BRUNSWICK SCHOOL
HOLDS OPEN HOUSE
(Special to The Bulletin)
BRUNSWICK, Ga. — With the
completion of renovations, "Open
House’’ was held at St. Joseph’s
School and Convent here on Jan
uary 3. Benefactors and friends,
who attended in great numbers,
were pleasantly surprised at the
change which their generosity and
the untiring efforts of the Rev.
Philip A. Hasson, S. M., pastor of
St. Francis Xavier Church, had
made possible. They found class
rooms completely renovated, the
walls newly papered, desks sand
ed and varnished, new' blackboards
and bulletin boards installed. Seat
ing capacity was enlarged by the
addition of fifty-four desks to
meet the present enrollment, which
has increased 200 per cent since
renovations were begun with the
installation of a new heating sys
tem in November, 1941. In the ad
ditional classroom, opened in Sep
tember, all new equipment had
been placed. A school library has
been opened and generous dona
tions promise to make it adequate
for children of all ages.
The interior of the convent has
been done over in shades of pale
blue, pale green and ivory. New
rugs and furniture have been plac
ed in each room. The chapel has
been redecorated in pale blue and
ivory. A liturgical altar, behind
which hangs a blue velvet curtain,
has been installed. New ivory Sta
tions enhance the beauty of the
chapel. Fluroescent lights have
been placed in the chapel, library,
community room and classrooms.
The Sisters of St. Joseph, and
the pupils of St. Joseph’s School,
are deeply grateful to Father Has
son and all who were instrumental
in making the improvements pos
sible. A former pupil, now a stu
dent at the University of Georgia,
remarked as he saw the improve
ments: “Yoti kept ttye same light
ning rods, but put a new house
under them.”
Bishop Walsh Celebrates
Mass at 75th Anniversary
Observance of Aiken Parish
( Special to The Bulletin)
AIKEN, S. C.—In commemora
tion of the seventy-fifth anni
versary of the dedication of the
first Catholic church in Aiken, the
Most Rev. Emmet M. Walsh, D. D.,
Bishop of Charleston, celebrated
a Solemn Pontifical Mass at St.
Mary Help of Christians Church
here on Sunday, December 20.
Bishop Walsh was assisted in the
celebration of the Diamond Jubi
lee Mass by the Rev. Dennis P.
Lanigan, chaplain of St. Francis
Xavier Infirmary, Charleston, and
a former pastor of the parish in
Aiken, as assistant priest. Other
officers of the Mass were the Rev.
Eugene Helldorfer, C. SS. R., of
Orangeburg, and the Rev. Bern
ard Brady, O. M. I., Augusta, dea
cons of honor; the Rev. Thomas A.
Brennan, Augusta, deacon gf the
Mass; the Rev. John Healy, Chap
lain at Daniel Field Air Base, Au
gusta, subdeacon; the Rev. John J.
McCarthy, of Charleston, and the
Rev. George Laugel, S. M. A.,
of Augusta, masters of ceremony.
Serving in the sanctuary were
George Lenz, Jr., Lawton Lenz,
Cleve Thomas, Ronald Burchard,
and Raymond Burchard.
In his sermon, Bishop Walsh re
called incidents in the history of
Catholicity in Aiken county from
1540, when priests with the ex
pedition of Hernando De Soto of
fered Mass for the Spanish con-
quistadores at Silver Bluff, and
when priests who came to this sec
tion with Juan Pardo a few years
later, preached to the Indians at
their village on the banks of the
Savannah River below Augusta.
Bishop Walsh related how the
first Catholic church in Aiken was
built in 1867, on almost the same
site now> occupied by St. Mary’s
Church, by Bishop Ignatius Persi-
co, who after his return to his
home in Italy ' from the missions
in India, was attracted to this coun
try by what he had heard of the
climate of South Carolina from
Bishoy Patrick N. Lynch, of
Charleston, who was the repre
sentative of Jefferson Davis, Presi
dent of the Confederacy, at the
Holy See during the War Between
the States.
The church erected by Bishop
Persico, who afterwards was made
Bishop of Savannah, and later a
Cardinal in Rome, was destroyed
by a tornado in 1878, and the small
brick church, dedicated to St.
Claire of the Holy Cross, was erect
ed here in 1879. When the develop
ment of Aiken as a winter resort
brought congregations that the lit
tle church could not accomodate,
the present St. Mary's Church was
built, and dedicated by Bishop
Henry P. Northrop in 1905.
St. Mary's choir, under the di
rection of Mrs. F. E. Ardley, with
Mrs. Leo Hayes, -Mrs. George
Piacietelli, and Miss Noretta Mur
phy as soloists, and Sister M. de
Neri, as organist, sang Wiegand's
Mass of the Immaculate Concep
tion during the services: Leo
Hayes, Lyman Schroeder, Michael
D. Kaney and Warren Kruger act
ed as ushers.
Following the celebration of the
Jubilee Mass, Bishop Walsh and
asisting clergy were guests of the
Rev. George Lewis Smith, pastor
of St. Mary’s Church, at a lunch
eon served in the parish rectory.
