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.
