St. Mary’s Guild
Meets in Goldsboro
(Special to The Bulletin)
GOLDSBORO, N. C.—The Rev.
Lawrence C. Newman, pastor of
St. Mary’s Church, honorary presi-
dent, presided at the .January
meeting of St. Mary's Catholic
Guild, held at the parish center.
Father Newman placed before
the Guild a program of activity
tor the spiritual life of the parish
which lie hoped would L-c accom
plished by members of the guild
during tlie year. Among activities
which were outlined for the ma
terial benefit of the parish, was
a greater use of the parish library
and the formation of a hostess
committee to assist in carrying out
the plans for a/man’s club in the
parish.
St. Mary's Guild, the only parish
aid, social auxiliary and lay con
tact with civic life of the 'Catho
lic Church in Goldsboro, stems
from tliat valiant band, the women
of the first four pioneer Catholic
families who fostered the Faith in
this community and aided the first
missionary priests who served
Goldsboro, first as a miss’on
station, and then as a mission,
until the first St. Mary’s Church
was built in 1889, and until a
resident pastor was assigned to
the parish here. The selfless ser
vice of its founders is the stan
dard followed by the Guild mem
bership of today, parish activity
and in civic relations.
Following the business meeting
there was a social hour, with Miss
Eunice Freeman, Miss’ Pauline
Farfour and Mrs. Thomas Shelby
as hostesses.

CHAPLAIN ROBINSON
Chaplain Charles A. Robinson,
S. J., who acted as interpreter with
the fiirst Navy unit to enter J..-
pan, predicts a bright future for
the Catholic Church there. If
the blood of martyrs is the seed
of Christians, Japan will be a
Catholic nation," he writes in an
article in the February number
of “Jesuit Missions.” “From 1587
to 1640 more Japanese Catholics
died for the Faith than all the
martyrs put to death in the ten
persecutions of Rome. The Japa
nese have a tenacity of purpose
unequalled in any other race.”
Now tliat governmenlal and
Shintoist restrictions which prev
iously hindered the Church have
been removed, Chaplain Robinson
expects a more rapid expansion of
Catholicism. “But we American
Catholics must help, especially by
sending missionaries at once. The
Japanese will welcome American
missionaries especially if they
eoine with solid scientific know
ledge of Christian charity. i
found no resentment at all against
Americans.”
From 1923 to 1926 Father Rob
inson taught at the Catholic Uni
versity in Tokyo. When he enter
ed the Navy at the outbreak of the
war he was a professor of Psychol
ogy at St. Louis University. At
tiie time of the Japanese surren
der he was Catholic chaplain of
the USS Missouri hut because of
his knowledge of the Japanese
language lie was detached from
the ship and made interpreter with
the first Navy unit to enter Japan.
