ETERNAL LIFE GRANT UNTO HIM O LORD.........

On Memorial Day evening May 25, at 5:40 p.m., Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish in northeast Sacramento lost one of our core founding members with the death of ART HALLAGAN. Art and his family have been continuous members of this community of believers for the past 48 years. A graduate of the University of Notre Dame of which he was a lifelong devoted alumnus, Art always spoke his mind saying what he truly believed about all topics. Art was generous in sharing his time and talents as an athletic coach for the young in this community through these many decades, especially in a multitude of roles with the Del Paso Manor Little League. In the three years I have known Art here at Presentation, he always had a sparkle in his eyes as he talked with me and his fellow parishioners Sunday after Sunday, following celebration of the Eucharist, over cups of coffee and donut holes in the narthex or on the terrace at the front entrance to the church. Art will be missed but not forgotten. Our conversations will be diminished without his contributions to them, which were always exact. My sympathies and assurance of prayers to the entire Hallagan Family and all his loved ones in their bereavement. Eternal Life grant to his holy soul O Lord, and let perpetual light shine on him. ALLELUIA ! AMEN !!.........Fr. Troy
