Cross and Passion College is a voluntary Catholic secondary school for students ages 12-19 around the County Kildare village of Kilcullen in Ireland.

[3][4] Canon James Langan of Kilcullen invited the Sisters of the Cross and Passion under the leadership of Mother General Margaret Mary (Elizabeth Prout) to open a convent and schools in his parish in the early 1880s.

[5] Local resident Mr Quinn donated land, first for a large house situated on extensive grounds and then, 10 years later, for a new convent, with an interest-free loan for building, if needed for education.

The school grew in numbers to 68 students in 1922 (48 boarders and 20 day pupils) when the Irish Free State came into existence; application was made to the Department of Education for recognition.

In 2004, Sr Máire O’Sullivan, the last teaching Sister in the college, left the school to pursue further study; she was later appointed Provincial Leader of the Cross and Passion Congregation.

("Lord, let me know You") The school has over 800 students and offers Junior Cycle and a compulsory Transition Year, as well as three Leaving Certs (LCE, LCA and LCVP).
