ATLANTA, Ga —In announcing
that the annual campaign on be
half of the Catholic Charities of
the Diocese of Savannah would
begin on Passion Sunday, the Most
Rev. Gerald P. O’Hara, D. D., J.
U D., Bishop of Savannah-Atlan-
ta, recalled that during the last
nine years it has been possible,
thanks to the eo-operation and
generosity of the priests and peo
ple of the Diocese, to undertake a
substantial forward movement in
the sacred cause of religion in
this diocese.
Many factors want into this pro
gram of growth and expansion,
said Bishop O’Hara, new churches
had to be built and priests to serve
them had to be obtained, for the
proper maintenance of whom
provision had to be made. Vaca
tion schools for religious instruc
tion, particularly the one at Camp
Villa Marie, had to be established
to make it possible for children
living in regions where there were
no priest or church, to secure at
least a minimum of proper in
struction in the truths ol their
holy faith. Again and again the
Diocese had to come to the assist
ance of already existing parishes
in order to help them meet ex
penses. The Catholic Evidence
Guild was inaugurated as a valid
means of allaying prejudice and
enlightening non-Catholics regard
ing the teachings of the Catholic
Church.
Priests living in need and Hay
ing immense territory to cover in
tbc missionary sections of the Dio-
i cese had to be provided with trans
portation. so that they could bring

scattered flocks.
To these and many other needs
Bishop O’Hara had to be alert and
provident. Last year the Catholic
people of Georgia contributed
$29,338.98 to the Catholic Chari
ties of the Diocese of Savannuh-
Atlanta, and every cent of this
amount was spent judiciously.
Now, there is not a group of
Catholics of any size in the Dio
cese which does not have Mass
every Sunday of the year; even
those smaller groups, for whom
so far it has not been possible to
provide a church, live near enough
to a Catholic church to make it
reasonably possible for them to as
sist at Mass, to hear the Word of
God, and to receive the Sacra
ments every Sunday of the year.
Bishop O'Hara disclosed a con
soling situation which prevails.
Among all of the Dioceses in the
United States, more than one hun
dred and twenty of them, the Dio
cese of Savannah-Atlanta stands
third in its percentage of conver
sions to the Catholic schools this
year. With respect to enrollment
in Catholic schools, this Diocese
ranks third, in proportion, among
all of the dioceses of the country.
The Rev. Thomas L. Finn, Dio
cesan Director of Catholic Chaii-
ties, w'hosc headquarters are at
the rectory of the Cathedral of
Christ the King in Atlanta, has
urged that pledges Ibis year be
made as large as possible, doubling
the subscriptions of last year, it
possible.
Each Sunday evening at 10:30,
the Rev. Nicholas Frizelle, pastor
of the Immaculate Conception
Chuch, conducts a Catholic pro
gram over Dublin’s new radio sta
tion, WMLT. The program has
been most favorably commented
upon by non-Catholics as w'ell as
Catholics.
