CATHOLIC ACTIVITIES
FLOURISH IN PARISH
OF THE HOLY FAMILY
Columbus ranks fifth among the
cities of the state in the number of
Catholics — this in Georgia where
Catholics are proportionately few in
numbers even where they are most
numerous. But in its Catholic activity,
Columbus deserves a rank out of pro
portion to its numbers.
The efforts of the Catholic Club
and the club’s achievements are re
corded elsewhere in this issue. The
activities of the Columbus branch of
the Catholic Laymen’s Association, of
which Mrs. H. C. Smith is president,
are well known to readers of The
Bulletin and particularly to members
of the Laymen’s Association of Geor
gia. The accomplishments of these or
ganizations are typical of those of
Catholic organizations generally in
Holy Family parish, under the direc
tion of the Rev. D. J. McCarthy, pas
tor, and his assistant, the Rev. John
Crean.
THE ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
Conference of the parish has George
Cross as its president, Mark Mote as
vice-president and W. J. Weaver as
secretary and treasurer.
THE MISSIONARY SOCIETY is
headed by Mrs. Mark Mote,
with Mrs. A. M. Bryant as vice pres
ident and Mrs. L. P. Turner as secre
ts rv and treasurer.
OUR LADY’S AID SOCIETY has
Mrs. John T. Bryant as president,
Mrs. Leo Donnelly as vice-president,
and Mrs. H. C. Smith as secretary and
treasurer.
THE ALTAR SOCIETY is headed
by Mrs. Mark Mote, with Mrs. Rich
ard Needham as vice-president and
Mrs. John Lee as secretary and treas
urer.
THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS,
Bishop Gross Council, have the dis-
distinction of having for their grand
knight the state deputy for Georgia,
Louis C. Kunze, who is now serving
his second term of office after two
terms ten years ago. Leo Rivas is
deputy grand knight, Father McCar
thy chaplain, Joseph Spano, financial
secretary and W. J. Weaver treasurer.

Columbus Catholic Club Has
Achieved Ambition in Home
COLUMBUS, Ga—Headed by E.G.
Suelzer, president and with the Rev.
D. J. McCarthy, pastor of Holy Fam
ily Church, as chaplain, the Catholic
Club of Columbus, one of the leading
organizations of its kind in the Dio
cese, has achieved one of the most
ardent ambitions of Columbus Cath
olics, the acquiring of a Catholic club
and it is now engaged in the task of
reducing the indebtedness on the
property.
The Catholic Club is a roomy and
attractive building on Broad Street,
in one of the most desirable sections
of Columbus. It serves as a center
for Catholic social and club activities.
The indebtedness is now quite mod
est in its proportions, and while fi
nancing the home the club has not
neglected parish activities, rendering
substantial assistance to Father Mc
Carthy in his efforts. Men and wo
men, old and young, are members of
the club.
The acquiring of a Catholic center
has been a dream of Columbus Cath
olics for years, and its realization
brought great joy to old and young.
It is headquarters for Catholic organ
izations, and the annual meeting of
the Columbus branch of the Catholic
Laymen’s Association of Georgia was
held there recently. In addition to
Mr. Suelzer, president, and Father
McCarthy, chaplain, other officers
include John T. Bryant, vice presi
dent; Julius Infantino, secretary; W.
J. Weaver, treasurer; trustees. One
year, Joseph Spano, John T. Bryant;
two years, L. C. Kunze, Mrs. H. E.
Hall; three years, Mrs. A. M. Bryant,
Mrs. H. C. Smith.
The Catholic Club is now six years
old; its first president was Michael
Fox and its second one was Louis C.
Kunze. The club has paid 75 per cent
of its indebtedness on its club house,
and anticipate being able to liqui
date the remainder of the indebted
ness in the near future. The purpose
of the club as incorporated into its
constitution and first expressed by
Father McCarthy, is “to aid and fur
ther the cause of the Catholic Church
in Columbus and vicinity; to bring
all members of the Catholic Church
closer together in a social way and
to have a common center in which
all social functions of the parish will
be held and where the various organ
izations of the parish will meet in
their several - 'gatherings.” How well
the Catholic Club has succeeded in all
its ambitions is evident from its ac
quiring of the club house making it
the Catholic social center of the city;
it has been equally successful in its
other aiins.

C. Program at Columbus
Columbus has the distinction of
having located at Fort Benning one of
the ranking chaplains of the United
States Army, the Rev. John F. Mon
ahan of the Archdiocese of Boston,
Major-Chaplain. Father Monahan is
intensely interested in local activities
and always cooperates.
Although Columbus has but one
Catholic parish, it has neighboring
parishes within walking distance,
conducted by the Vincentian Fathers
across the Chattahoochee River. And
although they are within walking dis
tance they are in another state and
Diocese, the State of Alabama and the ,
Diocese of Mobile, circumstances
which do not, however, raise any bar
rier in efforts for the common good.
