A, A, DOONAN DIES IN Georgia Gives Many Sons
ATLANTA-ILL A WEEK
Was Member of Pioneer
Family and Leader in Bus
iness and Athletic Circles
ATLANTA, Ga.— Aloysius A. Doo
nan, a member of a leading and
pioneer Atlanta family and himself
one of the most widely known of
Atlantans died January 15 after an
illness of only a week. He was pro
minent in real estate and athletic
circles here.
Mr. Doonan was bom in Atlanta 52
years ago, and educated in local
grammar and high schools and a
Holy Cross College, Worcester, Mass.
It was at the Doonan home in Atlanta
that Mass was said after Mr. Doo-
nan’s grandfather moved his family
to Atlanta in 1846.
Active in athletics since his college
days, Mr. Doonan sponsored the first
college invitation basketball tourna
ment ever held in Atlanta, which
developed into the annual college
championship tournament. He was
largely responsible for the erection
of the Atlanta Athletic Club’s present
splendid home, and served *as direc
tor of the club and chairman of its
athletic committee for fifteen years.
He was southeastern representative
of the Amateur Athletic Union.
Scott Hudson, president of the At
lanta Athletic Club, said that he was
the leading spirit of the club for
twenty years, and Coach William A.
Alexander of Georgia Tech said he
knew of no man who had devoted
himself more unselfishly and more
effectively to amateur sports.
Mr. Doonan was an active member
of Sacred Heart Church, from which
his funeral was held with a Requiem
Mass, the Rev. Edward P. McGrath,
S. M„ officiating, assisted by priests
of the city. Interment was in Oak
land Cemetery. Surviving Mr. Doo
nan are his sister. Miss Margaret
Doonan, four brothers. J. T. Doo
nan. J. J. Doonan, Paul G. Doonan, At
lanta, and the Rev. John B. Doonan,
an aunt, Mrs. Kate Lovett, an uncle,
John Gardiner, and three cousins,
■"drs. R. E. Ot ; s, W. R. Otis and Miss
Katherine. He was a nephew of the
late Father James A. Doonan, S. J.,
the first native of Atlanta to become
a priest, and for a number of years
president of Georgetown University.
and Daughters to Religion
Bishop, Abbots, Head of Re
ligious Orders Born or
Reared in Diocese
The Diocese of Savanah has given
enough sons to religious orders and
to the secular priesthood to supply
the state with clergy, although the
number of priests per thousand is,
because of the wav in which Catho
lics are distributed through the state,
necessarily many times as numerous
as in large Catholic centers. The
number of vocations to the priest
hood and to the religious orders of
women has been one of the great
glories of the administration of Bish
op Keyes.
There are now in Georgia more
than twenty priests of the Diocesan
clergy who were born and reared in
the sta‘e. or one per thousand, the
proportion of priests to people in
numerous Dioceses. A large number
has been ordained for religious or
ders. One Georgia parish with 900
souls, men, women and children, has
had six of its sons ordained with
in the past several years, five Jes
uits and one Benedictine. Orders
which have natives of Georgia as
priests include the Jesuits. Benedic
tines, Marists, Trappists, Paulists,
Franciscans and others.
The story of religious orders of
women is similar. Georgia young
women during the past thirteen
years _ have become Sisters of Mer
cy, Sisters of St. Joseph. Franciscan
Sisters, Little Sisters of the Poor,
Missionary Servants of the Mos*
Blessed Trinity, Sisters of the Good
Shepherd, Dominican Sisters and
members of other orders.
Bishop Walsh of Charleston was
reared in Savannah, although bom
at Beaufort, S. C. Abbot Frederic
Dunne of the Trappists in Kentucky
was a Georgia layman, as was the
la*e Abbot Bernard Mumhv, O.S.B.
The Very Rev. Joseph Sullivan. S.M.
provincial of the Marists. is a native
Georgian, as was the Very Rev. John
M. Salter, S.M., late provincial of
the Jesuit Fathers in the South.
These facts, merely indicatory and
anything but exhaustive, are quite
significant when one considers that
there are but 20.000 Catholics in the
60,000 square miles of Georgia, the
population of some metropolitan par
ishes. scattered over a territory twice
the size of Ireland.
