For more than a half-century,
Monsignor Edward Kavanagh
has headed St. Rose Parish and
St. Patrick's School and Orphanage

Msgr. Kavanagh was born in 1925 in County Kilkenny in Ireland. He was ordained on June 6th, 1948
at St. Mary's Cathedral, and in December of that year was sent to the diocese of Sacramento and
St. Rose's Parish, where he has been for the past 54 years!

Msgr. has been active in the pro-life movement since the 1960s. His work with orphans and poor children at St. Patrick's Home has made him even more sensitive to the plight of the most innocent victims of society--the unborn.

St. Rose Parish officially came into existence in 1949. It was originally the Chapel of St. Patrick's Home for Children built in 1932 and named in honor of both St. Rose of Lima and the first Catholic church in Sacramento (1849).
	St. Patrick's School complex was built in 1932 when St. Patrick's Home orphanage was moved from Grass Valley. The school portion was opened to the children of South Sacramento in the 1040's and expanded. The complex now includes St. Patrick's Home Administrative offices and Day Care Center.
