Lay Retreatants
Adopt Resolutions
WASHINGTON, Ga. — The fol
lowing Resolutions were submit
ted and adopted at the annual
meeting of the Retreat Section of
the Catholic Laymen’s Association
of Georgia, held at the conclu
sion of ’the twenty-second annual
Retreat at St. Joseph’s Home here:
Nazi-Belgian Paper
Sees Catholics as
Nazisms Chief Foe
WHITEVILLE PARISH
SPONSORS RELIGIOUS
VACATION SCHOOL
NEW YORK—That Nazis con
sider the Communists of less dan
ger to their “New Order” in Eu
rope than the Catholics is demon
strated by an editorial in Vooruit,
former Socialist and now Nazi-con
trolled daily of Ghent, Belgium,
a copy of which has reached here.
“No I do not think the Com
munists are the big danger,” says
‘"the article. It expresses belief
that “the strongest opposition
against the loyal struggle for So
cialism comes from the clergy,”
and “various organizations which
they establish everywhere.” “I do
not exaggerate” the writer states,
“when I say that these priests are
the soul of the opposition against
collaboration with Germany for
the realization of the European
New Order. Have you not seen
the interest displayed by the priests
in the Boy Scout organization?
Whenever possible they establish
a new Scout group. These Scouts
are the bearers of anti-Socialist,
anti-German and pro-British pro
paganda. I know their leaders in
this district and I can say that
they are all pro-British and pub
lish poisonous clandestine pamph
lets.”
After violently denouncing other
Catholic organizations, like the
Catholic Youth Association and
Catholic Labor groups, the author
of the article complains that in
“western Flemish villages the
priests have established an organi
zation called the Crusaders.” “Ev
eryone knows against whom the
crusade is aimed,” the article adds.
“The activities of these camouflag
ed opposition organizations suffice
to prove that the agitators are
clerics.”

Term Begins September 9
Mr. Chairman and Fellow Re
treatants:
Your Resolutions Committee
has the honor to submit the fol
lowing report:
1. On this 22nd annual retreat
under the auspices of the Catholic
Laymen’s Association of Georgia
we first offer to Almighty God
our thanks for the opportunity
He has again given us to enjoy His
intimate companionship for these
few days.
We extend a cordial welcome to
those who this year had their
first meeting with us, and hope
that their experience met all an
ticipations and resulted in a de
termination by them to meet with
us again next year and each bring,
if possible, a new member.
2. We renew the mutual prom
ise made on the occasion of our
own first retreat, to always include
in our night prayers three Jlail
Marys for the intention of a nap
py death for our fellow retreat
ants and our Reverend Retreat-
masters, and we venture to hope
that our Union of Prayer may be
indefinitely self-perpetuated.
3. We greet with enthusiastic
acclaim the new League of Mary
Immaculate, formed under the
auspices of. the Catholic Laymen’s
Association of Georgia to pray for
our Lady’s intercession for Vic
tory and a just Peace to soon term
inate the war we entered on her
feast day. We promise to spread
the devotion in our own parishes
to the end that she will hear our
many voices and grant our suppli
cations, remembering that never
was it known that anyone who
sought for help and implored her
intercession was left unaided.
4. We believe that among the
faithful of our diocese may be
formed, under the auspices of the
Catholic Laymen’s Association of
Georgia, still other groups for
Catholic Action that will have
special appeal to many men of
many minds and which will afford
the means of expressing then-
aspirations.
We recommend that this
thought beg iven earnest consider
ation before the annual session of
the Catholic Laymen's Association
of Georgia in October at Macon,
so that steps may be taken then to
create, if need be, the proper ad
ministrative structure to meet
the desire for increased activity
and added importance of the an
nual sessions.
5. We express our earnest
thanks to our esteemed Retreat-
master, the Rev. Joseph P. Turner,
C.SS.R., who again has made a
long journey to guide us in our
recollections and meditations and
to lead us closer to God during
these few days. We have all taken
to heart his exhortations on the
value and importance of charac
ter building, and wil not soon for
get the fundamental need of prin
ciple in character development.
We hope and pray that his 61
years may be increased well be
yond the four-score-odd years of
his most estimable parents, and
that he may continue to reap rich
and abundant harvests of souls
for the Greater Honor and Glory
of God.
6. We offer our special thanks
to the Rev. John F. Crean, the an
gelic Sisters of St. Joseph, and
their boys, for their kind hospital
ity and entertainment during our
22nd annual retreat. This is the
12th year we have been their
guests, and in one of these inter
vening years, in 1936, two sepa
rate groups in different months
were provided for here by them.
We are fully aware that they
must view our arrival with
dread, having to surrender to us
their own quarters for our ac
commodation, putting up, them
selves, with few conveniences and
fewer comforts while we are here.
We beg them to be assured of
our heartfelt gratitude, and that
certainly we attribute a great
share of the graces we receive
from the retreat to their arrange
ments for our benefit, for all of
MACON, Ga.—Funeral services
for Mrs. Rosa Sanchez Holloway,
wife of J. M. Holloway, retired
railway engineer, were held from
St. Joseph’s Church, the Rev. Wil
liam Reagan, S. J., officiating. Mrs.
Holloway died on June 25, follow
ing a short illness.
The daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Emanuel .Sanchez, Mrs. Holloway
was born in Elkton, Fla. She came
to Macon soon after her mariage
fifty-two years ago and has lived
here since. She is survived by her
husband two sons, E. P. Holloway,
Savannah, and E. H. Holloway,
Macon; three sisters, Miss Maude
Sanchez, Mrs. Jessie Masters and
Mrs. Lizzie Masters, and a brother,
Russell Sanchez, all of St. Augus
tine.
which we most certainly will re
member them in our prayers.
7. We recommend that these
sentiments be communicated to
our fellow retreatants at the Sa
vannah session for their consid
eration and concurrence, and that
they beg iven such publicity as
may be afforded by the official or
gan of the Catholic Laymen’s As
sociation of Georgia.
All of which, this 19th day of
July, 1942, is respectfully sub
mitted.
