Thanks For Many Things
BY TICKI LLOYD
Before I get into the nitty-gritty of
writing the notes, I’d like to thank the
persons who wrote letters to the Editor
upholding my column of August 21 in
which I related I was appalled at the
manner in which Mrs. Betty Ford
handled herself on CBS 60 Minutes
program of August 10. It is indeed
refreshing to know that there are others
on this planet who are unashamed to
express themselves when the occasion
arises. Enough about that! Let’s get on
to a little about St. Mary’s Home and its
Centennial on Sept. 14 (Sunday).
Most of you know that a
Concelebrated Mass will be offered at 1
p.m., with Bishop Lessard, principal
celebrant and homilist. And open house
and reception will be from 2 until 5
o’clock. The Sisters cordially invite all
to be present.
In the December 19, 1974 issue of
the SOUTHERN CROSS, I wrote a
short history of St. Mary’s Home, and
Sister Mary Alvin, Administrator of the
Home, wrote a fine narrative on the
same. Since that time a history of the
Home was written by Sister M. Monica
Hundertmark in August 21 issue of the
paper. It was all done so well by the
Sisters there’s no point in my
back-tracking.
There is something worth repeating,
and that is how Mrs. Katherine Miles,
one of the original collectors for St.
Mary’s made rounds each month
collecting any amount of money a
person could afford to give. When Mrs.
Miles died, her daughter, Miss Mary
Miles, now Mrs. Walter Crawford,
resumed the collecting. I do hope that
Mary Crawford, of all people, will be
able to be present at the Centennial
Celebration. Heaven knows, she deserves
a place of honor at this event.
tail back and forth swatting flies, I’d go
with my brother to bring her home.
Tom-boy that I was, I straddled Betsey
and away I’d go whooping and hollering
as Sister Felicitas (for whom I was
named) stood by with a “tsk-tsk,”
murmuring, “That child will never be a
Sister, (and I had hopes for her) she’s
too unlady-like.”
What did she expect from a
four-year-old? A built-in veil?
Papa chortled and said, “Those
Sisters are always on the prowl for some
unsuspecting child.”
Sister Felicitas almost had a
conniption when I was called, “Ticki.”
She’d say, “It’s such a foolish,
nonsensible name. Why spoil a name
that belonged to one of the great saints
of the church?”
The name suited Mama and Papa and
I was called Ticki except when they
were angry with me, and when I went to
school where the Sisters refused to call
me, the nonsensible name, “Ticki.”
There are too many memories to
relate about St. Mary’s Home, and not
room enough to do it. But I always felt
I was part and parcel of the Home,
because I was born across from the old
one, and lived for the last 14 years of
my time in Savannah in back of the
Home in Victory Heights.
Happy Centennial to the good Sisters
of Mercy at St. Mary’s and the children
who live with them! May God bless and
keep them close to His side. If all goes
well, I hope to be in attendance on
Sunday, September 14, for this grand
occasion.
Please Mr. Editor allow me space to
congratulate the Sisters of Mercy at St.
Joseph’s Hospital on their 100th
birthday on June 30, 1975. Sorry I’m
late with my felicitations. To make it up
I even give you some of my name.
NEW RECTORY -- Rev. Tadg O’Mahoney manicures the lawn of the
new rectory for St. Anne’s, Columbus, 3800 Woodmont Drive. A Sunday
Open House was hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Herman Haggard, Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Costigan, Mr. James Willis, and Messrs. Ken Graddy, Warren
Swisshelm, Marvin Schuster, and Charles Watson after all Masses.
NEW DIRECTORY -- J.P. Mabry distributes the new St. Anne’s
(Columbus) pictorial directory after Sunday Mass to Mr. Richard
Sendelbach and Mrs. Antoine Comeaux as others watch with interest.
Having been born and reared across
from the old St. Mary’s Home on 33rd
Street in Savannah, I vividly remember
many wonderful moments connected
with the Home.
We had a cow named Betsey. She was
only a cow, but oh what a cow! She had
big, sad brown eyes, and she grazed in
the field of clover at St. Mary’s. In late
afternoon when Betsey flicked her long
I have a tie-in with St. Joseph’s
Hospital also. Our three children were
bom there; my three sisters, Mrs. Louis
Mathews, (Esther); Mrs. George Lucken,
(Isabella); and Ann Moore were
graduated as R.N.’s from that
institution, as well as our daughter,
Peggy Lloyd Hummel. And, to mention
that name again, Sister Felicitas, after
leaving St. Mary’s Home, was stationed
at St. Joseph’s.
Worship Committee Meets
The fourth meeting of the Worship
Commission of the Savannah Diocese
for the year 1974-1975 was held August
21st in Dublin.
Seton Mass
At. Bl. Sacrament
Blessed Sacrament Parish in Savannah
will have its own observance of the
Canonization of Mother Elizabeth
Seton. Its pastor, the Very Reverend J.
Kevin Boland, has arranged for the
special liturgy to be used at all the
Masses on Sunday, September 14th.
On that day at the 5:30 p.m. Mass
the officers of the Blessed Sacrament
Council of Catholic Women and some of
the members of its Church Communities
Commission will lead the singing, serve
as lectors and participate in the
Offertory Procession. It is interesting to
note that the Prayers of the Faithful
which will be used were prepared by the
Federation of the Daughters of
Elizabeth Seton.
Two major topics for discussion
were: The International Eucharistic
Congress Celebration in the Diocese and
Deaneries; The revision of the sacrament
of Penance.
Msgr. LeFrois, Coordinator for the
celebration of the Congress in the
Savannah Diocese, summarized the
program planned for the forty-first
International Eucharistic Congress to be
held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
August 1-8,1976.
The program will be carried out in
four parts:
Catechetical, Liturgical, Apostolic,
and the Social Concerns Aspects.
The Advent program in our Diocese,
dealing with the bi-centennial theme,
“Liberty and Justice for All,” has
already been compiled by the
Department of Christian Formation.
Since the theme of the Eucharistic
Congress is on hunger, it was decided
that Lent would be an appropriate time
to use this program in the Savannah
Diocese.
SHARES BIRTHDAY -- Because she shares the same birthday with
Mother Seton, Susan MacLeod (center) cuts Elizabeth Seton birthday cake
at observance held on campus of Seton Hill College, Greensburg,
Pennsylvania. Susan is a 1975 graduate of Augusta’s Aquinas High School,
who plans to major in engineering at Seton Hill.
Diocesan Girl Shares
Mother Seton’s Birthday
GREENSBURG, Pa. - Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton’s 201st birthday on August 28
was the occasion of a joyous birthday party on the campus of Seton Hill College,
Greensburg, Pa., and because Susan Eileen MacLeod was 18 years old on that same
day, she helped to blow out the candles on the enormous birthday cake.
A special invitation has been issued to
other Councils of the Savannah Deanery
Council of Catholic Women to join in
this observance.
