Archbishop Says
Fr. Dagneau Mass
Rev. Philip H. Dagneau,
S.M., friend and educator of
Atlanta boys for over 40
years, died Sunday morning
at the age of 87.
Fr. Dagneau was bom in
Chatham, Ontario, Canada,
on April 6, 1884. After living
in San Francisco until 1900,
he traveled to Washington,
D.C., there attending the
Marist minor seminary. He
has since received B.A., M.A.,
and M.S. from the universities
of Utah, California, and
Georgia.
Even before his years in
Atlanta, Fr. Dagneau was a
friend of the student.
Ordained by Cardinal
Gibbons in Baltimore in
1909, the young priest taught
four years at All Hallows’
College in Salt Lake City.
He next joined the faculty
of Jefferson College, fifty
miles north of New Orleans
along the Mississippi River.
He labored as missionary to
the “Cajuns”, visiting their
humid bayou towns and
villages on weekends for
fourteen years.
Fr. Dagneau’s arrival in
Atlanta in 1927 was once
referred to as a “renaissance”
for Marist. He was principal
for 25 years, steering the
school through the Great
Depression and later, the war
years.
For Atlanta youth in
general he served as
vice-president of the
Southern Association of
Colleges and Secondary
Schools from 1944-48.
Since the Catholic Church
in Marietta had no resident
fathers at that time, Fr.
Dagneau served as the
church’s pastor for 11 years,
commuting from Marist by
whatever means possible. He
was chaplain at Ft.
McPherson from 1927-32.
Perhaps the greatest
evidence of Fr. Dagneau’s
dedication to education is his
final 20 years as a teacher.
Two decades ago he could
have retired, yet being no
longer principal, he continued
instructing French and Latin
daily up to last week.
Fifty-eight years of Fr.
Dagneau’s life were dedicated
to the young, but even more
years to his priestly duties.
He celebrated his Diamond
Jubilee of his ordination to
the priesthood on June 8,
1969. Fr. Dagneau spent
much time in the Marist
chapel, offering daily Mass or
assisting the other priests at
FR. DAGNEAU
the Masses.
Finally, Fr. Dagneau had
anoiner, yet smaller,
dedication. In good weather
of spring or summer he was
often tending to a small
garden at the new Marist
residency on Ashford-Dun-
woody Road.
The patriarch of Marist
suffered a massive heart
attack last week, seemed to
be responding to treatment at
Northside Hospital, but died
Sunday morning.
Rosary for Fr. Dagneau
was said Monday evening 8
P.M. at Our Lady of the
Assumption Church. The
Celebration of the Office of
the Dead on Tuesday
morning was followed by a
concelebration of the Mass at
10 A.M., also at Assumption.
Concelebrants included Fr.
Dagneau’s friends, successors,
and even his students.
The concelebrants were the
Most Reverend Thomas A.
Donellan, D.D., Archbishop
of Atlanta; the Very
Reverend Joseph W. Buckley,
S.M., Provincial of the
Society of Mary (Marist);
Reverend Monsignor John F.
McDonough, Pastor of Holy
Spirit Church; Reverend
Monsignor John D. Stapleton,
Pastor of the Cathedral of
Christ the King.
Also as concelebrants were
Reverend James M.
Cummings, S.M., Assistant
Pastor of Saint Joseph
Church, Marietta; Reverend
Vincent P. Brennan, S.M.,
Principal of Immaculata
Seminary, Lafayette,
Louisiana; Reverend
Lawrence R. Schmuhl, S.M.,
Administrator of Marist; and
Rev. Jerry Hardy, Assistant
Chancellor of the
Archdiocese of Atlanta.

Group Supports Tenants Strike
NEWARK (NG) - An
interfaith group founded by a
priest in a high-rise housing
project here is supporting a
tenant association’s rent
strike.
Members of the Stella
Wright Christian Community,
an organization composed of
some residents of the Stella
Wright Homes in Newark’s
inner-city, will make a
door-to-door canvass in the
14-building project to enlist
support for the rent strike.
The organization was
founded by Father Thomas J.
Comerford of Queen of
Angels parish. Father
Comerford lives in the
project.
The Stella Wright
Community was instrumental
in rallying other tenants in
founding a tenants’
association to press for
improvements in the project
operated by the Newark
Housing Authority. Ten
months ago, after requested
improvements in
maintenance, repairs and
police protection were not
made, the rent strike was
launched.
Since then some $500,000
in rental fees has been turned
over to the association by
participating tenants, the
money being held in escrow
to force improvements.

Dear
Reader—
(Continued from Page 1)
country’s problems would be
solved.
If hunger could be battled
with part of the success that
cigarette smoking has, no one
would have an empty
stomach.
But Christianity has only
been around for 2,000 years,
and it just isn’t prepared to
make the sacrifices the
marketplace requires.
Cathedral
Criticized
By Bishop
HIGUEY, Dominican
Republic (NC) — Puerto
Rican bishop Antulio Parrilla
Bonilla said he refused to
accept an invitation to attend
the Jan. 21 consecration of
the new national shrine here
because he feels the $5
million church is an affront
to the poor.
In a letter to Bishop Juan
Felix Pepen of Higuey,
Bishop Parrilla-who has no
ecclesiastical duties-said he
felt the construction of the
Basilica of Our Lady of
Altagracia was “contrary to
the spirit of the Gospels, the
Second Vatican Council and
the Medellin guidelines.
(The Medellin guidelines
on social reform and Church
renewal were adopted by the
Latin American bishops at
their meeting in Medellin,
Colombia, in 1968.)
“It would be very easy and
comfortable for me to excuse
myself because I will be busy
in Mexico,” Bishop Parilla
told Bishop Pepen, “but even
if I had no commitments in
the Aztec nation I would not
attend.
“I am telling you this
because I respect you and I
have been pleased with your
denouncements of the
oppression of the rural poor.
“I find it very strange
indeed that you can now
accept-from a regime that
has maintained and
institutionalized oppression-a
magnificant cathedral in a
diocese as poor as yours, a
monumental sanctuary in a
nation where only 10 percent
of the population is
participating in the process of
development.”
“The building is finished.
It does not seem reasonable
to abandon it now,” Bishop
Pepen replied in a press
release issued here.
He said that the shrine was
not a local, but a national,
effort, and that “many

“Happy The Peacemakers”
Peace has as many meanings as there are kinds of strife of
which to be freed. Peace of mind and spirit is freedom from
mental anguish, despair, and ignorance. Peace is also
freedom from physical and social strife: disease, poverty,
and underdevelopment.
Our Lord said, “Happy the Peacemakers” - blessed are
those who relieve the causes of strife; blessed are those who
see their brothers in need and do something to change their
plight. Christ showed the example for spioading peace. It
was Peace He wished His followers to give to the world; it
was by being makers of peace His followers would be called
“Sons of God.”
Who, then, are the Christian Peacemakers of today?
Missionaries can certainly be called peacemakers because
their entire lives are dedicated to bringing this Christian
message of freedom to others. Like Christ, the Prince of
Peace, they heal the sick, teach the ignorant, forgive the
sinner, and preach the Good News of salvation to the poor.
The calling to be a peacemaker is not exclusive to the
missionary, but is the vocation of every Christian. Every
follower of Christ, as our liturgy points out, should give to
one another the sign of peace. Does not Christ speak to
each one of us in the Mass with the words: “Go forthh in
peace to love and serve the Lord?” What hen can YOUR
family do to share the peace of Christ with the entire
Family of Man?
I would propose the best contribution each family could
make is to pray and sacrifice together for those missionaries
who cannot be peacemakers for the world’s suffering-poor
without this spiritual and financial support of the
“peacemakers” back home.
The Society for the Propagation of the Faith exists for
this purpose. It is the Holy Father’s own society designated
for the support of the entire Missionary Church. Through
Family Membership in the Society your family annually
supports some 135,000 missionaries - 100,000 mission
schools - 1,000 hospitals - 2,374 orphanages - 127
leprosaria - 867 homes for the aged -- 51,000 native
seminarians - and in all over 819 missions dioceses
dependent on the Society for their very existence.
This first month of this new year is FAMILY
MEMBERSHIP MONTH! We beg each and every family of
the United States to do their share this year in bringing the
reality of Christ’s Peace to a world so much in need. At a
time when the “generation gap” is too often evident, we
beg you to unite your family in this common cause of
Peace through missionary development.
Please begin today by sending a family sacrifice along
with this column! Become FAMILY PEACEMAKERS for
CHRISTS by joining the Society for the Propagation of the
Faith ($6.00 for Yearly Family Membership - $100,000 for
Perpetual Family Membership) this month in your parish or
enclose your enrollment with this column. Please - join with
me today in being a PEACEMAKER of CHRIST!
SALVATION AND SERVICE are the work of the Society
for the Propagation of the Faith. Please cut out this column
and send your offering to Right Reverend Edward T.
O’Meara, National Director, Dept. C, 366 Fifth Avenue, New
York, N.Y. 10001, or directly to your local Diocesan
Director the Rev. Jerry E. Hardy, 756 West Peachtree N.W.,
