of City of Atlanta
(Special to The Bulletin)
WASHINGTON, D. C. — The Very
Rev. Joseph M. Sullivan, S. M., pro
vincial of the Marist Fathers of the
Washington province, was honored at
the Marist College and Seminary here
on the occasion of the silver jubilee
of his ordination. Father Sullivan’s
jubilee is of interest to the Southeast
not only because the Marist Fathers
labor in Georgia, but also because
Georgia has the privilege of claiming
him as a native son.
Father Sullivan was born in Atlan
ta and entered the Society of Mary
from that city. His abilities com
manded the admiration of his super
iors, and most of his priestly life be
fore being named provincial was
spent in the classroom teaching fu
ture Marists; for a number of years
he was a member of the faculty of
the Marist Seminary at the Catholic
University of America, and at the
time of his election as provincial he
was superior. Father Sullivan was a
student of Bishop Keyes in his ear
liest days as a Marist-

Marist Fathers, which Father Sulli
van heads, extends from St. Paul to
New Orleans, and from Baltimore
and Philadelphia to San Francisco.
The Marist Fathers of this province
have parishes and schools in the
Archdioceses of Baltimore, Philadel
phia, New Orleans, St. Paul and San
Francisco and in the Dioceses of Sa
vannah, Boise, Idaho, and Wheeling,
West Virginia.
Anniversary Mass for
Father C.E.DeVineau
Sung at St. Patrick’s, Char
leston, on Second Anniver

(Special to The Bulletin)
CHARLESTON, S. C.—The second
anniversary of the death of Rev.
Charles E. deVineau was commemo
rated in St. Patrick’s Church by a
Solemn Requiem Mass, July 24. The
Celebrant was the Very Rev. John L.
Maiming, D. D., Chancellor of the
Diocese of Charleston, with the Rev.
John J. McCarthy as deacon, the
Rev. John P. Clancy, sub-deacon. In
the sanctuary were the Reverend
Thomas Finn, of Savananh, and Mr.

The large attendance of the laity

OLD HEADQUARTERS
OF KU KLUX KLAN
ROUGHT RY BISHOP
Father Moylan, Pastor, For
mally Inaugurates Parish
With Mass There on Feast
of the Assumption
(Special to The Bulletin)
ATLANTA, Ga. — In the old Im
perial Palace of the Ku Klux, where
a few short years ago officials of the
Klan sat in solemn concilium to plot
their campaign for the downfall of
the Catholic Church in America, the
Very Rev. Joseph E. Moylan, V. F.,
on the Feast of the Assumption offi
ciated at the Mass which formally in
augurated the new parish of Christ
the King.
The former Imperial Palace had
been bought a few days before by
the Most Rev. Gerald P. O’Hara, D.D.,
Bishop of Savannah, for Atlanta’s
newly established parish. Several sites
were suggested, but the old Klan pal
ace, national headquarters of the or
ganization in its heyday, seemed the
most suitable and its purchase ar
ranged-
The building on the site is one of
the most majestic in Atlanta; the
tract, which is about three acres in
extent, was originally in four parcels
of land, acquired by the Klan for its
purposes. When the Klan came on
financially evil days, it passed into
other hands, and the building in re
cent years has been used as an apart
ment house. It is in splendid condi-
tion, and part of it is being remodel-
'■ ed into a temporary chapel.
Plans for the new church are being
prepared, and it is hoped to start
work on its construction in the near
future.
The site of the church is one of the
most desirable in Atlanta; it is over
four miles from Five Points, the cen
ter of the city, on Peachtree Road,
and has frontage on three streets,
about 350 feet on Peachtree Road and
approximately as much on Peachtree
Way and Wesley Avenue. There are
many beautiful homes and fine apart
ment houses in the immediate neigh
borhood and there are three large
Protestant churches nearby.
The first Catholic Church in At
lanta, the original Church of the Im
maculate Conception, was a frame
building erected about 90 years ago;
it was succeeded after the War Be
tween the States by the present edi
fice. The growth of the Catholic
population of the city and its trend
toward the Peachtree section result
ed in the establishment of Sacred
Heart parish before the turn of the
century, and St. Anthony’s parish was
established a generation ago. In 1913
Our Lady of Lourdes Church was
founded for colored Catholics, with
the Fathers of the Society of African
missions in charge. Sacred Heart
Church is under the direction of the
Marist Fathers and the Immaculate
Conception, St. Anthony’s and the
Church of Christ the King are in
charge of the Diocesan clergy.
The history of the Church in At
lanta therefore is one of gradual and
steady growth, and the institutions of
the city have kept pace with the ex
pansion of the parishes. St- Joseph’s
Infirmary, conducted by the Sisters
of Mercy, is considered one of the
most efficient and best equipped in
the South, the schools, under the di
rection of the Marist Fathers, Sisters
of St. Joseph, Sisters of Mercy and
the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament,
have enviable scholastic records,
Catholic organizations are very active
and above all, the spiritual life in
the parishes prospers in a manner to
bring joy to the hearts of all who
are happy when religion flourishes.
deVineau is held. The choir was un
der the direction of Mrs. Thomas F.
Mosimann, organist at the Cathedral.
Many members, past and present,
of the Newman Club of the College
of Charleston attended the Mass and
received Holy Communion for the
repose of the soul of Father DeVi
neau; he was a charter member of
the club after his ordination he re
vived it and remained its chaplain
until his death.
The Parish- Mass in Saint Patrick's
said the same morning at seven
o’clock was offered for the repose of
the soul of Edward Bevis, one of the
boys who was killed with Father de
Vineau.
