“COME SIT A SPELL.” True to their culture the Highlanders of North Carolina welcome the
‘‘Catholic ladies,” Sisters Cecilia and Agnes. As Apostles of good will the Sisters strive to be
“all things to all men.” Everyone from Grandma down to newborn babe need someone to care.
In 1961 these (Ladies in Grey) made over 1000 such calls to bring comfort and cheer, emer
gency aid, medicine, nursing skills, etc. to scattered mountain homes and neighboring towns
people. (Photo by declan haun)

Glenmary Home Mission Sisters with headquarters in Hayesville, western
North Carolina, conduct a clinic, dispensary, carry on home nursing service,
along with regular census and teaching work in the highland towns of Murphy,

needs of highlanders in the mountain counties of southwestern North Carolina.

A FAMILY CLASS. A living room, a car, or a shady spot on the lawn might well serve
as a “Classroom” for these Sisters who reach remote areas. Pupils, such as the Brown
children with Sister Mary Raphael, vary in age from two to eighty-two and in num
bers from one to thirty. The school year enrollment totals seventy-five while the
summer vacation schools bring this number over one hundred. (Photo by declan

DIOCESAN
DEVELOPMENT
xviy dear oremren;
You are living in the midst of one of the most mis
sionary areas in America, population-wise. Whether you
were born here, became a Catholic here, or have moved
in from the outside, you are now in the midst of America’s
Number One mission diocese. We need 1,000 more Catho
lics to have 1 %; the proportion of Catholics in China when
the Communists took over.
Last year you gave over $35,000.00 to promote our
mission work in North Carolina. You bought three auto
mobiles for the missions at Farmville and Statesville, to
replace old ones that were worn out by the Sisters in their
zealous work with the assistance of the Mary Missioners.
You supported eight Mission Helpers of the Sacred Heart,
four Glenmary Sisters, and twelve Mary Missioners —
all giving full time to real missionary work in places in
which little would have been done without your help.
You supported the work of two Motor Chapels. You have
helped to support these veteran missionaries also in their
work during the wintertime, of giving regular Catholic
missions in the parishes. You supported three distinct
Training Apostolates for young priests immediately after
Ordination in on-the-job training in little parishes which
are typical of North Carolina, many in rural areas. You
have helped along^eonsiderably the new Mary Missioner
program in which twelve young ladies from every part of
the country volunteered for a year’s work in North Caro
lina. You helped with the work of the clinic and home
nursing of the Sisters in Hayesville, as well as the Mission
Helpers Centers in Statesville and Farmville. You con
tributed also to the orientation of 65 college students last
summer who came from about 13 colleges over the coun
try to conduct Religious Vacation Schools in North Caro
lina.
These active programs, as well as the programs of
the Seminarians during the summer, the Diocesan Film Li
brary, and the Newman Program show the extent of the
missionary work that is going on under diocesan auspices.
Many of those outside the Church in the South are
tithing for their home and foreign missions. Some of these
are conducted even in Catholic countries. Many of our
converts in North Carolina are from among these persons
