Tobar Mhuire Community would like to appeal to all those walkers & runners using our trails . Each year we have a 200 Club. This is one way for us to raise much needed money for maintaining our grounds and building costs etc. We hope that you as an individual or a family / group etc would help us by joining our 200 club.
200 Club tickets can be bought over the phone by calling 02844 830242. The 200 club is a big help to us as we continually face rising cost to maintain and keep our place running smoothly so that we can continue to offer our grounds and trail for many years to come. We know this is a much used area by people from far and near. While we don't have an entrance fee to the trail we hope instead to raise money via our 200 Club. For Further information call 02844 830242. Thank You From The Passionist Community Tobar Mhuire |

Exciting Developments at Tobar Mhuire for Catholic Teachers
Tobar Mhuire is delighted to announce that in partnership with Mary Immaculate College, Limerick, we are now in position to offer the Graduate Certificate in Christian Leadership in Education.
This innovative postgraduate programme is under the auspices of Mary Immaculate College and is awarded by the University of Limerick.
PROGRAMME CONTENT
The programme will introduce students to key ideas, concepts and principles that underpin the characteristic spirit or ethos of faith-based education. Among the topics to be included are the following: Jesus the Teacher; Nurturing Personal Faith and Spirituality; The Catholic School and Contemporary Culture; Leading and Managing a Catholic School in Ireland Today; an Integrating Seminar will provide practitioner-based sessions that require students to integrate and explore the cross-disciplinary elements of the programme, the students’ own experience in the school environment, and the application of ethical leadership in a variety of complex scenarios that reflect contemporary issues facing school leaders in faith-based schools.
The programme is designed to augment other qualifications participants may have achieved in areas of leadership and management so that they have the knowledge, competence and skills needed to lead a faith-based school. It will be taught in part-time mode, normally on Saturdays at various venues around the country. It is open to all involved in primary and second level education, especially teachers and others aspiring to roles of leadership or management in education.

A participant on this course will get remission from two modules of the MA Christian Leadership in Education/ Grad Dip. and a corresponding remission in the course costs.
There is no financial support in place from the College for the Grad Cert. However, individual schools, religious orders and dioceses may be willing to make some contribution towards fees. These are worked out on an individual basis by the students
