Welcome to the website of the Le Chéile Schools Trust.
The Le Chéile Scools Trust was originally set up by twelve religious congregations. It carries out the legal and inspirational role of trusteeship that has, up to now, been done by individual congregations. This is a significant development in Irish education as the Catholic Church and the individual religious congregations renew and reformulate their commitment to Irish education.
The main object of Le Chéile is the development of a vision of Catholic education and overseeing its implementation in the Schools, encouraging preservation of key aspects of the evangelical heritage of their founding Congregation and to facilitate the opening of new schools if and where the need arises and resources permit.
In the case of non-denominational schools, the aim is to promote the integration of human and spiritual values that permit Catholic values to develop.
