HOT WEATHER,. LURE OF OUTDOORS
FAILS TO DAUNT I. C. HOLY NAME
ATLANTA, Ga.—Hot weather,
coupled with the lure of outdoors
weekend trips and vacations have
here-to-fore greatly affected the
Holy Name Society attendance
during July and August. Sunday,
August 8th was a different story
and a welcomed change from past
experience. One of the largest
groups in months was present at
the Holy Name Mass. While the:
summer breakfasts are limited to
coffee and sweet rolls, a vacation
for the good ladies, majority stay
ed to attend the short meeting.
Msgr. Grady expressed his ap
preciation for the fine gathering
He also informed us communions
are " increasing each Sunday—a
healthy, good and wonderful sign.
The Monsignor introduced his
nephew, Johnny Fleming of Bos
ton, who is visiting with him for
a few days. It was also a pleasure
to have one of Atlanta’s out
standing golfers, Mr, Gene Dahl-
bender, as one of our guests.
Question and answer programs
always prove helpful as well as
educational, especially since it
has been years since most of us
have looked at a catechism. It is
on this assumption and at the
suggestion of the officers this
type of program has been re
vived. Father Kiernan has con
sented to serve as moderator. The
members were requested to sub
mit any questions they may have,
on the Catholic faith. Some will
be prone not to do this, fearful
hey may seem trivial. This type of
program can only succeed with
full membership participation. Do
not hesitate to submit any aues-

sign, so what can you lose—in
stead we will all gain a better
knowledge of our fatih.
The time is l'apidly approach
ing the date of the bazaar to be
held at the Immaculate Concep
tion Church, October 19th & 20th.
The past several months various
committees have been working
on the preliminaries and setting
up the groundwork. All signs in
dicate this will be one of the
largest affairs of this type that
has ever been staged in Atlanta.
We know it is early, however,
please make plans now to attend.
September begins the fall sea
son—schools open and we once
again settle down to regular rou
tine. Do include attendance with
the Holy Name Society as part of
your fall schedule. The Society
at the Immaculate Conception
Church will meet at the 8 o’clock
mass, Sunday, September i2th.
It will be father and daughter
Sunday and the intention for the
month will be sanctification of
the home. Whether you have a
daughter or not, we hope you will
be with us.

PLAN TO MOVE
8,500 REFUGEES
GENEVA, (NC)—An estimated
8,500 refugees will be moved
from Europe to other countries
during the latter half of 1954
under the joint auspices of the
International Catholic Migration
Commission and War Relief Ser-
viees-National Catholic Waif are
Conference, it was reported here
by James J. Norris, ICMC chair
man and European director of the
N. C. W. C. agency.
Mr. Norris has just returned
here following a tour of South
America and Canada to survey
opportunities for Catholic refugee
families wishing to emigrate
there. He said that his estimate
is based on figures submitted at a
meeting of the directors of sev
eral national Catholic immigra
tion agencies working with the
International Catholic Migration
Commission.
The meeting, first ICMC na
tional directors’ conference ses
sion, was held on the second an
niversary of the announcement
by His Holiness Pope Pius XII oi
the apostolic constitution “Exul
Familia” (Exiled Family).
Acceleration of movements of
migrants to the United States
under the Refugee Relief Act
would boost the 8,500 estimate
considerably, Mr. Norris pointed
out.

ARRESTED PRELATE
HERO TO PEOPLE
HEEDING SERMON
DUBLIN, Ireland, (NC)—How
a Yugoslav prelate incurred the
hatred of the Red authorities in
his country for his outspoken
criticism of communist atheism
has been revealed in The Stand
ard, Catholic weekly published
here.
He is Msgr. Andrija Majic, re
cently arrested vicar general of
Mostar and active head of that
diocese since the imprisonment
of Bishop Peter Cule in 1948.
An incident that took place in
the Mostar cathedral in July has
made him a hero to his country’s
anti-communists, according to
The Standard.
Every Sunday, the newspaper
reported, two police officials
came to the cathedral and took
shorthand notes of Monsignor
Majic’s sermons. He ignored their
presence.
But, the report continued, on
July 4 a remark by a police agent
who was busy taking notes was
overheard.
“Comrade,” he was quoted as
saying, “will you please help
me. I did not properly understand
what Monsignor Majic said about
communists being enemies of
freedom.”
The police agent put this ques
tion to one of the faithful who
was sitting in front of him.
But the staunch Catholic who
was addressed by. the communist
agent did not get embarrassed.
He answered in a loud voice;
“Better ask Monsignor Majic.”
Monsignor Majic, who heard
both the remark made by ihe
police agent and the answer given
by the Catholic, smiled and said
to the congregation:
“I see that the police agent
who was sent by his superiors to
take shorthand notes of my ser
mon did not understand the
meaning of it and I will, there
fore, help him.”
Monsignor Majic. in a loud
voice, reiterated that atheistic
communism is a danger to the
moral progress of youth in Yugo
slavia, and that true freedom will
come only if the principles of
Christianity are accepted by the
government and the local author
ities.
The eyes of five hundred mem
bers of the congregation were fo
cused upon the police agent, The
Standard reported. He got ter
ribly embarrassed, his face chang
ing from pale to red, and ulti
mately he left the cathedral.
