All Hallows College is a college of higher education in Dublin. It was founded in 1842 and has been run by the Vincentians since 1892. On 23 May 2014, it was announced that it would wind down and eventually close. No timetable for this was given. On 19 June 2015, it was announced that the campus in Drumcondra is to be sold to Dublin City University.
The college was founded in 1842 by Reverend John Hand and, since 1892, has been under the direction of Vincentians.
By 1973 the college had trained 4000 priests for England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, South America, South Africa, India, Canada, Australia, the West Indies, New Zealand, and the United States. All-Hallows alumni were the largest group of secular priests in California up to the late 1890s.
The academic training for a priest took seven years, three were devoted to physics, mental philosophy, languages, and English literature; the remaining four years to sacred scripture, history, liturgy, canon law, sacred eloquence, and the science of theology.
In autumn 1955, while on holiday in Ireland, Senator John F. Kennedy addressed students of All Hallows at the invitation of Fr. Joseph Leonard, his speech referred to the suppression of religion in the Soviet bloc.
In the 1960s, after the Second Vatican Council, the college began accepting women from religious orders and, also, all Lay Students, offering adult education, and certificates, degrees and diplomas in theology, humanities and pastoral studies.
In 1976 the Vincentian retreat and conferencing in St. Joseph's, Blackrock, moved to All Hallows, similarly in 1981 the Vincentian Mission Team moved to the College.
The Pathways - Exploring Faith and Ministry adult education course commenced in 1985.
The BA degree, a four-year programme in Theology with Philosophy, Psychology or Spirituality was validated by the Irish governments NCEA in 1988. In 1991 the Evening BA and MA by Research began, which was followed in 1993 by the taught MA programme.
In 1999 the colleges degree programmes were validated by Dublin City University following on from NCEA. The undergraduate degrees based on subjects was recognised by the teaching council entitling graduates to teach in secondary schools in Ireland.
