A Century of Faith, Family & Community

The story of St Kevin’s College began long before the first students arrived.

The College’s historic grounds trace back to Scottish-born farmer John McLean, whose property later became the Redcastle estate. Developed by his nephew John McLean Buckley, the estate included the iconic Castle residence and Stables — buildings that remain an important part of the College’s identity today.
