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.
