Crescent College Comprehensive SJ is a secondary school located on a section of 40 acres (162,000 m²) of parkland at Dooradoyle, Limerick, Ireland. The college is one of a number of Jesuit schools in Ireland. The first Jesuit School in Ireland was established at Limerick in 1565 by the Apostolic Visitor of the Holy See, David Woulfe SJ. Woulfe's cousin Edmund Daniel, a Jesuit scholastic, aided him in running the school. William Goode, an English Jesuit also worked there, and we know about the school from letters written by Goode which still exist. The earliest recorded example of a school play in Ireland was performed in this School in 1566; it was about the birth of John the Baptist and was performed on the Feast of St. John. The school was situated in Castle Lane for much of its existence, though it appears that it may have intermittently moved to Kilmallock to avoid the attention of the authorities. A stone inscribed with a cross and the motto IHS was taken from the Castle Lane Site to Dooradoyle in 1913. The early School was closed in 1773, following the Papal suppression of the Society of Jesus.
