McCarthy is pastor, started at the Catholic Library Hall in Sa vannah, April 11th, and ends April 22d. Reports thus far indicate it will be the great success it de serves to be. Final Reports on the results of the campaign for the relief of the suffering women and children in Ire land are not available at this time, but there is every reason to believe that the $7,500 quota assigned Geo rgia will be oversubscribed, and that the total will be nearer $10,000 than the original quota. Mr. Roger Bresnahan, president of the Toledo, Ohio, baseball team, which trained in Augusta this spring, very generously staged an exhibition baseball game St. Patrick’s Day for the benefit of the drive, splitting his team into rival nines. The game netted over $850. In Atlanta an entertainment was staged Thursday, April 7th, in the interests of the drive, and several professionals volunteered their services for it. Babe Ruth, the famous professional baseball player, who happened to be in Atlanta with the New York Ameri can League baseball team, took a few hours off from his business of making home runs to sell tickets for the entertainment. In Savannah the Catholic Women’s Club gave a card party March 31st at Benedictine Hall, the pro ceeds of which went to the campaign fund. The friends of Ireland in Macon, Columbus, and other cities and communities through the State were as active as those in the cities mentioned. The Bul letin hopes to be able to print the results of the drive in its May number. St. Benedict’s Day was celebrated on Tuesday, April 5th, with a solemn high mass at Sacred Heart Church in Savannah. The feast was postponed from March 21st, which came in Holy Week. Rev. Father Ber nard, O.S.B., rector, delivered the sermon. The Bene dictine Cadets and the children of the Sacred Heart Parochial School, attended the mass in a body. Among the prominent weddings at the Cathedral, the one which perhaps is the most interesting to Georgia Catholics was that of Miss Marie Louise Lynch, granddaughter of Mr. John Lynch, of Savan nah, and Peter Roe Nugent, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Nugent, of Savannah, which took place on the morning of Tuesday, March 29th. Rt. Rev. Ben jamin Keiley officiated at the marriage ceremony, and Rev. Joseph D. Mitchell, V.G., was celebrant at the nuptial mass. The Knights of Columbus, of Brunswick, received Communion in a body Sunday, April 3d, thus keep ing up an annual custom. It was one of the most edifying scenes that ever took place in the little Church by the Sea. The chaplain of the council, Rev. J. A. Petit, S.M., named the day for the annual com munion, and nearly every member was present. The Knights invited all the men of the parish to join them, and many accepted the invitation, thus bringing to gether the largest number of men ever seen at com munion at the same time in the history of the Church of St. Francis Xavier. The men assembled in the Knights of Columbus Hall and marched to the Church headed by Grand Knight J. M. Jones and the other officers. Father Petit complimented them on the splendid showing, and encouraged them to repeat such ceremonies as often as possible. One of the features of the occa sion was the sight of several fathers approaching the communion rail with their sons. The children’s choir sang during the Mass. Little Miss Lucile Golman brought many a tear to the eyes of the men at the communion by her touching sing ing of ‘‘O Lord, I Am Not Worthy.” The annual communion of the Patrick Walsh Coun cil, Knights of Columbus, at Augusta, takes place at St. Patrick’s Church, Sunday, April 1 7th. The Knights of Columbus State Convention will take place in Brunswick on May I 0th. Mr. James T. Vocelle, vice-president for the South Georgia Missions, is the proud father of a 12-pound boy, James T. Vocelle, II. The sympathy of the Laymen s Association is ex tended to the families of the late Mr. J. H. O’Byrne and Mr. Timothy Mahoney, Augustans, who died since the last issue of The Bulletin. Both were Au gusta merchants. Mr. O’Byrne died suddenly Sunday evening, March 20th, in Augusta, while Mr. Mahoney passed away March 2 7th at Albu rquerque, New Mexico, where he had gone in search of health. Work on the new Catholic Church of the Blessed Sacrament in Savannah was started Thursday, March 24th, and it is expected that the edifice will be ready for services in June. The Church is being built on the corner of Forty-fourth Street and Waters Avenue,
