Cordial Welcome to Bishop
His Excellency Is Greeted Editorially as “a Worthy Suc
cessor to a Distinguished Line” of Prelates
AUGUSTA WELCOMES BISHOP
OFFICIALLY AND PERSONALLY
(From The Augusta Chronicle)
If Bishop O’Hara, Augusta’s guest
today, had come to this city a year
ago he would have been cordially
welcomed as one of the most dis
tinguished churchmen of the coun
try. A native of Pennsylvania, a
graduate of St. Joseph’s College and
St. Charles Borromeo Seminary
there, a Doctor of Divinity of the
Major Pontifical Seminary at Rome,
a Doctor of Civil and Canon Law
of the Roman Pontifical College for
Juridic Studies, at 34 the youngest
Bishop in the world, a master of
three languages besides his own,
Latin, French and Italian, with a
splendid knowledge of others, Aux
iliary Bishop and Vicar-General of
the Archdiocese of Philadelphia,
one of the largest in the world, he
surely would have been a visitor
worthy of respect and honor.
Today, however, Augusta has a
new interest in Bishop O’Hara: in
addition to his distinguished record
and attainments of a year ago, he is
now the Bishop of the Catholic Dio
cese of Savannah, to which he has
been transferred from his Auxiliary
post in Philadelphia. He is the head
of the Catholic Church in Georgia.
Augusta likes to think that it is not
merely a city in the Diocese of Sa
vannah; it likes to think that it has
a place of major importance in the
Diocese because in this city the
Catholic newspaper of the Diocese,
The Bulletin of the Catholic Lay
men’s Association, is published.
Bishop O’Hara is the ninth Bishop
of Savannah, and the eleventh Bish
op of this territory to visit this city.
The first, one hundred and fifteen
years ago, Bishop England, who la
ter addressed the Congress of the
United States in the presence of
President John Quincy Adams, and
in whose Diocese of Charleston Au
gusta then was, came to the city and
he made many visits here, as did his
successor, in whose term of office
the Diocese of Savannah, embracing
all Georgia, was erected.
The first Bishop of the Diocese,
Bishop Gartland, came from Bishop
O’Hara’s Philadelphia; the second,
Bishop Barry was pastor of St. Pat
rick’s Church here. Then followed
Bishop Verot, Bishop Persico, later
a Cardinal in Rome, Bishop Gross,
later Archbishop of Oregon City,
Bishop Becker, also a Pennsylvan
ian, Bishop Keiley, whom hundreds
of Augustans now living knew per
sonally, and Bishop Keyes, the be
loved prelate, whose last visit to any
King of Italy Honors
Dr. Jas. A. W. Reeves
Chevalier’s Cross Conferred
on Seton Hill President
Georgia city before his retirement
was to Augusta.
Augusta will find Bishop O’Hara a
worthy successor to this distinguish
ed line of prelates. Bishop O’Hara
will find Augusta a friendly, cordial
city, with a spirit of good will which
is a tribute both to the priests and
people of the Catholic Church who
deserve so well of their fellow-citi
zens, and to their fellow - citizens
whose own fine qualities of mind and
heart enable them to recognize them
in others. We trust that this visit of
Bishop O’Hara will be the first of
countless others, and that he will
always feel no less welcome here
than in hik former City of Brotherly
Love and his present hospitable See
City of Savannah.
ALL AUGUSTA LOOKED FOR
WARD TO VISIT OF BISHOP
(From The Augusta Herald)
Along with its Catholic contempo
rary, The Bulletin, as well as the
secular press of this section. The
Herald is pleased to add its welcome
to 'The Most Rev. Gerald P. O’Hara,
newly installed Bishop of Savannah,
who is today making his initial visit
to Augusta as bishop of the Savan
nah Diocese.
Bishop O’Hara is a young man (he
is 40) of most pleasing personal ap
pearance and charm and his attain
ments as a scholar and as a spiritual
leader are nationally known.
Augusta citizens of all faiths have
looked forward to the new Bishop’s
first visit to Augusta and it is to be
hoped that he will come here often
and spend much of his time in this
city. Mayor R. E. Allen, Jr., will of
ficially welcome Bishop O'Hara at a
public reception to be extended him
at Sacred Heart Hall this atfernoon
at 4 o’clock.
It is most fitting that Mr. P. H.
Rice, Jr., is to be general chairman
of the reception committee, since his
late father was one of the nation's
outstanding Catholic laymen. The
Catholic clergy and the leading lay
men of the church here, including
Messrs. Richard Reid, Alfred M.
Battey, Bernard Franklin and Victor
Markwalter will take part in the
formal reception to be extended the
distinguished Bishop.
The occasion is certain to be an
auspicious one in the Catholic life
of Augusta and this section and
those of other faiths are felicitating
their Catholic friends upon the pros
pect of greater spiritual activity and
development in the Diocese.
