Georgia being so close to Flori da, where for so many years both as priest and Auxiliary Bishop you served Archbishop Hurley and his priests and people so ably, zealous and kindly, we were able to observe as it were at close hand the success of your work in our neighboring state. Quite obviously, God has blessed your work there and He will continue to give you all the grac es you wall need for your tasks in Georgia. Your Excellency comes to a diocese in which the priests, re ligious and laity will give you that wholehearted cooperation that you will need in order to achieve in Georgia the same brilliant success that marked your work in the great state of Florida. You will find that our priests, religious and laity are second to none in the depth and tenderness of their Catholic faith, j in the goodness of their lives, in their attachment to the Church, in their docility to the teachings of the Church and in their de votion to ecclesiastical authority. You have come to a diocese that for many years has had the con solation of seeing hundreds of our beloved non - Catholic bretheren embrace the Catholic faith each year, to become models of true Christian living. You have come to a state in -which you will find all the people, Catholic'and non- Catholic alike, friendly and well disposed. You have come to a state in which very happy re lations exist between Catholics and non-Catholics and also with the civil authorities throughout the diocese. You will find that editors and reporters of the secu lar press have manifested a very consoling and sympathetic in terest in Catholic events and are generous in describing such events with a generosity that Catholics in many other parts of our country might well envy. You will get to know the Catholic Laymen’s Association of Georgia which for the past forty and more years has been a source of constant consolation to the bishops and the priests in their labors for souls in this state. Your excellency will find a splendid organized and function ing Diocesean Council of Catholic Women who are worthy of all praise for the outstanding role that they have played in the field of Catholic Action and especially in upholding the sanctity of the Christian home and being cham pions of our Catholic schools. In your work you will be edified by what the Legion of Mary and oth er parochial and interparochial associations are doing for the Church in the diocese, including flourishing Sodalities of Our Lady, Holy Name Societies, Con ference of St. Vincent de Paul, Newman Clubs, Catholic Youth Organizations and others. In a word, Your Excellency will have the constant support of all the Diocese and I know full well that it will not be long before your goodness and your heart of charity, your administrative skill and all your other superb quali ties of mind and soul will win all hearts. Let me say once again how distressed I am that circumstanc es over which I have no control compel me to forego the pleasure and honor of being present when you are officially installed in your new office. At the same time it affords me unbounded pleasure to know that His Ex- PARISH TRIBUTES GIVEN TO BISHOP (Florida Catholic) FULTON HOSPITAL Alcoholism 907 Edgewood Avenue Nervous-Disorders Atlanta, Georgia PHONE JA. 4-9392 RITZ OLDSMOBILE, INC.
