Rev. Patrick D. McCaul 1919 - 1929

The third president of the college was Rev. Patrick D. McCaul.

Fr. Patrick D. McCaul was born in 1880, and ordained for the diocese of Raphoe in 1904. He was assigned to the college and remained on the staff of the college from 1906 until 1918 when he was appointed to the Cathedral parish. He was recalled to the staff of the college and appointed President, following the death of Fr. Ward in 1919. An orderly and spiritual man, he was greatly regarded by the student of the day as testified by their regret at his leaving the college in 1929. The continued growth of the student body during his tenure gave the provision of an extension to the college, added urgency. While esteemed by his students, he does not appear to have been held in the same way by his clerical colleagues! He was transferred to the parish of Tawnawilly in Dec 1929 and hence to Dungloe where he died in April 1937.
