FOUR THE BULLETIN OF THE CATHOLIC L AYMEN’S ASSOCIATION OF GEORGIA MARCH 28, 1936 Mrs. J. J. Lynch of Atlanta Dies at 83 Beloved “Mother of Missions” Generous Benefactoress to Church in Georgia (Continued from Page One) failed; her last convention was at Augusta a year ago October. She was also a member of the Retreat League, making retreats at Mt. de Sales Academy in Macon each summer. Her faith was foremost in her life and she nourished that “gift of God” by her attendance at daily Mass and the daily reception of Holy Commun ion whenever possible. She was noted for her interests in activities in charity throughout the State. She was a member of the Catholic Mission Society, the Catho lic Layman’s Association from its be ginning, past president of the Ladies Altar Society, the oldest society of organized women in Atlanta, and a member of the board of the Home for Incurables. In her zeal for the promotion of the Catholic Faith in Georgia Mrs. Lynch built the St. John the Evangelist Church in Valdosta, Ga.. the Church of the Little Flower in Cordele, Ga., and gave half the cost for the erec tion of the new church in Gaines ville, Ga. She was especially interest ed in helping the poor missions in Georgia. She visited many small Mis sion churches in the state and it was her delight to give substantial dona tions wherever needed. It was this zeal, interest and charity displayed at all times that merited for her the ti-' tie “Mother of Georgia Missions” conferred upon her by the Most Rev. Michael J. Keyes, retired Bishop of Savannah. Mrs. Lynch attended the Interna tional Eucharistic Congress in Dub lin, Ireland, in 1932, accompanied by Father Brennan of Albany. It was during this visit to Europe that she had a private audience with The Holy Father Pope Pius XI. The funeral was held from Sa cred Heart Church, Atlanta, March 23, Father Thomas A. Brennan, pastor of St. Theresa’s Church, Al bany, Ga., officiating. The sermon was delivered by Father Joseph E. Moylan, pastor Immaculate Concep tion Church, Atlanta. Among the clergy at the Mass were Very Rev. James T. Reilly, S. M„ Father Mc Grath, Father Thomas I. Sheehan, Washington, Ga., Father Rethans, Father King, Father Daley, Father Conlon. Father Quinlan and Father Weis. In a telegram, Bishop O’Hara paid this tribute to Mrs. Lynch: “The benefactions of Mrs. Lynch to the Church in Georgia will never be for gotten. The Diocese of Savannah has lost a loyal friend.” Mrs. Lynch’s charity did not cease with her death, for in her will pro bated on March 24, she remembered the Church that she loved, as record ed elsewhere in this issue. , THE COOLIDGE-KERR Bill “will save homes by keeping desirable aliens united” and “will protect homes and families by proper ac tion against undesirable aliens,” Monsignor Ready said.
