Rev. W. J. Harty on
Jesuit Mission Band
Father Bryant and Father
Ruggeri Also New Members
(Special to The Bulletin)
SHREVEPORT, La—The Rev. WU-
liam J. Harty, S. J., a native of Sa
vannah, Ga., and son of William
Harty, well-known insurance man of
Savannah, together with tl - Rev.
Robert Bryant, S. J., of Selma, Ala.,
and the Rev. William J Ruggeri, S.
J., of New York City, has been given
a permanent berth on the Southern
Jesuit Mission band, according to an
official letter recently received by the
Rev. Thomas J. S. McGrath, S. J., 923
Jordan Street, Shreveport, La, from
the Very Rev. Joseph M. Walsh, S. J-,
provincial of the Southern Jesuits,
who was appointed a few weeks ago
to succeed the Very Rev. John M.
Salter, S. J.
“Our Mission Band is now back" to
the standard of six missionaries,”
Father McGrath said “after having
been reduced to four and then three
by sickness.” Father John McCreary,
S. J., David J. Foulkes, S. J.. and
Thomas J. S. McGrath, S. J., will re
main in the mission work.
For the purpose of greater accessi
bility thus cutting down railroad ex
penses, the missionaries reside in dif
ferent parts of the territory in which
the Southern Jesuit Mission Band
works. Father Harty will reside at
St. Joseph’s Church, 814 Poplar Street,
Macon, Ga.; Father Bryant will take
up his headquarters at the church of
the Immaculate Conception, 132
Baronne Street, New Orleans, La.,
while Father Ruggeri will continue to
make his residence at the Jesuit High
School, 4133 Banks Street, New Or
leans.
Before being assigned to the Mis
sion Band, Fathers Bryant and Rug
geri were engaged in retreat work,
the former as director of the Man-
resa House of Retreats, Convent, La.,
where week-end retreats for laymen
are conducted; while the latter was
occupied in giving retreats to student
bodies in Catholic colleges, academies
and schools through the South and
Southwest. Father Harty for the past
three years has been professor of Eng
lish literature and dramatics at Loyola
University, New Orleans.
“Our Fathers are prepared to give
missions of either the dogmatic or
moral type,” Father McGrath said
“or, where pastors so wish it, a com
bination of both, However, for the
past six or eight years, pastors have
shown a decided preference for the
doctrinal or dogmatic missions, as
Ihe people find them more interest
ing. Then too, a new opportunity is
given to Catholics of better under
standing and aporeciating their faith,
and an occasion is offered truth-seek
ers of finding out themselves and first
hand what the doctrines of Catholi
cism are. Prejudice and misunder
standings frequently twisl and dis
tort our Catholic teachings beyond
recognition and thus repel non—
Catholics. Dogmatic missions do much
to dispel antipathy engendered by
misrepresentation and bigotry.’*
Because of an order from his
Eminence George Cardinal Munde
lein that a mission be given in every
church of the diocese between Sep
tember, 1933 and September. 1934, un
foreseen demands wc^e made on the
Missouri-Chicago .'esuit Mission
Band and the Rev. Ignatius A. Hamill,
director, appealed to the South for re
inforcements. Fathers David
Foulkes. of Hot Spmgs N. C.. and
John McCreary, of Sacred Heart
Church. Augusta will, therefore,
transfer their fall work partly to the
northern field.
Arrangements for Jesuit missions
in the Southern and Southwestern
states are made directly with Father
Thomas J- S. McGrath, S. J., 923 Jor
dan Street, Shreveport, La-
Father McGrath said the prospects
of a busy year are good, as applica
tions for Jesuit missions have already
been filed not only for the fall but
also for the winter, Lent and late
spring.

JOSEPH MAKE VOWS
Pronounce Final Promises at
Augusta Ceremony

impressive and meaningful ceremo

Sisters.
After the singing of the Veni Cre
ator the Sisters advanced to the al
tar and there pledged themselves
forever to a life of consecration to
their Eucharistic King, by the three
vows of religion, which serve as
great walls of safety to guide and
protect the soul and remove all se
rious obstacles which prevent it from
a complete union with God.
An eloquent and inspiring sermon
was delivered by Father Poche in
which he emphasized the importance
of the occasion, dwelling particularly
on the beauty, dignity and happi
ness of the religious life. This was
followed by Mass, during which the
rendition of suitable hymns by the
Sisters’ choir added to the solem
nity.

tuary were the Rt. Rev. Msgr. James
