John Howling SJ (1543–1599), was an Irish Jesuit priest, who founded the Irish College, in Lisbon. Howling was born in County Wexford, in 1543. He trained as a priest, and joined the Jesuit order in Rome in 1583. In 1590, with the help of some Irish and Portuguese merchants, he set up the Confraternity of Saint Patrick, with an aim to set up a College for Irish clergy in Lisbon. In 1592 the Irish College of St. Patrick, Lisbon, was established by Howling for the training of Irish students for the priesthood. The College survived until 1834.
