Welcome to the Clongowes Union website. It was an honour to be elected President of your Union on Union Day.

Looking at the list of Past Presidents of this Union going back to Christopher Palles in 1897, it strikes me that the holder of the Office of President is merely a temporary guardian of that Office and, as such, is honoured and privileged to represent all OCs both living and no longer with us. It is my sincere hope that with the help of all OCs, and the Union Committee to whom I am extremely grateful, this Presidency will pass that guardianship test.

Connecting with OCs, connecting with Clongowes, and connecting OCs with other OCs is the very essence of what our Union is about. I hope that with your help we can build those connections over the next 12 months and beyond. 

Thank you for your support and I look forward to seeing many of you during the year.

Regards,

Jonathan White (OC86)
