    SACRAMENTO DIOCESAN ARCHIVES Vol 4 Father John E Boll, Diocesan Archivist No 52 EUNTES DOCETE OMNES GENTES All Hallows College, Dublin A World-Wide Apostolate This essay was written by Canon Basil David O’Sullivan Canon Basil David O’Sullivan, a priest of the Diocese of Dunkeld in Scotland, was born in Fishguard, Wales on July 19, 1932. He attended All Hallows College, Dublin, Ireland from 1950 to 1956 and was ordained a Catholic priest in All Hallows Seminary chapel on June 17, 1956 for the Diocese of Dunkeld. He received a Licentiate in Canon Law from the Gregorian University in Rome and is a member of the Canon Law Society of Great Britain and Ireland. He was appointed Canon of the Cathedral Chapter, Diocese of Dunkeld, in 1992 and named Chaplain to the Holy Father in 2008 by Pope Benedict XVI. He presently serves as parish priest in the Church of the Holy Family, Dunblane, and the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, Auchterarder, Scotland. Relying on the work of Father Kevin Condon, C.M. in his book, The Missionary College of All Hallows, 1842-1891, published by All Hallows College, 1986, Monsignor O’Sullivan has written this essay on the history of All Hallows College, Dublin.

  • ALL HALLOWS COLLEGE, DUBLIN Records, 1842-1877 Reels M871-874
    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT ALL HALLOWS COLLEGE, DUBLIN Records, 1842-1877 Reels M871-874 All Hallows College Gracepark Road Dublin 9 IRELAND National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1974 HISTORICAL NOTE All Hallows College was the first modern foundation in Ireland set up to train priests for work in foreign missions. John Hand (1807-1846) attended St Patrick’s College, Maynooth, and was ordained a priest in 1835. He had a strong interest in the Association for the Propaganda of the Faith, which was founded in 1838, and he conceived the idea of a college in which priests would be trained to serve the Irish peoples in English-speaking countries other than Ireland. In February 1842 the Holy See gave its blessing to the project and All Hallows College was formally opened in November 1842. It was housed in a mansion in Drumcoda in Dublin. The early presidents of the College were: Rev. John Hand 1842-1846 Dr David Moriarty 1846-1854 Dr Bartholomew Woodlock 1854-1861 Rev. Thomas Bennett 1861-1866 Dr William Fortune 1866-1892 The College grew rapidly. The number of students rose from one in 1842 to 120 in 1846. By 1860 there were over 200 students. In its first 40 years, the College sent over 1000 missionaries to English-speaking countries. The main destinations were the United States of America (420), Australia and New Zealand (250), Britain (190), Canada (60), the West Indies and Argentine (49), India (30) and South Africa (28). Since 1892 All Hallows College has been under the direction of the Vincentians.

This is related to the size of the university, its wide range of subjects, the attractive location and the active pursuit of the internationalisation strategy. Roughly one quarter of students are non-Austrians, almost 1,000 Erasmus students are welcomed and supported at the university each year. Conversely, the university assists the mobility of around 1,000 outgoing students. The University of Vienna accounts for roughly 25% of all outgoing Austrian Erasmus students. In addition, the mobility of over 150 outgoing and over 150 incoming students is admi nis tered within the university’s Non-EU Student Exchange Programme, in which the university also invests considerable funds itself in order to cultivate and develop links with the university world outside the EU. The internationalisation of universities is to be under stood as a multi- level process covering ever broader areas of univer sity activities. One third of scientific staff comes from abroad (two thirds of them from the EU), the percentage of newly appointed professors from abroad is 75%.

This magazine contains lots of news about our graduates, where they are and what they are doing. It also aims to keep you informed on developments at your university. In October 2006, the university launched the Gateway Project – a major international architecture competition involving the redevelopment of some 10 hectares around the main entrance of the Belfield campus. The project challenged architects to create a defining structural feature for UCD to serve both as an internationally recognisable landmark and also meet extensive functional requirements. It is to comprise academic, cultural, leisure and business facilities and it marks the start of a 15-year Development Plan for a sustainable, healthy and living campus. Against this backdrop, another important episode of UCD history is playing out. Earlsfort Terrace has been sold to the State to facilitate the redevelopment of the National Concert Hall. UCD can now complete the move to Belfield and deliver on the vision set out by Michael Tierney, President of the university in the 1960s. As we say farewell to Earlsfort Terrace, I am reminded of the origins of that building, which for 124 years played such a central role in UCD life.

I am also indebted to my husband, Martin Fanning, for his patience and emotional support as well as for reading several drafts of this work. Dr Elizabeth Neswald, Dr Mary Shine- Thompson and Dr Mary Harris also deserve thanks for taking the time to read part or all of the dissertation; their comments have greatly improved the final product. Thanks to the Irish Research Council for the Humanities and Social Sciences, whose grant to Dr Fyfe provided my salary and travel allowance throughout the project, and the Moore Centre at the National University of Ireland, Galway (formerly the Centre for the Study of Human Settlement and Historical Change), which administered the grant and generously provided me with space to work.

  • What Is Social Enterprise?
    ADDING VALUE DELIVERING CHANGE The Role of Social Enterprise in National Recovery Report of the Social Enterprise Task Force An Initiative of Clann Credo and Dublin Employment Pact www.clanncredo.ie www.dublinpact.ie Foreword Social enterprise has a strong and growing presence in Ireland, building on deep roots of community organisation, self-help and a native enthusiasm for enterprise. This spirit has created formidable and unique organisations such as the GAA, the credit union movement, the Irish Countrywomen’s Association (ICA), Muintir na Tíre, the agricultural co-ops, local development and enterprise organisations, along with a wide range of voluntary and charitable groups, from Rehab to local community-owned initiatives. Despite this, the sector remains relatively under-developed in Ireland and has not grown to anything like the levels enjoyed by EU and global counterparts. We estimate that growth here has only kept pace with inflation over the last 14 years. Social Enterprise needs to grow and put down deeper roots. The social enterprise sector needs to act as one and state its case publicly, in order to create a more favourable public and policy environment that will ensure that it realises its true potential. For these reasons, Clann Credo – the Social Investment Fund and Dublin Employment Pact, took the initiative last year to bring people together to focus specifically on how to promote the concept and the common interests of the sector. The result was the Social Enterprise Task Force (SETF) which set itself the mission of developing a Manifesto that would identify the practical ways in which national and local policy could create a more supportive and receptive framework for social enterprise.

Glass, bishop of Salt Lake City, Utah, from 1915 until 1926, was the last Vincentian to be appointed a bishop in the continen- tal United States and the first since 1868. "How or why a relatively obscure pastor in Los Angeles was given that post is not clear."' If asked how the appointment came about, older Vincentians usually answer "through the influence of the Dohenys."2 It is a natural re- sponse, given Glass's close friendship with the oil baron and his wife. That very closeness, however, presents a difficulty. It is unlikely that Glass or his friends would deliberately seek a post that would remove him from the fleshpots of Chester Place (the Doheny residence in Los Angeles) and exile him to a remote diocese that was geographically the most extensive in the United States and that had a small Catholic population.

Poverty Reduction - A Vincentian Initiative in Higher Education: The All Hallows Experience BY DORRIEBALFE, O.P., MA Director, Social Justice and Public Policy Program AND JOHN JOESPRING, MA, DIP.TH. Vice President, A11 Hallows College Introduction The purpose of this article is to reflect on the experience of addressing poverty reduction in a higher educational environment under a Vincentian administration. All Hallows College, situated in North City Dublin, is such a college. Founded in 1842, the College has been under Vincentian adminis- tration since 1892. Though not Vincentians, both authors of this article have been members of the staff at All Hallows for the past eighteen years. It is in that context that we have experienced the Vincentian charism in action. Our approach here is to set the historical context out of which the present commitment to poverty reduction has grown, to track key moments of change in the past and to describe how a new postgraduate program in Social Justice and Public Policy is addressing such a key moment at present.

    3 ‘Scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd’: the pastoral responses of the Irish churches to emigration1 From an Irish clergyman’s point of view, by far the worst of the iniqui- ties facing migrants was the perceived threat to their faith. While for rhetorical reasons anti-emigration diatribes tended to highlight any wilful oppression – real or imagined – inhibiting the freedom to express one’s religion, it was more mundane limits on the ability to practise it which were of most pressing import. Reports of nativist attacks on churches in the United States, for example, may have prompted ‘gasconade, froth, foam and fury’ in the Irish Catholic press, but the churches that had yet to be built were the real barriers to incoming migrants’ religious participation.2 Immigrants of all denominations and in all rural destinations could find themselves at a considerable remove from the ministrations of their church, while those who migrated to cities might be among thousands of parish- ioners under the auspices of one over-stretched cleric.3 Evidently more clergy were needed, and until a body of ‘native’ ministers could be cultivated – relatively late in the day in many instances – the infant churches of the New World looked to the Old World to supply them. This chapter will explore the elements of this call, the readiness of the home churches to heed it, and the effectiveness of their responses. Before 1815, spiritual efforts on behalf of Irish emigrants were uneven. Although eighteenth-century Presbyterian emigrants were sometimes accompanied by their pastors, the extent of this phenom- enon, as Patrick Griffin has shown, can be exaggerated.4 There were certainly a few ‘cult heroes’ such as James McGregor of Aghadowey, who regarded themselves as leading latter-day Israelites out of oppres- sion and into a land of relative freedom, but, as Kerby Miller has argued, there were also those who admitted to emigrating for essen- tially careerist reasons.
