(Special to The Bulletin)
RALEIGH, N. C.—A generation ago
North Carolina’s first offering of a
native son to the Catholic priesthood,
the Rev. Thomas Frederick Price,
became co-founder, with the Rev.
James Anthony Walsh, of the Catho
lic Foreign Mission Society of Ameri
ca. the purpose of which was to pro
vide priests to carry the glad tidings
of the Redemption to the teeming
millions of the Orient. Father Walsh
found a missionary’s grave in the
Orient, but the society of which he
was the co-founder, now popularly
known as the Maryknollers, has
flourished to such an extent and
done such heroic work that Father
Price's co-worker, Father Walsh, was
on Thursday of the past week con
secrated a Bishop at Rome by His
Eminence Cardinal Fumasoni-Biondi.

Changes Announced
Bishop Hafey Makes Clergy
Appointments
But previous to the founding of the
Catholic Foreign Mission Society,
Father Price had laid the foundations
of another apostolic work, one dear
to his heart, “the North Carolina
Apostolate’’, the goal of which was
to be the bringing of the people of
this beloved native state to the “One,,
Fold and One Shepherd.” His plan
of action was to organize a band of
priests who would consecrate them
selves to the preaching of the Gospel
in the cities, towns and especially the
rural districts of the state.
“In due time, a humble house was
erected and dedicated to the Queen
of the Apostles, Regina Apostolo-
rum’,” writes the Most Rev. William
J._ Hafey, D. D., Bishop of Raleigh,
in "The Apostolate . of North Caro
lina”, Vol. I, No. 1, recently issued.
“The prayers of Father Price for co-
laborers were answered, and two
priests of Apostolic fibre entered the
ranks of the Apostles. They were
Reverend Michael A. Irwin and Rev
erend William F. O'Brien, who are
still living but far from still in their
holy calling to preach the Word of
God.’ ’
The work continued heroically for
a decade, augmented in the summer
by seminarians from Dunwoodie and
Baltimore, until the call came to
Father Price at the Eucharistic Con
gress at Montreal to found the so
ciety which was to reap the great
harvest o" souls for Christ in far-off
China. “North Carolina and her few
but devoted Catholics have been sin
gularly blessed in being able to give
to the Church of the Living God the
saintly and apostolic Father Price,"
Bishop Hafey writes.
"But God is not outdone in gene
rosity and today He is returning
North Carolina’s gift of Father Price
by sending to this Southern State
many young priests to relight the
lamps of zeal, sacrifice and apostolic
effort in the Home Mission Field
white unto the harvest. Eight years
ago was instituted the Diocese of
Raleieh and a cherished desire of the
first Bishop of Raleigh has been the
resurrection of ‘the North Carolina
Apostolate’ founded by Father
Price.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The fol
lowing resolutions were adopted re
cently by the Auxiliary of St. Vin
cent’s Hospital, on the death of the
Rev. Sister Mary Louise Fitzpatrick,
beloved superintendent of the hospi
tal, to whose faith, courage and skill
the erection of this great institution
for the relief of the suffering is
largely due:
“Whereas, it has pleased Almighty
God to call to her Heavenly Home
our .beloved Sister Mary Louise
Fitzpatrick, and
“Whereas, the St. Vincent’s Hospi
tal Auxiliary, organized by her,
realizes that in her passing the or
ganization has lost its fine leader, its
inspiration and adviser, and
“Whereas, we know how much her
loss means to us individually and
collectively, as Sister Mary Louise,
by her kindness, sympathy, ever-
ready helpfulness, gentleness and
spirituality impressed each member
of the Auxilary with a sense of duty,
we, the members assembled, do de
plore her untimely death, realizing
fully the great loss she> is. to the
splendid institution, St. Vincent’s
Hospital, which was built under the
guiding hand of this remarkable
nun, and also to this community;
“Now. Therefore, Be It Resolved,
that while we realize our great loss
and bow in submission to the holy
will of God, we appreciate, the priv-
lege of knowing so fine a character,
so saintly a person, one who was de
voted to deeds of mercy and works
of charity, and whose life was a
preparation for her Eternal Home.
“Be It Further Resolved, that these
resolutons be spread on the minutes
of the St. Vincent’s Hospital Auxil
iary, that a copy be sent to the Sis
ters of St. Vincent’s Hosoital, a copy
to the relatives of Sister Mary
Louise Fitzpatrick, and a copy to the
