Sisters of the Presentation honored by Holy Trinity Catholic Church in San Pedro
Holy Trinity Catholic Church in San Pedro dedicated the Fireside
Room of its Parish Center in honor of
Sisters of the Presentation (of the Blessed Virgin Mary) on Saturday,
January 14, 2012.
At the invitation of Father George Gallagher, Sisters of the
Presentation accepted to staff Holy Trinity School.
Property for the convent was purchased at 209 North Hanford Avenue in San
Pedro.
Holy Trinity Parish and School greatly benefited from the presence of
Sisters of the Presentation.
Several young women from Holy Trinity would eventually become Sisters of the
Presentation.
Sisters of the Presentation left Holy Trinity in 1990 and the convent
was replaced with the current Parish Center which was dedicated in 1993.
With the approval of Msgr. Joseph Brennan, the current Pastor of
Holy Trinity,
permission was given to dedicate the Fireside Room in honor of
Sisters of the Presentation so that their legacy
at Holy Trinity will be passed onto future generations.
The Fireside Room contains pictures of the Sisters, artifacts saved from the
convent, and
a special wall listing the names of the
Sisters of the Presentation who have graced
Holy Trinity
with their presence along with a wall dedicated to Nano Nagle.

Berkeley Plaque Dedication
A Dedication Ceremony took place for
a plaque to
honor the presence and role of
Sisters of the Presentation in the educational history of the city of
Berkeley.
It was held
on Saturday, November 12, 2011, in the Commons
Room of University Terrace
which is the former site of Presentation High School.
It was followed by a lovely reception.
The plaque
was intended to be placed when the University Terrace housing complex
was built in 1993-1994, but it was never installed.
Now it has
a place of honor near the stone pillars marking the entrance to the original
convent
of Sisters of the Presentation which University Terrace residents have
named: the California Street Rose Garden.
The Commons
Room of University Terrace features a pictorial history display of the area
