The Irish Federation of Jesuit Alumni (IFJA) is a voluntary organisation based in Ireland and the UK, with the objectives of:


 * increasing membership levels and member engagement across the Past Pupils Unions (PPUs) of the Jesuit Colleges of Ireland
 * helping find fresh volunteers for these PPUs, and
 * sharing best practices across the PPUs.

These Irish Jesuit Colleges, in alphabetical order, comprise of Belvedere College S.J. , Clongowes Wood College S.J., Coláiste Iognáid S.J., Crescent College S.J., Gonzaga College S.J., Mungret College S.J. and St. Declan's School S.J..

One of the original Irish Jesuit Colleges, St. Stanislaus College S.J., merged with Clongowes in 1886 and accordingly there are no St. Stanislaus Alumni around today.

Mungret College merged with Crescent in 1973, and still has an active Past Pupils Union, with representation on IFJA.

St. Declan's School S.J. is a primary school in Dublin and therefore its Alumni move on to different secondary schools including the Jesuit schools above.
