Thomas Price Father Peter Denges Now Center in Dio Pastor of Pioneer Mission cese of Raleigh St- Mary’s Church, Goldsboro, N. C., has the distinction of having been built by the Rev. Thomas 'Price, co founder of the Maryknoll Fathers, who died on the Chinese missions for which he did such historic work. It was in 1889 that Father Price gave this pioneer congregation the church, he then making Goldsboro the cen ter of his missionary labors. When he left for Nazareth to establish the North Carolina Apostolate, Goldsboro was visited by him at regular inter vals. When Father Price departed for his historic work for the missions in the Far East, Goldsboro was served by a series of zealous priests including Father P. F. Quinn, Father T. W. Stapleton, Father W. T. Thearty, Father C. B. Harrison and Father F. J. Gallagher. In 1915 Goldsboro again became a parish and a mission with Father A. R. Freeman, as pastor.

When the Diocese of Ral eigh was established a decade ago, the Goldsboro parish included such cities as Kinston, Roanoke Rapids, Wilson and other places which now are msision centers themselves with resident pastors. In 1925 Monsignor Freeman acquir ed a splendid residence in a most de sirable part of Goldsboro, and two years later it became a combination parochial school and convent, with the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary as teachers, one of the num erous schools established in the Dio cese, since its erection and the con secration of Bishop Hafey. The splendid work of Father Free man at Goldsboro led Jo his appoint ment by Bishop Hafey as rector of the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart at Raleigh; he was also appointed chan cellor and subsequently vicar-general of the Diocese of Raleigh. The Holy Father has elevated him to the rank of prelate with the title of Rt- Rev. Monsignor, and in June of 1934 Mt. St. Mary's College, his alma mater in Maryland, conferred on him the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws, honors which have brought great pleasure to Monsignor Freeman’s na tive city, which still claims him al though his new duties require his residence in the See and Capital City. Monsignor Freeman was succeeded in Goldsboro by the Rev. Peter Den ges, who has been laboring on the missions since his ordination in 1927. His parish is the center of the vast missionary district including Bowden, Mt. Olive. Faison, Pikesville, Warsaw, Kenansville and other communities.

C.—As a fitting prelude to the pre-holiday activities St. Genevieve’s was privileged to re ceive two famous artists, Miss Mil dred Dilling, internationally known harpist, entertained the faculty and student body with her skillful per formance and her gracious person ality. Her program included selec tions from Bach, Liszt, Penie, and Debrussy, also Miss Dilling returned for several encores. Jose Iturbi, noted pianist, after giving a concert in Asheville, visited St. Genevieve's and paid his respects to the Sisters. Mr. Iturbi has travel ed extensively in Europe where he has fulfilled many concert engage ments; he thus made several interest ing contacts with the personnel of St. Genevieve’s. The students of the College, Acad emy, and Preparatory Departments sponsored the Annual Christmas Ba zaar in December. The gaily decorat ed booths displayed attractive ar rays of needlework, novelties, cake, candy, and other items. During the two evenings of the bazaar, delicious chicken dinners were served, after which the drawing for the door prizes occurred. The whole affair was an outstanding success and marked one of the most prominent event in the school term. On the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, the Sodality of the Children of Mary, held their semi-an nual reception in the convent chapel. After receiving of the aspirants and Children of Mary, the Rev. Father Joseph, O. F- M., gave an inspiring sermon on the power of obedience. After the ceremony in the chapel, the guests and students enjoyed an en tertaining program in the auditor ium. There were two Christmas pro grams given at St. Genevieve’s this year which ushered in the joyous Christmastide. The Sixth and Seventh Classes of the Grammar School presented a lovely Christmas play, ‘'There Was One Who Gave a Lamb,” on December 17. A small boy. in offering his cherished lamb to the Christ Child, opened the eyes and hearts of his fellow beings to the beauty and mystery of the first Christmas. The two upper classes were assisted by the fourth and fifth classes who sang several English and French Carols. The audience greatly appreciated the children’s perfor mance, and the program gave that delightful touch always contributed by the little ones. On December 20, the Academy od St. Genevieve-of-the-Pines presented a beautiful Christmas mystery play centering around the shepherds oa the Judean hills. The four scenes depicted the Bethlehem shepherds on the holy night of the Messiah's birth, and the last scene consisted of the tableau around the manger of the Divine Child. Between the scenes many beautiful carols and hymns were sung by costumed carolers. The talented acting and the artis tic stage effects made the play a great success and the audience ex perienced that awed peace that is an integral part of Christmas. The Christmas holidays began De cember 21 ;the boarding students re turned January 10, resuming classes January 11. The second semester will start the first part of February.
