All Hallows College Matthew Carlson
The All Hallows Jubilee celebrated their pastmen with a reunion Mass, including those ordained and non-ordained from all over the world, many coming from the United States.
On Thursday, July 19, pastmen came together, some for the first time since they left All Hallows, and reunited with old classmates, some celebrating anywhere from five years to 60 years since they left their alma mater.
These men have gone to places all over the world, ministering to all peoples in communities both rural and urban. They were given the chance to celebrate Mass together and enjoy a dinner together along with good company and good laughs.
Education
All Hallows was founded in 1842 by Fr John Hand and was known for educating priests that were sought after by dioceses throughout the world.
Although All Hallows is closed, the campus is now owned by Dublin City University (DCU) which preserves the buildings and land. The Mass was celebrated on July 19 at All Hallows chapel on DCU’s campus. The All Hallows Trust continues the legacy of the college.
