Trinity Week 2023

Posted on: 21 April 2023

Trinity Week starts at 10am on Trinity Monday, 24 April, when Trinity College Dublin celebrates the announcement of new Honorary Fellows, Fellows and Scholars of the College.

Trinity Week 2023

The ceremony is one of the oldest and most colourful at Trinity College and refers back to the foundation of Trinity College in 1592, as a corporation consisting of the Provost, the Fellows and the Scholars. The announcement is made by the Provost, surrounded by members of the Board of College in full academic gowns and hoods, on the steps of the Public Theatre. Students and staff celebrate the occasion with colleagues, friends and family in Front Square and members of the public are very welcome to witness this event.

Immediately after the announcement you are welcome to attend the Service of Commemoration and Thanksgiving at 10.30am in the College Chapel.  The address will be given by Rev. Professor Michael Mullaney, President of St Patrick’s College, Maynooth.  

At 11.30 am, the Trinity Monday Memorial Discourse will be hosted in the Graduates Memorial Building. This year the discourse commemorates A.F.G. Kerr and will be given by Professor John Parnell, Fellow Emeritus.

We hope that you will be able to join us on Monday 24 April.
