History

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.
