the Psychoeducational Center and some
others attended Learning Foundation
after school. We will begin the second
hundred years with children attending
classes at Armstrong College, Savannah
Vocational, St. Vincent’s, Benedictine
and the various private and public
schools.
The children are very much a part of
parish and local community activities --
such as ball teams, Scouts, clubs, and
Youth Groups. As a means of trying to
create a family semblance every
opportunity is provided -- not only for
the children to visit in the homes of
their friends -- but to have their friends
visit the Home.
In October of 1972, Sister Mary
Alvin Seubott, Administrator, initiated
a program called The Student
Government Committee. This program
is comprised of children who are elected
by the children of the Home to
represent them at staff meetings and St.
Mary’s Home Board meetings. It is
through them that the staff can better
know how the children really feel and
react to certain situations. These
committee members hold regular
meetings and keep minutes.
Throughout the first hundred years
St. Mary’s Home has been blessed with
many friends who have willingly desired
to give of themselves in many capacities
in order to help the dedicated Sisters
and Lay staff to make St. Mary’s the
Home of which anyone can be proud. In
the early days St. Mary’s had the
Female Orphan Benevolent Society,
Lady Collectors and Board of Directors.
Two members stand out in one’s memory
as life-long dedicated friends: Mr. John
Gleason of the Benevolent Society, and
Mrs. Mary Miles Crawford, a Lady
Collector. St. Mary’s Guild, an
organization formed in March 1958 was
to replace the Lady Collectors to help
meet the need for additional funds to be
raised through dues for membership,
sponsor or patron. Mrs. Mary Miles
Crawford held the position of treasurer
of St. Mary’s Guild from its founding
until a few years ago. When a new Board
of Directors was formed in 1969, she
was one of the members. In the very early
1900’s Dr.,Dunn and his successor Dr.
Crawford made regular house calls to St.
Mary’s to keep the children’s health “up
to par”. St. Mary’s continues to enjoy
the services of dedicated professionals
of all creeds and professions.
Today, St. Mary’s is a full time
residential group care facility which
offers care and treatment services to
be
cared for in

children who cannot
their own homes or in
homes. To meet the total needs of these
children the home offers the following
services: creative group living; spiritual
guidance; medical, psychiatric, and
psychological services; casework,
educational and recreational programs.
As a diocesan child-care center
covering the 88 counties of South
Georgia, St. Mary’s has a capacity for 36
children; boys ranging from 6 thru 14;
girls 6 thru 19. The houseparents, who
work most directly with the boys and
girls have the training and experience
adequate to prepare them for
understanding groups of children and in
bringing the strengths of the group to
bear upon the individual needs of each
child. At present all the houseparents
have had formal as well as informal
education and training in child care,
psychology, and special education.
The Sisters who staff St. Mary’s
Home - Sister Mary Alvin Seubott,
Administrator; Sister M. Monica
Hundertmark; Sister Theresa Mary
Sumner; and Sister Johanna McGuire -
are members of a Catholic Relgious
Community -- The Religious Sisters of
Mercy. The Institute of the Religious
Sisters of Mercy was founded in Dublin,
Ireland, December 12, 1831, by
Catherine Elizabeth McAuley -- known
in religion as Mother Mary Catherine
McAuley. The Sisters of Mercy came
into existence when Ireland needed
them most -- just before the famine
time, the cholera time, the days of
awful emigration and growth of
materialism. The Congregation spread
rapidly through Ireland. The Sisters of
Mercy were introdued into the United
States in 1843.
In 1929 many communities of the
Sisters of Mercy, existing independently
of one another in the United States,
formed one religious institute, the
Religious Sisters of Mercy of the' Union
in the United States of America, as a
result of an expressed wish of the Holy
See. The Institute is divided into nine
provinces under the leadership of the
General Administration - located in
Bethesda, Maryland. The Sisters of
Mercy who staff St. Mary’s Home are of
the Province of Baltimore.
What is it like to live together in
community as Sisters of Mercy? Our
community life enables us to be
someone for others; our active life of
ministry permits us to do something for
others. Our lives in community are the
manifestations of the transcendent God
and symbols of hope for those in whose
midst we live. Through this membership
in a religious community the Sisters
undertake a corporate mission to make
the Gospel message publicly known and
lived. The Sisters perform a variety of
professional roles.
The entire staff of St. Mary’s is a
most dedicated group of people as
anyone would want in this field.

Refugee Family Arrives In Macon
BY GRACE CRAWFORD
Macon News Writer
A 72-year-old Vietnamese mother,
her three sons and young
daughter-in-law, who left, Saigon in
April on a barge with 5,000 other
refugees have arrived in Macon under
the sponsorship of St. Joseph’s Church.
As far as anyone can determine,
according to the Rev. Thomas Healy, St.
Joseph assistant pastor, the Phans - Mrs.
Thi and sons Ngo, 37, Linh, 28, Su, 27
and his 25-year-old wife, Hai - are the
first family to be sponsored in Macon.
Three Vietnam teenagers however, are
under sponsorship of two families,
having arrived in Macon in mid-June.
The Phan family is just one of a
number of families being sponsored by
the Savannah Catholic Diocese in
cooperation with the United States
Catholic Conference.
When the plane landed at Macon
Municipal Airport, the Phan family was
met by members of St. Joseph Parish
Council’s social action committee and
by Rev. Bob Cushing, Deacon serving at
St. Joseph’s. Mrs. Ruth Canipelli, as
chairman of the committee has worked
since mid-June attending to the almost
endless details of preparing for the new
Macon citizens.
Mrs. Canipelli said St. Joseph
parishioners have accepted sponsorship
of the Vietnamese refugees, “with great
warmth,” contributing money, time and
enough furniture and household items
for a three-bedroom apartment the
parish has rented at Nevarro
Apartments. “I think its just

Editor:
It is about time your newspaper
stated the ERA to the U.S. Constitution
as it is written, instead of publishing
adverse and absurd articles and
misinterpretations of it. The
consequences of the ratification of the
ERA will be beneficial to the entire
population. How could equality for any
human be a disadvantage unless that
human were not equal? This latter train
of thought is what is so evident in the
arguments of opponents of the ERA.
To express individual views of the
place of women or men in modern
society is absurd in referring to the
ERA. We are all creatures of God
despite the frailties of the individuals
who may misconstrue their roles and
the roles of their contemporaries. I am
sure that there is no example in the
history of any nation where equal rights
were detrimental to those receiving
them.
Sincerely yours,
Emily Carey
