Five Georgia Martyrs honored in rare Catholic rite

Savannah was the center of U.S. Catholicism for six hours Saturday morning. Five Franciscans martyred on Georgia’s coast in 1597 were bestowed the title “Blessed” during a Beatification Mass, giving the group known as the Georgia Martyrs the Catholic Church’s most venerated status short of Sainthood. Thousands of Catholics from across the globe, attended the service at the Savannah Convention Center. “It’s a milestone event for the Diocese of Savannah, for Catholics, especially in the state of Georgia, and also for the universal church,” said Most Rev. Stephen D. Parkes, Bishop of Savannah. The Mass was presided over by Cardinal Frank Leo, Archbishop of Toronto and representative of Pope Leo as Papal Legate. The service brought an immense rarity in the Roman Catholic Church, the world’s largest Christian denomination, to the Hostess City of the South. Only six beatifications have occurred on U.S. soil. Saturday’s was the first in Georgia and the first in the American South. Standing at the ambo, pastoral staff in hand, Cardinal Frank Leo delivered his homily. "It is a profound spiritual delight to gather this morning and celebrate together here in such great numbers," he said, the unveiled image of the of the beatified friars

In a final push to rally the Democratic base ahead of Election Day, Georgia gubernatorial candidate Keisha Lance Bottoms brought her campaign back to Savannah Friday morning. With standing room only inside Kim's Cafe, Bottoms gave eventgoers one final set of instructions before Nov. 3 - grab someone they know and make sure that person votes. Savannah Mayor Van Johnson, a close ally of Bottoms, was also in attendance. Johnson said Bottoms' passion for public service extends far beyond Atlanta, and recalled that she called regularly to check on Savannah residents during the COVID-19 pandemic. While campaigning at several events, President Trump asked voters to pretend that he is on the ballot. Johnson said he kept that in mind when he cast his vote. "Let our votes do the talking," Johnson said. "Ladies and gentlemen, we need to leave no doubt on Tuesday."
