91 % OF MINIMUM GOAL
Expansion Drive Nets $1,559,000

$1,750,000, Father Noel C. Burtenshaw, chancellor, announced

today.
The chancellor said the
campaign was most successful
and netted $1,559,476 per cent
of its goal. The drive was started
in May, 1965 by Archbishop Paul
J. Hallinan.
“The results show that the
people of the archdiocese
responded in a magnificent way
over the past three years,” Father
Burtenshaw said.
“Campaigns of this kind are
not always so successful,” he
commented. “And the campaign
has not been totally completed.
We have received many letters
during the past few weeks from
those who have not yet
completed their pledge,
informing us they wish to
continue payments. We are most
grateful for their wonderful
response.”
The campaign was started to
provide facilities in the
archdiocese. Father Burtenshaw
said, “Because of the campaign
the Village of St. Joseph was
built in Atlanta to serve our
dependent children and the
Newman Center and chapel on
the campus of the University of
Georgia was built and opened.”
He said the final project is the
Catholic Center in downtown
Atlanta. “Plans are now being
studied to make this facility a
reality,” he added.
While the initial pledge was in
excess of $2 million, the
minimum goal was $1,750,000,
the chancellor said. “We hoped
that the $2 million would be
redeemed, but we kept our sights
on the minimum goal.
“It is most difficult to operate
a fund drive of this kind in
Atlanta because of the constant
turnover of population every
year. Taking this and also the
number of Catholics in the
archdiocese into account, it was a
most successful campaign,” the
chancellor said.
Honorary chairman of the
expansion campaign was Hughes
Spalding Sr. G. Albert Lawton
served as general chairman and
Michael J. Egan was assistant
general chairman.
Father Burtenshaw said a
financial report is now being
compiled and it will be published
in the near future.
There’s a glimpse of Atlanta’s new
archbishop, Bishop Thomas A.
Donnellan, as reported in the
Ogdensburg diocesean newspaper, the
North Country Catholic, on Page 3.
The war’s i been over a year, but
the Israeli-Arab situation is still very
tense. See Page 6.
Why do youths protest? A church
official offers some of his opinions on

A report of the work of the
Department of Catholic Social
Services is on Page 15. We hope it will
show Catholics and others where to
seek help when they need it.
