Rome Branch Pledges Its
C. L. A. Quota for 1933

ciation of Georgia is the latest to pledge its quota for the
year, the pledge being made at a recent meeting of the
officers, B. S. Fahy, president, and reported by the Rev.
Jos. G. Cassidy, pastor of St. Mary’s Church.
The Savannah branch, of which W. J. Bremer is
president, is engaged in securing its members, with
every prospect that Savannah will emulate the other
cities which have made favorable reports.
The Atlanta branch, Robt. R. Otis, president, which
conducted a successful one day campaign in the churches
with the cooperation of the pastors and priests, is gather
ing together the loose threads of its campaign.
In Augusta, where T. P. Doris is president, the cam
paign is approaching its termination, with heartening
results.
Reports from other cities, Macon, Columbus, Albany,
Waycross, Brunswick, Milledgeville and other places,
indicate that every branch in the state may be depended
on for its part in the continued support of the work of
the Catholic Laymen’s Association of Georgia “to bring
about a friendlier feeling among Georgians irrespective
of creed.”
Those the local committees have not yet called on are
requested to send their pledges or contributions either
to the local officials or to the state office, which will give
credit to the local branch for them. The’ officials of the
Association earnestly hope to have every Catholic in the
state, who is able to contribute, assisting to some extent
at least.
Several readers of The Bulletin in other states, some
of them distant, have made remittances since the previous
issue. It is hoped that many others will follow their ex
ample during the present month.

Rev. William J. Hafey, D. D., Bishop
of Raleigh, who gave a very inter
esting and appropriate address, in
which he interpreted the seriousness
of the lesson which was taught by
the program “Day Before Yester
day/ and called to mind the time
when those participating in the en
tertainment too, should all have
passed into history.
Bishop Hafey praised the work
done bv the Immaculata School and
declared that great good would flow
out of the characteristics of rever
ence for parents, authority and reli
gion and the note of Christian charity
which was being inculcated into the
children through this source- The
Bishop congratulated parents and
friends on their cooperation with the
pastor and sisters in the great work
of Christian education. He asked God
to bless each and everyone who were
rendering a real service to the coun
try, and to the children who were
one day to live in the city of heaven.
