In this, the twenty-fourth year

Altar linens, prepared by Mrs.
Hannah McDonough, were sup
plied to the mission at Statesboro.

Mary’s Church, Americus, and two
needy mission were remembered

signor James J. Grady, the society
realized a substantial sum and
the usual contributions were made
to the seminary collection and the
fund for infirm priests.
With the gracious approval of
Our Most Reverend Bishop, we
conducted during October, our
appeal for the missions at the
doors of the churches, and the re
sults were most gratifying, $500
being realized. We wish to express
our appreciation to the local pas
tors for their cooperation in this
campaign.
Letters were sent to Senators
George and Russell and Congress
man Peterson, protesting the pas
sage of the Equal Rights bill.
We regret to report no activity
of the State board, as there has
been no meeting since our last
annual report.
We wish to express pur thanks
to Our Most Reverend Bishops,
and the clergy of Savannah, for
their kindly cooperation, and to
our constant benefactors, Mrs.
Raphael T, Semmes, Miss Ellen
Gilhooley, the Ladies Auxiliary of
the Ancient Order of Hibernians,
and to the officers and members
of our society.
For the courtesy of the press,
we thank The Bulletin, The Savan
nah Morning News and The Savan
nah Evening Press.
Closing we repeat the words of
the founder in a plea for frequent

ther, Pope Pius XII.
