Sous-série GLT - Glenart, Arklow, County Wicklow

St. Kevin’s, Glenart, Arklow, Co.Wicklow was purchased in the late 1940s to provide student accommodation for the Vincentian student body, due to increasing numbers. The theology students were moved to Glenart, the philosophers/university students and seminarists remaining at Blackrock. The move was made in 1949. Glenart continued to serve as a theology house until 1968, when they moved back to Blackrock. From then until 1978 it served as a Retreat House, and was much used by the Irish Missionary Union for courses for returning missionaries. In that year it was sold. A field was retained which was not sold until 1996.
