TEACHING AT PAROCHIAL
SCHOOLS IN SAVANNAH
BISHOP O'HARA TO
DEDICATE CHURCH
AT WARNER ROBINS
(Special to The Bulletin)
WARNER ROBINS, Ga.—The re
cently completed Sacred Heart
Church in Warner Robins, the first
Catholic church to be built in
Houston County, will be formally
dedicated on the afternoon of Oc
tober 7, at 4:30 o’clock, by the
Most Rev. Gerald P. O’Hara, D. D..
J. U. D., Bishop of Savannah-At
lanta.
Following the dedication cere
mony. a buffet supper will be
served the visiting clergy by (lie
Sacred Heart Altar • Society, of
which Mrs. R. E. Wallace is presi
dent.
The new church is an outstand
ing example of Gothic architecture,
conceded to be the most beautiful
of the five new brick churches
which have been built in this war-
born city of 10,000 population.
With a seating capacity of 178, Ihc
cliurch is antique in its interior
finish, with pew; of chestnut and
altars of Tennessee marble. Ad
joining the church, with which it
is connected by a cloister garth,
is a recreational center for the
parish, equipped with kitchenette
and other facilities.
For ihe past three years the
three hundred or more Catholic
residents of Warner Robins have
assisted at Mass on Sunday either
i Ihe Post Chapel of the Robins
Field Army Air Base or in the
Youth Center Building. ;
Jesuit Fathers from St. Joseph’s
Church in Macon, the Very Rev.
llarold A. Gaudin, S. J.. the Rev
Richard Needham, S. J., and the
Rev. Michael McNally, S. J.. have
been serving the local Catholic
community, and the new church
will be a charge of the priests in
Macon.
Lt. Col. William J. Walsh, of the
U. S. Army Chaplains Corps, and
former Chief of Chaplains at War-1
ner Robins Air Technical Service
Command at Robins Field, aided
the Macon clergy. Chaplain Walsh,
who is now stationed at McClel
land Field, California, is expect-,
ed to attend the dedication o’; the i
new church here.
Since the mission parish was or
ganized in Warner Robins, Sisters
of Mercy from Macon have taught J
SUnday School classes for Ihc
children after the Masses each
Sunday.
While the population of Warner i
Rabins lias decreased since Ihe end
of the war, a further decline of
any consequences is regarded as
unlikely, and opportunity for a
hcallhy growth of the Church here
was indicated by a recent religi-
i census.
Mass was offered in the new
church for the first time on Sep
tember 23 by Father Gaudin.
