REVEREND FATHER PATRICK (P.V.) VINCENT LENEHAN REST IN PEACE.............
On July 2nd, which was the 120th Birthday Anniversary of my paternal grandfather, Sidney Harris Powers, who was born and raised in Cleveland County Arkansas USA; Reverend Father Patrick Vincent Lenehan, a native of County Galway Ireland; and a Catholic Priest of the Sacramento Diocese for over 55 years - died in Eire back to which he had retired a few years ago. Father Lenehan was an Assistant Pastor at St. Rose's Parish in South Sacramento when he baptized me and my first cousin Velda Ford, on May 18, 1957. This morning Bishop Jaime Soto presided at a Memorial Mass for the happy repose of Fr. Vincent's soul in Immaculate Conception Church at 32nd and Broadway in Sacramento. I was one of seventeen priests concelebrating and commemorating the life and priestly ministry of Father P.V. "Vincent" Lenehan. God Grant Him Peace and Light in the Kingdom of Eternal Life. Alleluia !!! Amen !!!.............Fr. Troy David
