The cemetery at Maynooth College was established in 1817 and celebrates its 200th. anniversary in 2017. In anticipation of this anniversary, the Maynooth College seminary class of 1963-1970, made up of 67 lay alumni and 30 priests, undertook the planning, promotion and financial support of a documentation and rehabilitation project in conjunction with major funding from the college authorities. The class-sponsored input included researching the history of the location and creating an accessible record of those interred in print and on the web; commissioning of heritage markers for two of the cemetery's most distinguished figures, Eoghan O'Gramhnaigh and Nicholas Callan; and contributing to the cost of repair of damaged tombs and crosses.
