St. Pius X Moves—
Father Paul Fogarty, pastor of St. Pius X Church.
Day Of Peace
(Continued from page 1)
constant threat to peace,'
Pope Paul said.
Warning that such a
concept of international
relations “must one day be
resolved in the ruination of
peace and of countless human
lives,” the Pope praised “the
effort already begun to
reduce and finally to
eliminate this senseless cold
war resulting from the
progressive increase of the
military potential of the
various nations, as if these
nations should necessarily be
enemies of each other .. .”
“But it is not only war that
kills peace,” Pope Paul
continued. “Every crime
against life is a blow to peace,
especially if it strikes at the
moral conduct of the people,
as often happens today, with
horrible and often legal ease,
as in the case of the
suppression of incipient life,
by abortion.
“The suppression of an
incipient life, or one that is
already born, violates above
all the sacrosanct moral
principle to which the
concept of human existence
must always have reference;
human life is sacred from the
first moment of its
conception and until the last
instant of its natural survival
in time,” Pope Paul said. This
means, he continued, “that
life must be exempt from any
arbitrary power to suppress
it; it must not be touched; it
is worthy of all respect, all
care, all dutiful sacrifice.”
“If we wish progressive
social order to be based upon
intangible principles, let us
not offend against it in the
heart of its essential system:
respect for human life,” the
Pope said. “Even under this
aspect peace and life are
closely bound together at the
basis of order and
civilization.”
Reviewing the “hundred
forms in which offenses
against life seem to be
becoming normal behavior,”
the Pope cited “individual
crime. . . organized to
become collective; to ensure
the silence and complicity of
whole groups of citizens; to
make private vendetta a vile
collective duty, terrorism a
phenomenon of legitimate
political or social affirmation,
police torture an effective
means of public power no
longer directed towards
restoring order but towards
imposing ignoble repression.”
“It is impossible for peace
to flourish where the safety
of life is compromised in this
way,” Pope Paul stated.
“Where violence rages, true
peace ends,” he continued.
“But where human rights are
truly professed and publicly
recognized and defended,
peace becomes the joyful and
operative atmosphere of life
in society.”

“The texts of international
commitment for the
protection of human rights,
for the defense of children
and for the safeguarding of
fundamental human freedoms
are proofs of our civil
progress,” the Pope stated.
“This reality is full and
glorious if these declarations
are transfused into
consciences and moral
conduct; it is mocked and
violated if they remain a dead
letter.”

groundbreaking ceremonies
were Father Fogarty,
Archbishop Donnellan, and
Frank McGovern, Chairman
of the Building Committee,
who all joined in turning the
first shovel of earth.
Participating also in the
actual ceremony were Dom
Augustine Moore, Abbot of
the Monastery of the Holy
Spirit and Benjamin Hirsch,
of the architectural firm. Two
of the monks who served as
chaplains for the people when
the services were held at the
Monastery were at the
ceremony, also. They were
Father Malachy Corley and
Father Clarence Biggers. The
actual Church construction
began in June.
The new church’s
sanctuary will seat 330, and
the design encourages the
participation of the people.
There are several outstanding
features, one being the
location of the altar in front
of a wall of glass, through
which can be seen a large
wooden cross which is
located in a small garden area
just outside the building. The
alter itself was donated to the
parish by the Monastery,
being one of the ones used
when the services were held
there. Another feature is that
one wall of the sanctuary and
parish center can be removed,
and the building expanded in
that direction in the future,
when necessary. The parish
center will primarily serve as
classrooms for Religious
Education, but will also be
used for socials.
The parish population has
increased from 125 families
in 1974 when Father Fogarty
became pastor, to about 210
families presently. Father
Fogarty came to St. Pius
from St. Jude’s in Atlanta,
where he was assistant pastor.
Before that, he was assigned
to St. Mary’s in Rome and
Immaculate Heart of Mary,
also in Atlanta. He also serves
St. Augustine’s Mission in
Covington.
To get to the new church,
take 1-20 East to the second
Conyers exit, turn right and
go about 2V2 miles on Georgia
Highway 20. The church is on
the right.
