Catholic Diocese Of Savannah
Religious Organization in Savannah, GA
The earliest Catholic presence in what is now the State of Georgia started with the arrival of Spanish missionaries in the sixteenth century. For many years the Franciscans maintained a network of mission stations which stretched from St. Augustine to the Savannah River. The arrival of the British brought an end to the period of Spanish presence. No Catholics were permitted in the new colony of Georgia. After the Revolutionary War tiny groups moved into the field of Locust Grove, near Augusta, and to Savannah, where the church of St. John the Baptist was set up.

read moreAs we come to understand the Sacraments, it is important to recognize that the Sacraments have a visible and invisible reality, a reality open to all the human senses but grasped in its God-given depths with the eyes of faith. When parents hug their children, for example, the visible reality we see is the hug. The invisible reality the hug conveys is love. We cannot "see" the love the hug expresses, though sometimes we can see its nurturing effect in the child. The visible reality we see in the Sacraments is their outward expression, the form they take, and the way in which they are administered and received.
