About All Hallows Seminary

HOME OF THE HUMBLE AND THE GREAT

All Hallows Seminary is the pioneer seminary east of the River Niger, instituted for the training of diocesan clergy. It was established in 1924 by Bishop Joseph Shanahan with Rev. Fr. William O’Donnel as the first Rector.  The seminary travelled to many places before it finally settled in the present location. It was on February 1952 when it moved down to the present site in Onitsha, Anambra State, with the name ALL HALLOWS. The seminary has trained great men serving both in the Church and the society, hence our slogan: All Hallows Seminary, the home of the Humble and the Great!
