St Joseph's College Lucan

Launch of PAL Team Fundraisers for Chicago 2025!
On Wednesday, 16th July, our Public Access to Law Team officially launched their fundraising efforts to travel to Chicago in November 2025! With great excitement building, the team of students, parents & teachers met to discuss the planning, organisation and schedule ahead, as they prepare to compete in the International Mock Trial Competition and fundraise to cover the costs involved. It is a huge honour for St. Joseph's to represent Ireland, once again, in this prestigious Mock Trial competition, taking on the complex roles of attorneys, witnesses, researchers in the Chicago Courtrooms in November.

Schools

We will have many fundraising events pencilled into our school calendar from September ranging from a sponsored Hike of Lugnaquilla, a Table Quiz in Lucan Sarsfields, Bake Sale & Raffle in St. Mary's Parish Centre, a Cookery Demonstration with Tony Kane, Bakery Specialist at Odlums in St. Joseph's! All are welcome to attend & support these events from September.

We are delighted to have the support of the very generous sponsors of our trip so far - a huge thank you to B2B Office Supplies, Brogan's Bar, Burns Unit in St. James's Hospital, Castletown Press, Eamon Costello (Kerry) Ltd., Toyota Liffey Valley, Coyne Solicitors, PCP Peripherals, JRAP O'Meara, Schoolwear.ie and Spice Village Eurasia.

As we have the unenviable task of raising 30,000 euro to fund our trip to Chicago, we would be delighted to receive support from any past-pupils, local businesses, organisations or corporate groups who would like to sponsor our team in any way.
