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the continued provision of education in Listowel, benefiting the community and fostering a culture of learning and growth.

The collabouration between these educational institutions serves as an inspiration for others to come together and contribute to the preservation and development of educational opportunities, ultimately enriching the lives of students and the wider community.
