Mrs. William J. McAlpin, ol Allanla,
Member of National Board of N. C. C. W.
Speahs at Meeting of Augusta Deanery
AUGUSTA, Ga.—Speaking at a
lunchcort-meeling of the Augusta
Deanery Council of the National
Council of Catholic Women, held
at the Sheraton Bon Air Hotel, on
October 20, Mrs. William J. Mc
Alpin. who was elected to the
National Board of Directors of the
N. C. W. C. W. at the national con
vention held in Kansas City last
month, strongly urged that the
Deanery Council sponsor “Canaan
Conferences” as a part of its Fami
ly Life program.
Mrs. McAlpin, who is the im
mediate past president of the Sa-
vannah-Atlanta Diocesan Council
of the N. C. C. W., said that from
what she had learned of such con
ferences at the national convention,
she believed that the idea could be
adopted and put in practice under
the auspices of the N. C. C. W.
in Georgia.
She said that the “Canaan Con
ferences had been most successful
in Toledo, where they took the
form of- dinner-meetings at which
husbands and wives, particularly
young married couples, could hear
a series of discussions on the
problems of family life,
Under the Toledo plan, she said,
there was a series of lectures, hy
a priest, a psychologist, a pedia
trician. a medical man, a banker,
and other experts in various fields,
with discussions on maternal care,
child care, home economics and
other subjects.
Mrs. McAlpin said that the reso
lutions adopted at the Kansas
City convention were worthy of
the thoughtful consideration of
every member of the N. C. C. W.,
and that these resolutions would
be available in printed form, and
that she would suggest that a copy
of them be handed to every woman
entering the church door.
Father John D. Toomey, pastor
of the Sacred Heart Church, in
Milledgcville, who is spiritual di
rector of the Diocgsan Council of
the N. C. C. W„ told the story of
the apparitions at Fatima, in Portu
gal, and urged ah increase in devo
tion to Our Lady of Fatima, in the
form of more frequent recitation
of the Hosary, the first Saturday
Communion, with the meditation
on the mysteries of the Rosary.
He recalled that Our Lady of
Fatima had asked for prayers for
the conversion of Russia and the
restoration of peace-to the world,
and stated that lasting peace would
not be attained unless there was
a change in the attitude of the
Soviet government.
Miss Helen Hoe Nugent, of Sa
vannah, president of the Savannah-
Atlanta Diocesan Council, report
ed on the Kansas City convention,
and explained why the resolution
proposed by the Augusta Deanery,
in respect to Christmas cards, was
not included among the resolu
tions adopted at the convention.
She said that one of the main
themes of fhe deliberations of the
convention was the promotion of
a more intensive study of social,
civic and international affairs in
Ihe light of the teachings of the
Church.
Monsignor James J. Grady, V. F..
pastor of St. Mary’s-bn-the-IIill
Church, spoke briefly, stressing
the value of united action, and the
threat to unity that is caused hy
destructive criticism.
