Atlanta Man
Accepts Vow
On July 19, 1964, John G.
Irvin (Fr. Augustine) accept
ed his vows to be a part of
the community of the Monks of
Saint Leo Abbey, Saint Leo,
Florida.
This was the first vow ser^
vice ever to be given by Abbott
Marion Bowman in English.
Fr ather Augustine attended
Christ The King School in At
lanta and later graduated from
Northside High School. His col
lege work was at Saint Bernard
College In Alabama for two
years. He spent the last two
years at Saint John’s in Min
nesota, where he received his
degree in Liberal Arts. He is
now finishing his theology at
Saint Bede of 111. After com
pletion he will have finished
all his studies for the Priest
hood.
God and the Church should be
the center of ourllves and that
these changes are to help this
to be true. Changing the Latin
to English is one of the most
important changes. Changing
the language and the outward
congregational participation in
the mass and sacraments does
not change the mass or sacra
ments In any way but helps
make them more meaning
ful to the participants, stated

SEGUNDO, Colo,— What hap
pens to a one-industry town
when the one industry pulls out?
For many American com
munities, the answer has been
different, in large part be
cause of the efforts of a dy
namic priest who believes that
neither men nor communities
are down and out unless they
think they are,
SANGRE DE Cristo Enter
prises, Inc., is the name of the
project launched in 1961 by
Father George T. Andrews,
s.j„ in response to the
economic disaster that threat
ened when the nearby Frederick
coal mine closed down.
The project is a chicken
cooperative which in its three
years in operation has demon
strated to its 200 members—
most of them older former
miners— that they are some
thing more than coal digging
robots. They have learned
that they are capable of han
dling other jobs effectively and
that* united, they can do many
things they wouldn't have dared
contemplate before.
But growth for its own sake
is not the aim of Sangre de
Cristo Enterprises. “We'll buy
Cristo Enterprises, “We want
privately owned poultry
farms," Father Andrews says.
“We’ll buy for a man and mar
ket for him, but he'll be his
own producer. We don't want
to dominate anybody. We want
to help a man trying to make
a living."
PRESENTLY the cooperative
has 3,000 laying hens that pro
duce 38 to 40 cases of eggs
weekly for sale in stores in
nearby Trinidad, seat of South
eastern Colorado’s Las Animas
County. What the leaders of
Sangre de Cristo Enterprises
want is the establishment even
tually of up to 15 privately op
erated poultry farms in the
Valdez-Segundo area of Stone
wall Valley. Operators of each
of each of these units, with
about 3,000 layers each, would
benefit by buying their feed
through the co-op and have an
assured market by producing
under the well known and es
teemed label of Sangre de Cristo
Enterprises,
These poultrymen, for whom
a thorough- going 16- week
course in poultry-raising was
held in 1963 under the Area
Redevelopment plan of the
federal government in co
operation with Trinidad Junior
College, would be able to clear
at least $80 a week.
But what of the accomplish
ments so far of Sangre de Cristo
Enterprises?
IT IS considered one of the
keystones in the overall plan for
renewing the deteriorated
economy of the entire county,
which has slipped from a po
pulation peak of nearly 39,000
in 1920 at the height of coal
mining prosperity to 19,983 in
1960 before the closing of the
Frederick mine,
“What we can do for the com
munity is put fighting spirit
into it," says Father Andrews
proudly. In his view, "our big
gest problem is psychological.
If a person is discouraged he
doesn't even feel like shaving.
He’s men .ally sick. If you've
got a community that’s sick-
then the most important thing
is psychological rejuvenation."
“All people are sort of con
cerned about this poverty deal.
They don't know what to do.
There are 100 ways to skin the
cat. Don't worry about the best
way, just get a knife and start
in and you'll get that cat
skinned,"
Members Jof the St. Ignatius
parish here began skinning the
cat in their own way on New
Year’s Day, 1961, acting under
the impetus of a well-founded
rumor that the huge mine was
not to be reopened. Following
a sermon by Father Andrews
in which he scourged the idea
that the Stonewall Valley was a
“depressed area" and main
tained that "only men are de
pressed," Alfonso Sandoval,
assistant foreman of the mine,
appeared in the sacristy to ask
for a special meeting of the
St. Ignatius Society.
TWO NIGHTS later, 29 men
accepted the challenge of keep
ing the community from being
curshed by the impact of the
predicted mine closing. Out
of that first meeting came a
resolution favoring formation of
a non-profit cooperative, open
to all regardless of religion.
Meetings followed and even
tually a close relationship deve
loped with the Las Animas
County Commission for Area
Redevelopment, the Agriculture
Department’s local county agent
and Colorado State University,
The group was not long in learn
ing of an opportunity that had
gone largely untapped by private
industry, Colorado, which has
traditionally prided itself on its
agricultural diversity, was im
porting 65% of the eggs consum
ed within its borders, and Las
Animas county was buying 90%
of its eggs from outside the
county.
- It was found that the small
farms in the area were suited
to poultry production and favor
ed by a plentiful supply of good
water. The members of the co
operative, who had had limited
experience with their little
acreages as sidelines for many
years, were interested in
raising chickens and producing
eggs.
ACQUAINTED with these
favorable conditions, Bishop
Charles Buswell of Pueblo ap
proved the expenditure of $5,000
in St. Ignatius parish funds to
start the project.
First project undertaken by
the charter members, long be
fore production was possible,
was construction of a brooder
house in the spring of 1961,
three growing houses , two
laying houses and a processing
plant. By Nov. 1, 1961, pro
duction of eggs began. Door-
to-door delivery in Trinidad
brought with it an increasing
stream of cash with which to
oil the co-op’s machinery. In
the first five months 240,000
eggs were sold. Nearly 8,000
man-hours of labor was donated
to build facilities during the
first full year of activity.

PIONEER CATHOLICS
Couple Die Within
The Same Week
Charles Francis Sutherland
of LaGrange, died Saturday,
less than a week after the death
of his wife, Katherine Sheehan
Shutherland. The Sutherlands,
who belonged to St. Peter's par
ish, were well known in Catho
lic circles in the area, and
it was in their home that Sun
day Mass was offered before
there was a Catholic church
in LaGrange. They had been
living with their daughter, Mrs.
Phil Sheraden, at 505 Syl
van Drive, Macon, at the time
of their deaths.
Requiem Mass for Mr. Suth
erland was offered at St.
Joseph’s, Macon, by Father Ed
ward R. Frank, followed by bur
ial in Rose HUl Cemetery. Up
until his retirement in 1945
FATHER BRENDAN
he had been manager of Pen-
ney's Department Store, Macon,
since 1923. He was a member
of Holy Name and was a char
ter member and past-president
of the LaGrange Lions Club
and a past-president of the La
Grange Chamber of Commerce.
Mrs. Sutherland, who died
August 30, was buried on
Tuesday from St. Peter's, with
Father Joseph Beltran offering
the Mass. She was a native
of Leadville, Colo.
Survivors, in addition to Mrs.
Sheraden, include another
daughter, Mrs. Robert McNulty
of Birmingham, Mich,, and a
son, Charles Eugene Sutherland
of Lafayette, La. There are 12
grandchildren.
Taught At Belmont,
Dies In Savannah
Since then output has ranged
to one million eggs a year and
more. In 1963 the gross pro
fit was $10,000.
THE GROUP has enjoyed the
blessing of the Trinidad-Las
Animas County Chamber of
Commerce, government agen
cies, private grocers and the
buying public, particularly when
it became evident the eggs were
of uniformly high quality. It
has been determined that the de
mand in Trinidad alone is equal
to at least six or seven times
the current production of the
central cooperative egg farm.
Father Brendan John Dooley,
O. S. B. a priest of Belmont
Abbey, died suddenly Monday
evening in Savannah, Georgia.
He was 54 years of age.
Father Brendan was well
known to former Abbey stu
dents as a brilliant instructor
in English literature and in
mathematics. He taught many
years at Belmont Abbey Col
lege*
FOR THE past ten years
he was assigned to Savannah,
Georgia, where he taught at
Benedictine High School.
FATHER Brendan became a
Benedictine monk at Belmont
Abbey in 1932, taking his re
ligious vows in 1933, and made
his solemn profession in 1936.
He was ordained to the priest
hood by Cardinal Dougherty in
1939. He celebrated his twenty-
fifth anniversary of ordina
tion on June 3 of this year.
The funeral mass will be ce
lebrated in Savannah, Georgia,
on Thursday at 10:00 a.m. in the
