colored parish in each city. A store
was rented in Webbtown, the col
ored section of Goldsboro, and
Mass was celebrated there with

who were interested in the Catholic
Faith. In Rocky Mount, a tempo

C.SS.R., being in charge, while the
Rev. Thomas O'Connor, C.SS.R.,
was assigned to Goldsboro. In 1942
property was purchased for the
erection of twin churches in the

with rectories attached, were com
pleted a few weeks ago.

ed the Goldsboro mission, is now
