CBC Cork PPU

The Christians Brothers College Cork Past Pupils Union which was founded in 1931, celebrates its 90th anniversary this year. The inaugural meeting was held in the Physics Lab at the College on March 23rd 1931. It is on record that the large attendance was presided over by Rt. Rev. Dean Sexton, who was one of a group of the first pupils in the College when it was opened in 1888. Dr. Walter Rahilly became the first President of the Union and the quiet Br. J.X O'Hanlon, who was principal since 1928 and Dean Sexton were elected Vice Presidents. Ninety years on, there are more than six hundred enrolled members, some of whom are domiciled in many parts of the world. Functions and events are arranged at which the Alumni are afforded an opportunity to renew friendships onetime enjoyed with schoolmates in their Alma Mater. The aims of the Union also include that members proclaim their commitment to provide moral and financial support for worthy activities and projects in the College. Some funds raised may be appropriated to charity. The Union is always seeking new members & can be contacted via the school website (https://www.cbccork.ie/index.php/cbc-past-pupils-union), Twitter (@CBCCork_PPU), Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/cbcppu/), LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/company/cbc-cork-ppu) & via email (ppu@cbccork.ie).
