ON ALBANY MISSIONS
Rural Congregations Found
ed Over Half-Century Ago
Included on the" Albany missions
are illacoochee and Alapaha both of
which have churches, Holy Family
Church at Willacoochee and St. Brid
get’s at Alapaha.
The history of these missions starts
with the arrival of a number of Irish
families from Charleston wjjen work
started on the Brisbane Railroad.
The road was never completed, but
its backef, Abbott Brisbane, gave the
workers tracts of land; these families
included the Murrays, Nugents, Mc
Governs, McDonalds and Roes. They
settled and became farmers; their de
scendants are there to this day.
In the 1880’s Father Charles Pren-
dergast visited the territory, and
ministered to the Catholics until his
death in 1896; he was pastor at Al
bany. The Marist Fathers at Bruns
wick, among them Father Luckie,
Father James Byme, Father Julius
Casagne, now of Westerly, R. I, and
Father Carroll, now of Notre Dame
Seminary, New Orleans, then took
over the missions, Father Meriwether
of the Jesuit Fathers at Macon serv
ing in the meantime. In 1902 Bishop
Keiley returned the missions to the
Albany parish. In 1932 Alapaha and
Willacoochee became a parish with
Father Jos. R. Smith, now pastor of
Blessed Sacrament Church, Savannah,
as administrator, and he was suc
ceeded by the Rev. Herman Deimel,
now of St. Anthony's Church, Atlan
ta. In October, 1933, the territory was
once more returned to the care of the
Albany missions.
