rFather Andrew Graves . . ? A Living Memorial By JO PARKER Special To The Newt Record "And I will raise me up a faithful pried, thai shall do according to that which ts in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure heuse; and he shall walk before mine anointed forever." I Samuel, 2:35 Father Andrew Graves, a retired Jesuit Priest from over in Madison County, came calling at the Native Stone Offices this week. Paying his annual Christmas visit, and bringing us up to date on all the happenings in Hot Springs He told, of his early days in Madison County. He first came to Hot Springs in 1937, and has been a Madison Countian since that time. He founded a Catholic Mission in the house that originally belonged to Mrs. Buquo. The Jesuits bought the Buquo property in 1955. Mrs. Buquo had served as a housemother at Dorland Bell School, the Presbyterian School which was con solidated with Asheville Farm School in the 1940's and became Warren Wilson College. Father Graves and his associates have added to and improved the original house, which was an im mense two story lodge in the beginn ing. They have enclosed porches, ad ding rooms here and there, until they can accommodate many people who go to the Mission on Retreat. People of all denominations spend time there in the quiet of the moun tains, hiking the Appalachian Trail, reading, studying, or just resting. A hostel for hikers on the Appalachian Trail is maintained on the property. Many students from Jesuit col leges and institutions come on School vacations to help in the wood cutting programs conducted in Macfison to supply wood to the elder ly, for heat in winter. Students from Villanova, Purdue, Georgetown University and many other schools take part in this volunteer program. Father Graves has spent 44 years in the mountains of Western North Carolina, ministering to the moun tain people, in the remote sections. During this time, Father Jeff Burton founded a home at the Mission for boys who needed a place to stay. The influence of Father Graves has been felt in a thousand ways on the lives of the people of Madison County. He will be visiting Georgetown University during the Holidays, and is looking forward to visiting old friends and relatives in the Washington, D.C. area. A midnight mass will be held on Christmas Eve in the Mission's "Chapel of the Redeemer." If you pass that way on Christmas Eve, stop for a minute in the Chapel, you are sure to feel better for it.
