Our Lady and Saint Patrick's College (Irish: ''Coláiste Mhuire agus Naomh Pádraig, An Cnoc'') is a Roman Catholic diocesan grammar school in Knock, Belfast, Northern Ireland. ==Foundation== The school opened on Monday, 4 September 1967 on a site at Gortgrib in the Cherryvalley area of east Belfast with Fr. Joseph Conway as President. A sister college of St. Malachy's College and St MacNissi’s College, Garron Tower By the previous April, the need for a new boys' grammar school catering for the North Down and East Belfast area had become urgent. There was no provision for Catholic grammar education east of the Lagan and it was clear, given the trends of the time, that there would be no capacity in the existing two Belfast grammar schools for boys (St. Malachy's and St. Mary's, Christian Brothers) for the September 1967 intake. Three priests from St. Malachy's - Head of English, Fr Joseph Conway, with Fr John O'Sullivan and Fr Albert McNally were appointed by Bishop William Philbin to found the new diocesan college. The site for the new school was Providence Farm at Cherryvalley. The property had been in the hands of the Diocese of Down and Connor since the middle of the 19th century and some of the older residents of the area could remember Sisters of Mercy visiting the site in pony and trap for provisions for the pupils. The College motto, chosen by Bishop William Philbin, was ''In omnibus gratias agite'' (I Thess, 5:18) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Our Lady and St Patrick's College, Knock」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
