Biography
Charles A. Callis was an apostle from 1933 until his death in 1947. Born in Dublin, Ireland, he emigrated to America and became a convert to Mormonism.
Callis served as president of the Southern States Mission for 25 years, one of the longest mission presidencies in church history. He developed expertise in missionary work in the American South, a challenging field for Mormon proselyting.
His Irish heritage and convert status represented the church’s international growth, even as leadership remained predominantly American-born.
