| OUR CITY'S CENTENNIAL: 1837 - 1937
CATHOLICISM IN THE EARLY DAYS
This history of the Catholic Community of Atlanta, from its beginning
through 1937, was published as a series of articles in the Saint Anthony's
Parish News, Volumes 6 and 7, 1937-8. The first installment appeared in
July 1937 as part of Atlanta's centennial celebrations.
The importance of this work by T. J. O'Keefe, the founding editor of this
unique monthly is two-fold. It is the only printed history of our community
from the earliest days, and it corrects oversights made by other writers (see
Appendix).
May this be an interim testimonial to the big-heartedness and Catholic
spirit of those who made Saint Anthony's Parish News, through the years.
My personal thanks to Sister Mary Carmel Najjar, C.S.J., who typed this
manuscript.
