SIXTEEN THE BULLETIN OF THE CATHOLIC LAYMEN’S ASSOCIATION OF GEORGIA JANUARY 31. 1936 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.
