The parish house of St. Mary, Help
of Christians, Church, Aiken, S. C.,
is one of the many indications of the
growth of the Church in the Aiken
section. The rectory is one of the
numerous buildings erected in the
Diocese during the episcopacy of His
Excellency, Bishop Walsh, and was
built under the direction of the Rev.
George J. Dietz, pastor at Aiken.
Aiken is one of the most famed
winter resorts in the nation, and
each year many persons of inter
national reputation in the world of
public affairs, finance, literature,
dramatics and other fields. Its po
sition as a world-famed winter resort
is attributed mainly to the efforts
of a member of the parish, the late
Mrs. Thomas Hitchcock. The late
Francis P. Garvin was a winter resi
dent of the city for many years and
a member of the parish, and the late
Mrs. Joseph P. Grace, whose death
in recent weeks cast such a pall of
gloom over Aiken and many circles
in New York, as received into the
Chinch here before her death.
The Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy
conduct St. Angela’s Academy here,
and Father Dietz has arranged a sys
tem of transportation for the chil
dren in the Horse Creek Valley who
come many miles to St. Angela’s for
a Catholic education.
The original church at Aiken was
built by Bishop Ignatius Persico, who
had a distinguished Episcopal career
in India before the failure of his
health. He came to South Carolina
to labor as a missionary priest, and
the Aiken section was his field of
labor. He was then named Bishop of
Savannah, a post from which he later
resigned, only to become a Bishop a
third time in his native Italy, and
finally a Cardinal in Rome.
Attached to the Aiken parish are
several missions, the best known of
which are those at Edgefield and
Mine Creek. The Mine Creek mis
sion is in carge of the Rev. Alexander
W. Calner; Father Dietz was former
ly there, until appointed pastor at
Leading Aiken, S. C., Firms
VERENES BROS.

Father Louis Forde, now of Charles
ton. The Mine Creek mission, St.
William’s, near Ward, S. C., is com
posed of the family of the late Mr.
and Mrs. Billy Rodgers, both con
verts, led into the Church by the ex
ample of Jerry Donovan, a stone ma
son who settled in that section. All
the more than a hundred members
of the organization are sons and
grandchildren or in-laws of Mr. and
Mrs. Rodgers. The Sisters of Our'
Lady of Mercy conduct the school in
the parish, the members of which are
all engaged in farming.
