PROTESTANT PARISH
OFFERS USE OF ITS
CHURCH TO- PRIEST
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
PLYMTON, N. S. — Cooperation of
a practical type was extended by the
Rev. C. U. MacNevin, Pastor of the
Plymton United Church, and the
church board:
Before the new Catholic Church
was advanced in construction far
enough to permit Father Luc Gaudet,
the parish priest, to celebrate Sunday
Mass, his congregation was apparent
ly to be without Sunday service of
any kind. It was here that Mr. McNe-
vin came to the rescue, offering the
use of the United Church each Sun
day until the Catholic edifice was
ready. The offer of the minister had
been approved by the c^iurch board.
The Mass was offered each Sunday
morning before the regular United
Church service.

ceiver! their education at the Sacred

Sisters of Mercy, with Sister Mar
tina Joseph, R. S. M., as the superior
It is now operated as a grade school
for girls and boys, the high school
department haying been discontinued,
some years ago.
Elsewhere in this issue of The
Bulletin has the story of the first com
ing of members of the Society of Je
sus to Georgia, when in the six
teenth century, Father Martinez, a
Jesuit priest, was martyred by the In
dians on Cumberland Island.
Until 1874 the Jesuits had often vis
ited Georgia giving missions, but had
no parish nor school in the state. In
that year the Rev. Theobald Butler,
S. J.,” and the Rev. Joseph Heiden-
kamp, S. J., came-to Augusta to give
a mission at St. Patrick’s Church. The
year before the Rt. Rev. William H.
Gross, C. SS. R., Bishop of Savannah,
had invited the Southern Jesuits tc
take charge of a new parish in the
city.
The invitation was accepted, and
Father Butler was appointed pastor
of the new parish, which was formally
established March 19, 1874. Father
Heidenkamp was named assistant.
Shortly after a general meeting of
the new parish members was held
under the leadership of Patrick
Walsh, distinguished editor, and later-
Mayor of Augusta, and U. S. Senator
from Georgia. Plans for a church
were discussed and rapidly executed,
and, in October, 1874, the first Mass
was celebrated in the church on Ellis
Street.
The parish flourished and its
present Sacred Heart Church was be
gun in 1897, and dedicated by Cardi
nal Gibbons in 1900. The old church
building was converted into a college,
which was conducted by the Jesuits
for a number of years.
Space does not permit the mention
of all of the pastors and assistants
who have served the parish, but
among them were; The Rev. John
Shanahan, the Rev. H. Begley, the
Rev. James Lonergan, tile Rev. D.
McKiniry, the Rev. J. O'Callaghan, the
Rev. John O'Connor, the Rev. Wil
liam Wilkinson, the Rev. J. J. Sher
ry, the Rev. John M. Salter, the Rev.
P. A. Ryan, the Rev. Rene Mac-ready,
the Rev. T. A. Cronin, the Rev. J.
B. Frankhauser, and the present pas
tor ,the Rev. J. E. O'Donohoe, S. J.
The Rev. James A. Greeley, S. J., is
the assistant at the Sacred Heart
Church, and the Rev. D. J. Foulkes,
S. J., of the Jesuit Missionary Band,
makes the church his headquarters.
In eonestion with the church, a
parochial school is conducted by the
Sisters of Mercy, with Sister Mar
tina Joseph. R. S. M., the superior.
James Ryder Randall, author of the
immortal “Maryland, My Maryland",
was a member of the parish, and a
monument to his memory stands in
the parkway on Greene Street that is
faced by the church.
Captain P. H. Rice, K. C. S. G., a
leader in the work of the Catholic
Laymen's Association, and the
Knights of Columbus. for many
