OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP Work of the Macon women, whose aid to Our Lady of Perpetual Help Home is de* scribed in this article, is du plicated by countless other women throughout the Dio cese. As a "Cancer Month" feature Grace I. Crawford wrote this article as she feels "many do not know of our wonderful Home . . . that the Sisters are interested in help ing everyone — not just Catholics." (By Grace T. Crawford) MACON-At 760 Washington Street in Atlanta, not too far from the State Capitol, stands a three story building of red brick and Georgia marble. Above its columned entrance way are carved these words: Our Lady of Perpetual Help Home. If you go inside, you may run into a canasta session, hear the strains of some familiar pop tune, or even see a child playing cowboy in the halls. Or you may see a smiling Nun in a snow-white habit, rolling a woman in a wheel chair into the sunshine. Our Lady of Perpetual Help is one of seven homes dotting the south, east and midwest- each equipped to give free care to the afflicted poor, and con ducted by an order of Domini can Sisters, dedicated entirely to the care of incurable cancer patients. The requirements for admission are simple. A doc tor’s certificate, testifying to incurable cancer and inability to afford proper care. The Order was founded in 1899 by the daughter of the American novelist, Nathaniel Hawthorne and a young artist from Louisville, Kentucky, who began their work by nursing cancer patients on New York’s lower East side. Formerly a Hebrew orphan age, Our Lady of Perpetual Help Home opens its doors to the sick of every color, creed and race. Since its beginning in 1939 4,558 patients have been cared ATLANTA BARBETTE'S HOUSE OF BEAUTY Permanents from $10 to $25 Shampoo from $2.50 to $3 Haircuts at $2.00 Pine Tree Plaza Shopping Center Buford Hwy. 457-0582 Doraville, Georgia HURST UPHOLSTERING COMPANY HIGH GRADE WORK At Very Reasonable Prices FREE ESTIMATES 1579 Gordon St., S.

THURSDAY, MAY 31 - SUNDAY, JUNE 3, 1962—(W) Nurses—Other ladies invited. SUNDAY, JUNE 10-FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 1962—SPECIAL tor - 500 of these, Cathoiics- and some 3,958 of other de nominations. Because of the rules of their Order, the Sisters depend en tirely upon the generosity of the public for the support of the home-with no contributions ac cepted from the patients or their families. “But our friends never let us down”, said Sister Mary Jose phine, O.P., director of the home. “Men, women and child ren of every race, creed and color-people in all walks of life, have contributed over the years to a cause that welcomes the sick into an atmosphere of peace and which can be compared only to the ties of aclose family circle.” Benefactors of the home have made it possible to keep pace with the ever-rising standard of patient care, Sister Jose phine said and six Atlanta phy sicians donate their services to the patients. Pharmacists, dentists, beauticians, barbers, and many other people contri bute services as they are need ed. In addition, groups of wo men of all denominations as sist the Sisters in their work. The vast grounds at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Home, once a bewildering overgrowth, are beautifully landscaped and cared for by garden clubs in and around the Atlanta area. Patios, recreation rooms, sun porches, television sets, frequent movies, a well stock ed library, arts, crafts and hobbies are available to give_ patients diversion, Sister Jo sephine said. Mass is conduct ed daily in the chapel. “It takes many hands to do the work”, said Sister Jose phine, “but the Sisters are adapted to any duty in the home”. In addition to caring for the patients, all of the work is done by the Nuns, from the kitchen to the laboratory-the laundry to the office. One of the most vital ser vices rendered Our Lady of Perpetual Help Home, is the making of cancer pads for the patients by individuals, churches, clubs, schools, Girl Scouts and many organizations throughout the state. Because they cannot be pur chased, the Sisters are depen dent on their friends to supply the hundreds of pads needed weekly at the home. In Macon, some 12 to 15 wo men members of St. Joseph’s Church, contribute approxi mately 20 hours each, monthly, to the making of cancer pads.

THE BULLETIN, April 28, 1962—PAGE 3 To Increase Recreation Facilities ALBANY - At the April meet ing of St. Teresa’s P T.A. in the school suditorium, permissior was granted for the constructior of a combination tennis court volley ball and basket baL courts, and will be available for the physical educational pro gram of the school as well as for the parishioners. Sister Mariam, principal, an nounced that the school library is expanding. Books have been purchased for the primary grades, and more are being pur chased for the upper grades and with what is being donated the library will be adequate. The program for the evening was prepared by the National Association of Radio and Tele vision Broadcasters and nar- 3 P.M. every first and third Wednesday in the church base ment, the ladies take covered dishes, and when 1 o’clock rolls . around, they have lunch to gether. “Somebody makes a pot of coffee, and we have a fine time”, said Mrs. Agnes Sim mons, who has supervised the group for the past eight months. She succeeds Mrs. Edith Me Murray, now of Chester, S. C., formerly of Macon, who was supervisor for over three years. “The prospect of sewing for four of five hours may not seem very exciting to some peo ple”, Mrs. Simmons said, “but the realization that we’re help ing make these sick people more comfortable, makes no effort too great”. The group’s first supervisor was Mrs. Ger trude Clark. Since September of 1959, the Macon group has contributed over 9,537 pads, 101 rolls of soft binding, 49 pairs of hand knitted toot warmers, in ad dition to various other mis cellaneous articles. This work is of special in terest to the pastor of St. Jo seph’s, Msgr. Thomas Sheehan, who encourages his parishion ers to contribute more time to the project. One of the most enthusiastic workers is Mrs. Albert O’Hal loran of 1223 Ross Street in Macon, who has made over 7,000 pads since 1953. Mrs, O’Hallo ran, who suffers from ar thritis, spends all of her spare time assembling and making the pads. “I’ve done so many”, she declared, “I could turn them out in my sleep”! Mrs. O’Hal loran considers this her main contribution to the Church. The biggest problem, she says, is in securing the necessary cot ton. Whenever possible, she buys old mattresses trom usea furniture concerns-the cotton from which she has regained for about six cents a pound, then delivered, clean and sterile, to her home. The cotton is- used, with a portion of soft sheet and newspaper, to make a comfortable pad for a pa tient’s back, arm, or some other portion of the body. Mrs. O’Halloran sells auto matic needle threaders to help finance her project. Another member of St. Jo seph’s, who rarely misses a sewing session, is Miss Mamie Weiss of 936 High Street. Al though Miss Weiss is partially paralized, she uses her good right hand to turn out her share of the work. The Ladies’ Guild of Sacred Heart Church in Warner Rob ins has a similar project, as do many other clubs and groups throughout the state. rated by Mr. Joe Davis, Execu tive Sales Manager of T.V. Sta tion WALB Mr. Davis informed the meeting of the necessary equipment required to operate a TV station and also the origin of Television. The room count was won by Mrs. S Giovingo’s grade 4A The school patrol is sending 13 members to Washington, D C and the usual donation of $100 from the PTA will help to de fray the expenses. The annual May Procession will be held the first Sunday in May and the 8th grade graduates will have a special Mass on May 27th. The school picnic will be held on May 30th.
