He asks McMaster to say a few words of encouragement in his paper concerning the building of the Cathedral in Savannah, Ga.. He told McMaster of the subscriptions, and other sources of revenue that have brought in over $60,000. already. They intend to start building in November, and to have completed the Cathedral in two years. After that they wish to rebuild St. Patrick's Church in that city, and enlarge the two orphanages. In Augusta a parsonage is being built, after which the residence for the Christian Brothers will be built. The Brothers are expected by the fall of next year. The convent of the Sisters of Mercy has been completed, reflecting the greatest credit to the Catholics of Augusta. In Atlanta, through the untiring energy of Father Thomas O'Reilly, a church is being built which will be one of the finest in the South when completed next year. O'Reilly has also built a brick church in Dalton which Persico dedicated in June. The Plenary Indulgence granted by His Holiness in the Encyclical of June 4 has been published for the Sunday within the Octave of the Assumption throughout the diocese. He is staying with the Redemptorists, but will be back in New York by the middle of next week. Next Sunday the Fathers of Baltimore solemnize the Feast of St. Alphonsus and have requested Persico to pontificate on the occasion. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 2pp. 6to.
