Campaign Being Launched for
Erection of 100 to 150 Bed
New Year’s Eve
Party in Way cross
Catholic Hospital in Columbus
(Special to The Bulletin)
COLUMBUS, Ga. — Erection of
a Catholic hospital costing be
tween $750,000 and $1,000,000 has
been proposed for Columbus.
The Most Rev. Gerald P. O’Hara,
D. D., J. U. D., Bishop of Savan-
nah-Atlanta, told a meeting of
local citizens that a nursing Or
der of Sisters could be secured to
operate the hospital and that the
Sisters could be counted upon to
provide about one-third of the
capital outlay, and the remainder
would have to be raised through
contributions.
Plans call for the construction of
a hospital with a capacity of from
one hundred to one hundred and
fifty beds, which would be open
to all, without distinction of re
ligion or race.
Dr. Arthur Berry, who presided
at the meeting, said that the pro
ject had the endorsement of mem
bers of the medical profession in
Columbus. He said that he had ap
proached Bishop O’Hara six years
ago in regard to the establishment
of. a Catholic hospital here, but
that at that time it was impractica
ble to proceed with the plan. In
concluding his remarks, Dr. Berry
cited the successful effort on the
part of the people of Augusta to
raise funds for the construction of
a Catholic hospital in the city.
Members of Bishop Gross Coun
cil, No. 1019, Knights of Colum
bus, are taking a prominent part
in promoting a Catholic hospital
here. Grand Knight Richard II.
Fleming and Financial Secretary
William W. Pfaff are on the execu
tive committee of the fund raising
campaign.
Many of the outstanding citizens
of Columbus and Muscogee Coun
ty attended the meeting and a
number of substantial initial dona
tions were made to the hospital
fund.
Philippine-Born Priests Leave

LEO T. CROWLEY, former
foreign economic administrator,
lias been invested with the insignia
of Knight Commander with Star
of the Order of Pius XI by His
Holiness Pope Plus XII. It is the
third highest award which the
Church can bestow on a layman.
AUGUSTA, Ga.—Ending years
of exile from their homeland, the
Rev. Angel Pcngson, assistant
pastor of St. Mary’s-on-The-Hill
Church in Augusta, and the Rev.
Serafin Ocampo, assistant rector
of the Cathedral of St. John the
Baptist, left this month for the
Philippines.
Father Pcngson, who has made
many friends during his stay in
Augusta, was engaged in post-
ordination study of theology and
canon law at the Gregorian Uni
versity in Rome when the Jap
anese attack on Pearl Harbor
gave him the status of an enemy
alien in Italy.
With other civilians of nations
which were at war with the Axis
powers, Father Pengson was ex
changed by the Italian govern
ment and made his way to Lisbon.
Portugal, from where he sailed
to the United States.
Arriving in Philadelphia, as a
war refugee, he was offered a
haven in the Diocese of Savannah-
Atlanta by Bishop O’Hara, and
with a companion, Father Alex
ander Olalia, came to Georgia, in
the summer of 1942. Alter spend
ing some time in Georgia, Father
Olalia left for Washington, D. C.,
to enter the Catholic University
of America, but Father Pengson
remained in Georgia for the dura
tion of the war, serving first at
St. Joseph’s Church in Athens,
and then at St. Patrick’s Church
and at St. Mary’s-on-The-Hill
Church in Augusta.
Father Ocampo left his home in
Manila, where his father, Dr.
Generosa Ocampo, is connected
with a government hospital, eight
years ago. He was studying for
the priesthood 'at the Gregorian
College in Rome at the outbreak
of the war. Being permitted to
come to the United States, in
1942, he continued his theological
study at St. Charles Borromeo
Seminary, Overbrook, Pa., and
was ordained in Philadelphia in
February of last year.
Subsequent to fyis ordination,
he came to the Diocese of Savan-
nah-Atlanta, where he has served
most recently at the Blessed
Sacrament Church and the Cathe
dral in Savannah.
In Augusta, friends of Father
Pengson gathered at the Catholic
Community Center to bid him
farewell, and on their behalf,
James B. Mulherin presented the
priest from the Philippines with
a purse as a token of the high
esteem in which he was held in
this city, and he and Father
Ocampo received the best wishes
from their friends in Savannah at
a farewell reception given in their
honor in that city by Bishop
O’Hara.
