Father Jovito Rata’s email has been hacked again. Individuals falsely representing themselves as Father Jovito Rata have texted or emailed parishioners asking those parishioners to buy gift cards for the sick or to make contributions to a special cause. Some of these bad actors will make a strong effort to make these messages appear to originate from our pastor. The scammer will write messages using very personal greetings and indicate there is a need to get the cards or funds quickly to create a sense of urgency. Pastors or clergy members will not typically solicit donations via emails or texts. Any parishioner who receives such a message should always verify its authenticity personally with the sender before making any contribution. If a parishioner believes they have been victimized, they should report the incident to law enforcement and to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (https://www.ic3.gov/ ).

All Hallows’ Parish was founded in a Stockton Boulevard storefront in 1942, on the 100th Anniversary of the founding of All Hallows College Seminary in Dublin. Naming the parish "All Hallows" was testimony to the contributions of the priests who had come to Sacramento - and All Hallows - from this famous Irish seminary. In 1946, the parish came to its current location on 14th Avenue and 55th Street, beyond the edge of Sacramento's Oak Park residential district, adjacent to land that was still farmed and ranched. However, the rural was soon to give way to the fast-growing residential areas of Tahoe Park, Tallac Village, Fruitridge Manor and Colonial Heights, mostly built in the 1940s and 1950s, and composed almost exclusively of homes financed by the World War II GI Bill. In 2022, All Hallows’ Parish is celebrating its 80th anniversary. We are planning special events throughout the year. Currently, we are asking for historical photos that you would like to share on our social media platforms. Send via email: to: Lstruebing@sp-ah.org.
