Sister Mary Raphael
Dies in Washington
WASHINGTON, Ga. — Sister
Mary Raphael Mulroy, of the Sis
ters of St. Joseph of Carondolet,
died at St. Joseph’s Home here on
June 26, funeral services being
held from the convent chapel with
the Rev. John Crean, director of
St. Joseph's Home, offering the
Requiem Mass, with the Rev.
James E. King, pastor of St. Jos
eph’s Church, Athens, assisting.
Sister Raphael was born in
County Mayo, Ireland, but came to
this country with her parents as a
child. The Mulroys settled in West
Stockbridge and later in Pittsfield,
Mass., and it was from the latter
city that Miss Anne Mulroy came
to Washington. Ga., to enter the
community of the Sisters of St.
Joseph’s, as Sister Mary Raphael,
on the Feast of St. Joseph, March
19, 1902.
The early years of Sister Raph
ael’s religious life were spent at
St. Joseph’s Academy, Washington,
where her kind understanding and
motherly sympathy endeared her
to the many students who came
under her supervision. After the
disastrous fire in 1912, which de
stroyed St. Joseph’s Academy
here, Sister Raphael went to
Mount St. Joseph in Augusta,
where she remained until the
boarding school was discontinued.
She then taught for some years in
the parochial schools of Savannah,
Atlanta and Brunswick. The last
six years of her life were spent at
St. Joseph’s Home here.
Although in failing health for
some months, Sister Raphael was
confined to bed for only a week.
She is survived by two sisters,
Miss Margaret Mulroy, who was
with her at the time of her death,
and Mrs. John O’Neill; two neph
ews, Edward O’Neill and James
O’Neill, and a niece Mary O’Neill,
all of Pittsfield, Mass.

have assisted you, my profound
gratitude.”
“I am asking Monsignor Grady
to read this letter because I
know that if I were to send it
to you, you would not permit it
to be read.
“Ever since I first met you
I have observed the deep and
vital interest that you always
manifested in the Church and
particularly in that Catholic group
in Georgia known as the Catholic
Layman’s Association of Georgia.
You have been absolutely tireless
in your zeal to advance the cause
of this association. Busy man,
though you are, you do not hesi
tate to sacrifice many days of
your time during the year in be
half of the Church in Georgia.
“Not only in Atlanta but in
other cities of the State you have
proven the great love that you
have for the Church- Many times
you have made ’ong tiresome trips
in order to sustain enthusiasm
amongst others for the objectives
of the Catholic Laymen’s Asso
ciation of Georgia. 1 confess that
this magnificent activity on your
part has been to me a source of
edification and inspiration.
“It was your idea to hold a
special Mass today and Com
munion Breakfast for the mem
bers of the Atlanta Branch of our
association. It is typical of you
