Fr. Cuddy Addresses Parents
CATHOLIC SCHOOLS PROVIDE
SPIRITUAL INSTRUCTION AS
WELL AS TEACHING THREE R’S
MACON — Members of the St.
Joseph’s Home and School As
sociation were told at their Oc
tober meeting, that Catholic
schools have an advantage over
tax supported institutions be
cause they give children spiritu
al instruction as well as learn
ing in the three R’s. The speaker
was Father John Cuddy, super
intendent ot Schools ot the Sav
annah Diocese.
“'Our school is here to help
your children become better
Catholics,” Father Cuddy told the
parents. He said the parents owe
a great debt to the Society of
Jesus, whose members worked
hard to build the school, and to
the Sisters of Mercy, who staff
the school, with the exception of
two lay teachers. Father Cuddy
stated that if the Sisters had to
be paid the same salaries as are
paid in the public schools, it
would cost the parents an ad
ditional $14,000 a year. But even
greater than this financial debt,
he said is the debt owed the Sis
ters for the spiritual guidance
they give, the children.
Father Cuddy was introduced
by Father Carmine Benanti, S.J.,
pastor of St. Joseph’s Church.
The board of directors of the
association reported that a pen
and pencil set has been present
ed to Sister Martina Joseph. R.

SERIES FOR NON-CATHOLICS
AT IMMACULATE CONCEPTION
ATLANTA — A series of talks
especially for non-Catholics by
the Rev. John Bradley, C.S.P.,
will be, delivered at the Shrine
of the Immaculate Conception,
Atlanta’s downtown Catholic
Chu r c h, from November 3
through November 8 at 8 p. m.
Father Bradley will speak on
such subjects as “Will Any Re
ligion Do?”; “What Catholics
Think of the Bible”; “The Pope
—Dictator or Shepherd?”; “Why
Confess to a Priest?”; “Marriage
—God Made or Man Made?”;
“Why I am a Catholic.” Each of
Father Bradley’s talks is accom
panied by a question and answer
period during which he answers
questions which have been plac
ed in a “Question Box” prior to
the lectures. As many questions
as possible will be answered and
other questions not treated will
be considered and answered at
the close of each session.
The purpose of the talks is to
explain the beliefs of the Catho
lic Church to anyone who is in
terested in hearing them. The
talks are conducted in an in
formal manner; the audiences
may inspect the confessional box,
the church and altar furnishings,
and the priest’s vestments.
The Paulist Fathers are a com
munity of priests within the
Catholic Church with the special
work of explaining the Catholic
position in the field or religion,
the American group having been
founded in 1858. Each member of
the group must spend seven
years at the Catholic University
of America, Washington, D. C.,
to qualify for expounding the
beliefs of the Church.
A native of Toronto, Canada,
Father Bradley has been holding
REV. JOHN BRADLEY, C.S.P.
informative seminars for a num
ber of years and more recently
has been touring the South. His
early years of ministry were
spent in South Africa. A self-
styled “Traveling Salesman for
God,” Father Bradley spends 10
months of the year preaching in
Catholic Churches and auditori
ums over the country. He says
one of the greatest problems fac
ing all religion today is ignor
ance of the meaning and import
ance of religion in a person’s
life. To fight against that ignor
ance. not only in the church but
outside it as well, is one of the
Paulist Fathers’ main purposes.
Arrangements for these talks
by Father Bradley were made
by the Rt. Rev. Patrick J O’
Connor, Pastor of the Diocesan
Shrine of the Immaculate Con
ception. The public is cordially
invited to attend.

Lourdes.
From the modest beginning the
statue room at the Notre Dame
Book Shop has grown until today
it is one of the most attractive
and most visited parts of the
shop. In addition to the ever-
popular plaster statues, the shop
carries one of porcelain and
bisque, hand carved ones from
Italy and Hummels. Statues hon

her various titles occupy a large
