Both Willow Park and Blackrock are run by a Roman Catholic order called the Spiritans.

Public Apology by Fr Martin Kelly Provincial of the Congregation of the Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost Fathers) (English)
A review in 2012 by the National Board for Safeguarding Children in the Catholic Church in Ireland revealed the stark reality of abuse perpetrated by 48 members of the Irish Spiritans over a 50- year period; that number has now reached at least 77. A decade ago,the then Provincial ,Fr Brian Starken C.S. Sp, apologised unreservedly to those abused, hurt, or damaged by any Spiritan.On the initiative of a group of past pupils from Blackrock College a pilot Restorative Justice programme was established that has revealed further histories of abuse in our schools and the horrifying impact this has had on some of our past pupils and their families, friends and the wider community.
