Community and Civic Engagement

Education, including higher education, is essential for the well-being of democratic societies.

It therefore follows that educational institutions at all levels should engage purposefully with the people, communities and civic organisations in their locality.

St Mary’s is fully committed to playing its part in the cultural, educational, economic and social development of west Belfast and the city as a whole.

Our community and civic engagement is deep-rooted, wide-ranging and relevant.
