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.

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.
