Greenville Colored Parish
Was Established Last Year
Franciscan Fathers Serve
Congregation of Chapel of
Saint Anthony
(Special To The Bulletin)
GREENVILLE, S. C.—St. An
thony's Chapel and the Friary of
the Franciscan Fathers, devoted to
work among the colored people of
Greenville and its vicinity, the first
parish for colored in this section of
South Carolina, was established last
year, being dedicated in November
by the Most Reverend Emmet M
Walsh, D. D., Bishop of Charleston.
The mission property, which is lo
cated in the most densely populated
Negro section in Greenville, covers
a six acre tract of land. The build
ing. which was erected last year, in
cludes a chapel which can accommo
date a congregation of about one
hundred, and living quarters for the
Franciscan Fathers who are engaged
in the work. The residential portion
of the building contains five bed
rooms, reception rooms, dining room,
office, kitchen and a sun porch.
Although the chapel is small, it is
strictly liturgical in all its appoint
ments. The Rev. Joseph McGrath,
O. F. M., is pastor, with the Rev.
Paul Anthony Plummer, O. F. M.,
assistant. There are about a hun
dred parishioners and a number of
adults and children are under in
struction.
While the Fransican Fathers have
been in Greenville only a short time,
results have been remarkably suc
cessful, and it is the hope of the
Fathers in charge that a church and
a school will be erected in the near
future.
Priest at Sumter
Was Only Catholic
in Colored Parish
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
SUMTER. S. C.—No longer is the
Rev. C. McIntyre, O. M. I., the only
Catholic in his parish.
In the eight months of the parish's
existence here in the heart of the
“black belt” conversions have brought
the parish's congregation to 13 colored
Catholics.
Nor is Father McIntyre the only
priest. So successful has been his
apostolate here in less than a year,
the Rev. George Morrill, O. M. I.,
has been assigned to assist him. The
chapel attached to the new rectory
is already too small. Hundreds of
the 1,300 colored here are seeking
instruction, while 64 have already
became catechumens.

twelve weeks.
The school is designed to give those
who enroll clear ideas of the funda
mental Christian Teachings on God,
Man, Jesus Christ, and the Bible.

not Catholics, and membership is by

work in Charleston, as founder of
Bishop England High School and its
rector over a period of 25 years.
Alwayas a forceful speaker, he has
been engaged recently in a series

years, his present series being entitled
