Sassari, farewell to Don Luciano Salaris: the parish priest of San Paolo has died

Mourning in the church of San Paolo in Sassari for the sudden death of Don Luciano Salaris.

This morning the priest of the Sassari parish, 66 years old from Ittiri, was struck down by a sudden heart attack . For many he was a point of reference, an important figure for many young people and for those Catholic and non-Catholic people and associations, including the ACLI, with which he carried out many social and sporting initiatives, supporting volunteer activities in the area, in particular The Solidarity Emporium and the San Paolo Sports Group.

There were many messages of condolence to remember "a wonderful, good and truly special priest": "You were and will always be an example". In recent days he had suspended his parish activity due to health problems which, evidently, he had not overcome.

He was also known by many high school students where he taught religion. His last celebrations took place in the sanctuary of Seunis in Thiesi.
