KERRY, NOTED SOCIOLOGIST, DIES Catholic University Faculty Member Was Editor of the Ecclesiastical Review (By N. C. W. C. News Service) WASHINGTON. — The Rt. Rev. Msgr. William J.

Monsig nor Kerby’s sister, Miss Josephine Kerby, died the day following at the age of 76. The Most Rev. Michael J. Curley, Archbishop of Baltimore, and Chan cellor of the Catholic University, once said that “no priest in the na tion has ever been raised to the dig nity of Domestic Prelate who was more deserving of it than Monsig nor Kerby.” A native of Lawlor, la., Monsignor Kerby attended public and parish schools, St. Joseph’s College in Du buque; St. Francis Seminary, Mil waukee; the Catholic University in 1893, was ordained in 1892, and fol lowing his college work traveled abroad and studied at the Universi ties of Berlin and Louvain.

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- The Washington province of the Marist Fathers, which Father Sulli van heads, extends from St. Paul to New Orleans, and from Baltimore and Philadelphia to San Francisco.

Anniversary Mass for Father C.E.DeVineau Sung at St. Patrick’s, Char leston, on Second Anniver sary of His Death (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. Richard Madden. The large attendance of the laity at the Mass, which was sung at eight o'clock, indicates the high esteem and holy memory in which Father 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.
