Speaking of the Very Rev. Ig
natius Lissner, S. M. A., upon the
occasion of the recent dedication
of the new Minor Seminary and
Novitiate of the Society of Afri
can Missions, at Dedham, Mass.,
His Excellency the Most Rev.
Richard J. Cushing, Archbishop
of Boston, declared: “He has done
more for the spread of the mis
sionary work among the Colored
people in the United States than
any other man who has ever
been in our missions.”
Archbishop Cushing’s tribute to
Father Lissner should be read
with interest in Georgia where
at Savannah, in 1907, he estab
lished the first mission of his so
ciety, and where, in seven years,
under his direction, six churches
and seven schools had been erect
ed.
In Georgia, where the Society
of African Missions first started
their work four decades ago, they
have three parishes, with schools
in Savannah, and other parishes,
schools in Atlanta, Macon and Au
gusta, all giving testimony to
Father Lissner’s apostolic zeal.
Bom in Wolxhelm, Alsace,
April 6, 1867, the youngest of
fourteen children, Father Liss
ner was ordained at the Major
Seminary of the Society of Lyons,
France. He came to the United
States tu 1897, first traveling
through this country and Canada
lecturing and making appeals for
help to further the society’s work
among the Negroes. Since that
time, he has been the outstand
ing leader and organizer of the
work of the Society of African
Missions in the United States.
The establishment of the Ameri
can Province of the Society, the
six missions in Georgia, those in
Los Angeles and Tucson, with
churches and resident pastors,
schools -and efficient teaching
staffs, social halls, and orphan
ages, are all monuments to his
untiring labor, patience and zeal.
In fact, all the establishments
in charge of the Society of Afri
can Missions in the United States
were founded by Father Lissner,
except those in Illinois which
were founded by the Irish Prov
ince of the society.
Father Lissner, who is now sta
tioned at St. Anthony’s Mission
House, Tenafly, N. J., was recent
ly succeeded by Father Anthony
P. McAndrew, S. M. A., as Pro
vincial.
