O PAGE 6 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*.
