Our History
St. Joseph’s is an all- girls Secondary School, founded by the Sisters of Mercy.
It is situated in the centre of Castlebar, built on the historical grounds of the former Lord Lucan.
In January 1845, the P.P. Fr. Gibbons, with a view to bringing the Sisters of Mercy to the town, convened a public meeting in the local parish church.
Our Ethos, Vision & Mission
Founded by the Sisters of Mercy, St. Joseph’s is the oldest secondary school in Castlebar with its origins dating back to 1853. While maintaining a strong Catholic tradition and ethos, we welcome students from every religious tradition.
