K. of C. in Atlanta
Hosts to Havailanfa
Visitors From Cuba
ATLANTA, Ga. — Inaugurating
this year’s gala “Havalanta” cele
bration, a dance was given in com
pliment to the visitors from Cuba
at the Knights of Columbus Home
on the evening of August 26, and
a week of competition in swimming,
golf, baseball, volleyball, yachting,
fencing, bowling and skeet and
pistol shooting is following. Atlan
ta has won three of the past meets
and Havana has won one — first
year’s competition in Havana.
Many business and civic leaders
and their wives accompanied the
Cuban athletes to Atlanta. Georgia
state officials, Atlanta civic lead
ers and various business and pro
fessional leaders are joining in
welcoming the Cuban delegation.
The Northside Kiwanis Club first
sponsored the international com
petition, which resulted from an
idea of Harry Glaney, of Atlanta,
former Olympic swimming star,
but it became so broad and signifi- j
cant in scope that other civic and
fraternal organizations have since
entered the picture.
Deputy Grand Knight Michael
F. Weidl, Jr., introduced the idea
of the K. of C. serving as hosts for j
an evening for the Cuban visitors
during the regime of William
Coyle as grand knight, so again
this year Atlanta Council is offer
ing hospitality. Grand Knight
Dwight Hollowell named Harry
Donohue as chairman of the
Havalanta party, with Henry J.
Taylor and other members assist
ing.
Atlantan Enters
Medical Mission
Sisters' Novitiate
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, — Miss
Mary Volker, of Atlanta, Ga., and
twenty-three other young women
from the United States, England,
Canada, India, British West Indies
Malta, Mexico, and the Philip
pines, took part on the Feast of the
Assumption in a combined recep
tion and profession ceremony held ;
in the chapel of the Motherhouse
of the Medical Mission Sisters
here.
Immediately preceding the Sol
emn High Mass, celebrated by Fa
ther Thomas Duffy, C, S. C., chap
lain of the Motherhouse, Sister
Mary Pascal, as Miss Volker will
now be known, and eleven other
new novices received the gray hab
it of the Medical Mission Sisters
and the white veil of a novice, sig
nifying their acceptance into the
novitiate where for the next two
years they will prepare for the life
Of a Medical Mission Sister.
After the “Agnus Dei” of the
Mass that followed, eleven nov
ices pronounced their first vows
and each received a blue veil and
crucifix, symbols of their dedica
tion to Christ and to Our Lady.
One Sister made her final vows.
Sister Mary Pascal, R. N., is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leo H.
Volker, of Atlanta. She received
her training as a nurse at St. Jos
eph’s Infirmary, Atlanta.
The Catholic Colored Clinic in
Atlanta is conducted by the Medi-
eal Mission Sisters and it was here
that Sister Mary Pascal had her
first contact with members of the
Order.
Founded in 1925 by Mother
Anna Dengel, M. D., to care for
the sick and suffering in mission
lands, the Medical Mission Sisters
in 1951 cared for almost a quarter
of a million patients in their hos
pitals scattered throughout India,
Africa, Indonesia, Pakistan, South
America and in the United States.
