GEORGIA BULLETIN THURSDAY. MAY 14,1964
FESTIVAL TO HONOR
Atlanta Priest
Father 0‘Reilly
A Music Festival, planned
as a tribute to the memory of
one of Atlanta's great centennial
figures, the Reverend Thomas
O’Reilly, will take place on
Sunday evening, May 31, at St.
Joseph High School Auditorium
from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. This
Festival is being sponsored by
The Immaculate Conception
Home and School Association
for the benefit of the School
and was inspired by one of the
parent's,, Mrs. Thomas Perun,
as a result of her appreciation
of Atlanta's early history and
especially, of the historic sig
nificance of Father O'Reilly's
courageous action in November,
1864.
Atlanta's records show that
Fr, Thomas O'Reilly was pas
tor of The Immaculate Concep
tion Church at the time Sherman
took Atlanta in July, 1864, When
Sherman was about to evacuate
Atlanta in November he plan
ned to burn or mine every build
ing, warehouse, depot and
church which he felt the Con
federates would consider nec
essary and important.
FATHER O'REILLY, realiz
ing what a devastating loss it
would mean to the people of At
lanta to have the downtown area
destroyed, went at once to plead
most earnestly before the Fed
eral officer, General Slocomb,
to have Sherman spare the vital
spot in Atlanta in which area
stood the old City Hall, Court
House and four churches, the
Central Presbyterian, the Sec
ond Baptist, St, Philip’s Epis
copal, andThe Immaculate Con
ception. Out of respect for his
wife's Catholic faith, Sherman
forbade his men to use the torch
or to cannonade this section.
This courageous act, carried
out in the spirit of Christian
brotherhood, is attested to by
the beautiful monument erected
on Atlanta's City Hall comer in
honor of this brave and noble
patriot-priest.
HOWEVER, THE greatest
monument to Father O'Reilly's
memory is not one of marble
but is etched out of the living,
vibrant spirit of Christian
nelghborllness that exists
among the members of the
Churches saved by Father
O’Reilly, Worshipping and work
ing within a scone's throw of
each other until recently, there
has always been harmony and
respect for the individual and
his particular belief.
IN THE last few years chan
ges have come before the de
mands of progress. Many fine
oldGlidings, churches and
homes have had to be sacrificed
to meet Atlanta’s phenomenal
growth. Many Immaculate Con
ception parishioners have had
to move to th e suburbs to find
suitable homes, thereby reduc
ing the enrollment of our School
considerably. Expenses go on
the same and it has taken hard
and constant efforts by the Home
and School Association to'keep
abreast of finances. This they
have done admirably,
NOW, AS bread cast upon the
waters returns a hundred-fold,
a galaxy of talented entertain
ers, professionals and non-pro
fessionals, the majority of them
not of our Faith, have, out of the
goodness of their hearts, gra
ciously offered to put on this
magnificent Centennial Festi
val for the benefit of The Im
maculate Conception School.
The Sisters of Mercy have al
ways taught at our School and
it is to the credit of these fine,
devout Sisters that, numerous
outs unding young men and wo
men have gone out from our
School to enhance the cultural,
civic and religious life of our
City. The Sisters df Mercy
are indeed appreciative of the
generosity of those taking part
in the Festival.
THE PROGRAM will be one
of delightful family-type enter
tainment and a cordial invita
tion is extended all our friends
in Atlanta and in neighboring
communities to Join in the par
ticipation of this worthwhile
event. Mrs. George Aseff is
Ticket Chairman and tickets
may be obtained by calling her
at MA 7-5379, or at School,
Church or at the door the night
of the Festival, Adults - $1,00;
children 50*.
