Catholic concern for Aborigines and their land heritage has been expressed strongly in two statements by C atholic bishops that appear in this issue.

On page 5 Bishop John Jobst in whose diocese of Broome the controversial Noonkanbah station is situated gives the fruit of his long a ssociation with Kimberley Aborigines. Aboriginal affairs took up a good deal of time at the recent meeting of the Bishops of Australia.

Pastoral As a result they have issued a pastoral letter to express their pastoral concern. The pastoral is printed on page 16. The aim of the document, the bishops say, is to assure the Aboriginal people that their call has been heard for support to have their lands, as a fundamental and legitimate right. The statement is called a background document and is not a attempt to answer all the needs of Aborigines.

Examples Nor is it an attempt to list all the good initiatives and examples of c o-operation in work with Aborigines throughout the country. Bishop Faulkner of Townsville said: "We hope that in a gentle way, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians will come to know each other better, and understand each other better. "We hope that white Australians will come to understand better the Aborigines' aspirations for land."

which a pastoral response was being made. The clergy believed their consciences demanded that they seek full union with the Catholic Church. On the other hand they had entered the ministry in "total good faith in a tradition that permitted a married priesthood." The admission of married Episcopal priests would in no way change the tradition of a celibate clergy in the Latin rite, he said. Archbishop Quinn, head of the US Bishops Conference, said that the Catholic Church would have to wait and see if the move hurts relationships with the Episcopal Church. "No doubt they will be strained at some point" he added. But the decision had been made in response to requests by individuals and was not an attempt by the Catholic Church to steal Episcopalians. He also said that the decision might open the door to similar moves with members of other churches.

Health Care Association is concerned at the possibility of legislation which would rationalise nurse education and virtually eliminate the Catholic sector. "All over Australia there is a strong move for the transfer of nurse education from hospital-based nursing schools to collegebased courses," Bishop Perkins told a national bishop meeting. "The impetus for this change has been halted due to a recent statement by the Federal Minister for Education, Mr Fife, indicating that the present intention of the Government is not to disturb greatly the existing forms of nursing. "However, it would seem to be only a matter of time b efore college -based c ourses become more widespread. "In the coming decade it would seem that all nurse education could become college -based."

SYDNEY: Project Compassion raised close to $1 .5 million this year, Bishop John Gerry, chairman of Australia Catholic Relief, said last week.

Last year's figure was $1,309,240. "The rise has not been dramatic," Bishop Gerry said. "But we are pretty well keeping up with inflation. "In some dioceses the rise has been significant.

early love of painting and several years' study in Europe have been rewarded by official recognition of her talent by the Vatican. Last week, she received a letter of thanks from the Holy Father through the Ponuncio together with the papal blessing. The portrait of the Pope surrounded by children of all nations was painted last year, the Year of the Child. It is believed to be the first portrat of Pope John Paul depicting his much-evidenced love of

children. The painting, 160cm by 140cm, was on public display in St. Peter's Square, which gives some indication of the regard in which the gift was held. Speaking to Miss Enderle, Pope John Paul said: "You show me as having a great love for children, as indeedIdo. There is much love in the faces of the children also." Miss Enderle told the Pope, to his delight, that she had titled the portrait: "My heat belongs to the children of the world."

She was determined to see that the painting reached the Vatican, "even if I had to take it there myself," she said. This was precisely what she did, but the path had been smoothed for her by the Apostolic Pronuncio, Archbishop Barbarito. Accompanied by her sister, Merika, Hedda took the painting to Rome on July 14. Only July 16, when the painting had been accepted by the Vatican - and the copyright requested - the Enderle sisters met Pope John Paul.

Record When they speak of change in the Church, some people want a Meckering earthquake or a St Helen's volcanic eruption. Wiser people like the seismologists listen more closelyto the minor tremors that barely rock the building, let alone ripple the surface. Overseas there may be a temptation to see an American a nnouncement that Episcopalian (Anglican) clergy may be admitted to Catholic priesthood as high on the Church R ichter scale. Curiously not many people even in Australia, let alone in the world, noticed a ripple in Western Australia 15 years ago. Perth people have a special local involvement in looking very closely at the story re-told in this issue and the events that have followed. Very definitely for the past 1000 years and for most centuries before that, priests of the Latin rite of the Catholic Church have been forbidden to marry. It was an unswerving rule for which no exceptions were granted. From the time of Canterbury's split with Rome a tiny but significant procession of a number of Anglican clergy continued to come to the conclusion that their true spiritual home was with Rome. R ome made them no concession. Only if they had chosen not to marry was there room for them in the Catholic priesthood. Cardinal Newman and Cardinal Manning are t wo eminent names that made the passage. Others made a sacrifice that went largely unnoticed by their often suspicious Catholic co-believers. Men who had set their l ives on being ministers of the gospel and the eucharist were nevertheless prepa red to put their conversion to Catholicism ahead of all other priorities. Slipping quietly into the ranks of Catholic laity they cut bonds with the church of their birth, their professional calling and often suffered financial hardship in addition to strained separation from relatives and friends. The wheels of Rome can seem to turn too slowly to have hoped for anything like the change required to rectify this situation. The first news did indeed trickle out of Europe in the 1 960's that in rare instances former Protestant married clergy were being ordained Catholic priests. But no one was likely to be watching the remote corners of South-Western Australia for signs of change. What happened then has now moved into clearer focus with the passage of the years. Understandably, local Anglicans probably still have their personal reservations about the move, butthe issue has not i mpeded fraternal dialogue. The Catholic Church has not and is not about to start raiding the clergy ranks of any denomination. Conversion is a decision that takes place deep in the private conscience of an individual long before it is communicated to anyone or an approach made to the Church. The Catholic Church has not stepped back from the claim that the fulness of truth in Christ's Church lies finally in unity with Rome. Yet this claim need not call for bigotry or narrow mindedness on the part of Catholics towards other denominations. The Second Vatican Council in itsteaching on the Church showed the way for accepting what is.good in other traditions, even in the non believer. As the Vatican notes about the American proposal, it is a process of reconciliation that applies to anyone outside the fold of Rome. Une thing the move is not about isthe question of priestly celibacy. All four married priests cited this week are sure of the place of the celibate commitment in priestly and religious life. Naturally, some of them see room for some alternative but in no way have they made it a cause to be pursued. They came into the Catholic Church toseek Catholicfaith in unity with the successor of Peter and their subsequent service in parishes has morethanfulfilledthat promise and expectation. On the other hand, the Church found itself faced then as now in America, with a pastoral problem. Archbishop Goody is probably the last to believe that he was blazing spectacular trails when he followed up a simple request that seemed reasonable if not necessarily possible at the time. History will one day judge the value of the moment. Vast problem's face the Church in manning its parishes, a s has been seen in Indonesia and in a Vatican call for r e-distribution of scare priestly resources. Only time will tell what proposals bishops in different areas may be forced to put to the Holy See if people are not to be deprived of priests. The West Australian experience for entirely different reasons may have caught a breeze that has yet to find its direction and the significance ought to be pondered. It was unfortunate that a Sydney priest spokesman should have claimed in The Australian that the move to admit married priests shocked the Australian Church. He cannot speak for the priests or the people of Western Australia who were never shocked and don't intend to be shocked. The finest tribute to the episode might be that, one or two initial traumas aside, the arrival of married priests became the non-event of the decade. • 26 John Street, Perth WA 6000 • Correspondence: • • The Editor, The Record, PO Box 50 • . • Aberdeen Street, Perth, 6000 • L. • Advertising: % • • Vanguard Service Telephone 328 1388 • • registered for posting as a newspaper Category "A" (1 1 ).

At Mass, adults cram back rows By Bert Clear, Mount Lawler There is no need for any child to be buried behind the backs of adults without sight of the altar (Paul Donnelly, The Record,). How many empty pews do we see at the top of the church while all the adults cram themseles into the very back

State's right to kill By Peter O'Meara, Mt Lawley. The Rev. Roy Poole (The R ecord August 21) selectively presents an opinion by a Spanish professor to show his disappointment at our Catholic Archbishop and his statement on capital punishment. Reading Archbishop Goody's statement and his explanation it is quite clear that our Perth spiritual leader has given a concise, thoughtful, and precise argument of why the State has the right to implement capital punishment. One thing our Archbishop id not do was to advocate the death penalty, as inferred by the Rev. Poole. Exception is also taken to R oy Poole's closing s entence where he o bviously tries to undermine Archbishop Goody's authority as our Catholic leader, to inform a nd instruct W.A. Catholics on the Catholic attitude to such issues as capital punishment. By his letter, the Rev. Poole is the person who is the big disappointment.

Extreme cases By B.T Morgan, Samson. WA. The Rev. Roy Poole, The Record August 21, while urging support for an anticapital punishment petition, made a not very subtle appeal to Catholics to ignore their Archbishop's views on the subject. Reading Archbishop Goody's scholarly presentation, it is very apparent that he is most certainly not advocating a blanket acceptance of captial punishment, but rather pointing out that in extreme cases of moral and social breakdown, the State may have to kill in order to protect its citizens. Attempts such as Mr. Poole's to prove otherwise by talking about Spanish professors' objections to capital punishment and Vatican Council II, only serve to confuse rather than enlighten.

On films, why not on poor? By L.M. Lake, Cambridge Street, Wembley The millions of dollars spent on the production of films such as Star Wars and its sequel The Empire Strikes Back, due to open in Perth in November, could be directed to better causes. Imagine the relief the $22 million spent on the production of The Empire Strikes Back could provide for the thousands of people who die of starvation in the world every week. One the wide screens of our movie houses we see films such as this and at home on our television sets we watch the sufferings of people in droughtwracked Africa and decimated Kampuchea. It is impossible to reconcile the satisfaction of our appetite f9r thrills with our "blow -you-Jack" dismissal of many of the world's agonies that proper direction of our affluence could go a long way towards abating. A week's pay from everybody connected withthe production of The Empire Strikes Back would save hundreds of children from starvation. A week's pay from everybody in Australia fortunate enough to be in employment would substantially help thousands of the world's impoverished to help themtelves by providing needs as simple as windmills, water piping, fertilisers and insecticides. The fact that too few of us need the charity to which Chrikt enjoined us will have grave repur'nssions in this world and the next. It is eminently conceivable that the have-nots will rise and dispossess the haves in bloody turmoil. It has already happened in parts of Africa and in Indo-China, and there is no reason why it cannot happen in Australia as we doze in affluent apathy. The first two steps we must take are to adopt practical measures to alleviate the distress rampant in many fields in our own country and to be active in directing the surplus riches of this country to our needy Asian neighbours.

When there is a sharing and exchange of people there is cultural enrichment all around. This has happened on the missions. For example:- . . . .

In addition, Father Charles Tory is on loan to the missionary Diocese of Darwin. W.A. Columban Father Lyn Whitely also served in Chile and Peru prior to his sudden death. There are also many priests, Brothers and Sisters from various r eligious orders at present in this archdiocese who spent some years of their lives in overseas missions. Many lay missionaries from W.A. have likewise served in Australian missions and overseas. Conversely there are many expatriate priests, Religious and lay missionaries who have come to Australia from other parts of the world. May God continue to bless and enrich the missionary work of the Church. Father PAT AHERN *** Many Hindus come to pray at the shrine of Our Lady of Vailankanni in Durban, South Africa. This sanctuary, which draws its name from a Marian place of pilgrimage in India is situated in front of a large hospital. Many people come to pray for sick r elatives. Father William Smith 0.M.I., vicar of St. John's Parish in which the shrine is situated, commented that Our Lady's relationship with Hindus was not something new. The original shrine in India marks the place where a little Hindu boy was miraculously cured in the year 1600. *** A Muslim mother recently wrote a letter of appreciation for Catholic Missions which was published in "New Africa", a Catholic Journal of Dakar. She wrote: "Fervent Muslim t hough I am, I very much appreciate the charitable works of the Catholic Church. Every morning I take my children and elderly parents to dispensaries maintained by nuns. "I prefer them to health centres run by the government because of their great care and love. "A look, a caress, a kind word gives relief to so much suffering. During the drought in Sahel, Catholic missionaries went to the most remote villages carrying with them food as well as hope. "In the name of the God of Mercy, may these priests and nuns be blessed for the sufferings they alleviate each day". * * *

A unique way of spreading the gospel message has been developed in Uruguay. Maria Teresa Santiso uses Negro Spirituals with explanations of the personalities mentioned to drive home a forceful message. Her sincere singing brings the characters to life and people identify with them. Maria describes this method as suffering speaking to suffering and life speaking to life. When people hear music they become united with its spirit, she e xplains, and it is as if they hear a divine voice speaking. The music appeals to the inner soul and evokes a response. She describes herself as a gospel troubadour as she travels around the streets of Uruguay.

•Bishop John Jobst has for the past 21 years been head of the West Australian Catholic diocese of Broome which includes the controversial Noonkanbah pastoral property on which drilling commenced last week. At the meeting of the Australian bishop in Sydney last week he offered the following comments on the issue of Aboriginal land rights and mining.

Among them were the alienation of tribal land focus with living realities. and the policies of protectionism and assimilation. What are these realities?

This in the present controversy: flows from the 1968 referendum.

*Land rights.

*Sacred sites. •Mining on Aboriginal land. The comments that follow reflect the opinions of some Aborigines and some of my co-workers as well as my own.

RIGHTS

There is no clear cut definition of land rights for Aborigines. Nor is there unanimity in what constitutes a title to land. First occupancy is often proposed. But who occupied the land before the Aborigines inhabited Australia? And what about unoccupied land? Conquest and purchase are in many cases releavent. Inheritance could also be included as an entitlement. Two extremes are to be discarded as untenable: • All Australian people are equal. Therefore no special provision should be made for Aborigines other than those catering for minority ethnic groups. • All Australia belongs to the Aborigines. Therefore all non-Aborigines (of European and Asian origin) should go home. If one applies the principle that right to land is an inalienable human right then the following solution could be considered: Genuine land claims must be looked at and ownership granted: If a cohesive tribal group has been actively engaged in food gathering, hunting and fishing since time immemorial for their existence on tribal land. If a tribal group run a cattle station Sacred sites: Here I would like to quote Fr. McKelson again: or any other enterprise on land which they claimed as their own since time "Another title to a special relationship to comparable to the respect they had for immemorial. the land wouldbe their attitude to increase their ritualparaphernalia which, kept in a What about claims made by a group sites, places of special significance where, private area, preserved like a private of Aborigines who migrated from library the story of the past. another area which was not tradition- after certain actions were done — say the "These places were private not because throwing of handfulls of sand in various ally theirs? of theplace but because of the objects kept directions and the singing or uttering of A group like this could claim ownerin that place. ship on other grounds --for example, certain strophes — it would be hoped the "All such claims to land should be a common ancestral tradition which natural increase of such creatures as kanrespected but also investigated with care they shared with another group they garoos, goannas and also fish would be by people who had the trust of the claiguaranteed. had dispossessed. mants and who were reasonably converIt is understood that a freehold title, "However, these increase sites were not sant with the history of the group. or an equivalent title to ownership chosen arbitrarily, nor the ceremony asso"It is here that a skilled anthropologist should be granted to these groups. ciated with them performed at random. and ethnologist can help by providing Would a title like this be beneficial "Only in suitable localities and in the dispassionately and with permission the for the Aborigines? right time and season were these things information required by the enquirers."

We strongly suggest that a National Fund of Recompense be set up to compensate Aboriginal people for land alienation. I do not altogether agree with Dr. AC. Coombs' Treaty. But it has a great deal of merit in relation to adequate compensation. As for the WA legislation, the Native Act (1905) denied Aborigines any citizenship rights. This included ownership of land. The Act must be regarded as the cause of gross injustice. It was repealed in stages. . The sooner the legislators get together and provide adequate new legislation the brighter will be the prospects of settling the Aboriginal land rights issue once and for all.

How and when is a site sacred?

Mining "alien" to the people Drilling on genuine sacred sites should not be permitted. We believe that there should be maximum consultation between the c ohesive and tribally orientated Aboriginal communities and the mining agencies. The Aborigines have b ecome very vocal themselves. We believe that it is an insult to their intelligence if they have to be influenced in their decisions by so called "do-gooders". Mining activities have been completely alien to the Aboriginal people from time immemorial. They have never scratched the surface of the soil apart from using deposits of ochre and chalk stone.

Royalties We believe that the Aboriginal people should be given adequate titles to land and mining but no sovereignty. The principle of national interests in relation to minerals should be safeguarded. But, on the other hand, adequate c ompensation and royalties should be allocated to the Aboriginal people. We believe that mining by its very nature can be quite disruptive to community living. This applies to Aboriginal or other people. It is also obvious that no economic improvements would come to the local people from mining. The Government has a positive obligation to safeguard the Aboriginal way of living. Special safeguards should be provided so as not to intrude on their genuine lifestyle. This principle also applies to pastoral activities. These comments reflect the general thinking of staff and of several Aboriginal people in our care.

MORE ROOTS, MUPPETS The winter of our television discontent has passed and the spring of the ratings period is with us again.

It seems that the activities of surveyors McNair-Anderson are the only guarantees that viewers have of getting reasonable programmes. The continuation of Alex Haley's landmark saga of the triumph of an American family - Roots: The Next Generation -premieres on Channel 7 at 8.30 tonight. The following episodes will be seen in t wo-hour parts as they explore four more generations of the family whose genesis was in Africa in the person of a youth named Kunta Kinte. The story of his abduction into slavery, his nightmare voyage to America and the stories of his daughter Kizzy and grandson Chicken George were the basis of Roots, which became one of the most popular TV shows in Australia when it went to air last year. Roots: The Next Generation traces the later descendants of Kunta Kinte through nearly 100 more years of American history, starting in 1882. On Monday at 6pm and every week night at the same Channel 7 presents $25,000 Letterbox featuring Paul Makin, Diana Christensen and Peter Cowan. Each night two contestants in three separate games stretch their three and four letter word power to try to spell a perfect game. Howard, The Amazine Mr. Hughes is Channel 7's offering at 9.45pm on Tuesday. Howard Hughes, a germ-fearing psychotic recluse, was also a brilliant engineer, a brave pilot, a visionary and a perfectionist. His life story is told in this two-part, four-hour movie special. Avalanche will be seen on Channel 7 on Wednesday at 9.40pm. Starring Rock Hudson, Mia Farrow and Robert Forster, the movie tells how a winter wonderland becomes a nightmare of destruction. In The Muppets Go Hollywood from Channel 7 at 6.30pm on Saturday, September 13, there is a mixture of simple and entertaining humour combined with original and outrageous characters. Ginger Rogers, Red Buttons, Anne Bancraft, Candice Bergen and Raquel Welch are among the star-studded audience.

THE HUSBAND SEEKS ADVICE NOW The main change that I have seen in my 1 2 years here is that now many husbands come in for advice whereas once it was almost always the wife who came in alone.

koze,„ soo

More often than not now we see couples together, and this is a good thing. In the family planning sphere, men now seem to be readier to recognise that they could be the infertile partner in a childless marriage where once wives thought that they were responsible for not being able to have a baby. The same applies in marriage counselling where previously it was nearly always the wife who made the first move t owards consulting a counsellor. There have been changes, too, in the people who consult counsellors on natural planning. Twelve years ago people thought that the rhythm method was the only means of birth control that the Church recognised and consequently we saw only Catholics. Now more non-Catholics than Catholics consult us. We don't ask people their religion, but they either volunteer it or it becomes evident during the interview. Centrecare has 11 counsellors and our Pregnancy Help service is available 24 hours a day. After normal office hours, all you have to do is ring us to make an appointment or perhaps get some advice on the phone. We also do pregnancy tests here. Pregnancy Help counselling is very different from our other work. We care not only for the girl but also for the unborn baby.

TONIGHT'S MOVIE GUIDE The Norman Conquests: Table Manners (A) Two 8.35, starring Richard Briers, Penelope Keith A special television adaptation of Alan A yckbourn's acclaimed trio of comedies. All three plays have the same basic plot, characters and time span and revolve around six people living through the same weekend and reaching the same conclusions. Talking about weekends, how was yours? No doubt it would have been more interesting than this. Break Of Day (AO) Nine 8.35, starring Andrew McFarlane, Ingrid Mason, Sara Kestelman A moving and sensitive love story set in a small Victorian mining town in the 1920s. The story centres on Tom, a partially crippled man who has returned from the war and who is tortured by a haunting secret of the past. He finds it almost impossible to communicate with his pregnant wife, who can't comprehend his inability to adjust to a settled life. Things appear to begetting better on the smallscreen.

Mrs Maureen Chamerlain is a marriage and family counsellor with Centrecare and also a counsellor in Natural Family Planning and Pregnancy Help. She is the mother of four children and was educated at Loreto C ollege. Mrs Chamerlain, whose maiden name was O'Sullivan, has been a counsellor for the past 12 years. Those who consult us in this field range from girls of 14 to women in their thirties, and the first thought of the youngsters is that their partents are going to kill them if they find out. This is an entirely wrong thought because in most cases the parents are very good about the situation. The first thing that a girl should do is to tell her parents. Sometimes the parents come in with the girl and occasionally we see the whole problem arising from the girl's pregnancy. It is important that each family member be told immediately that the girl is going to have a baby. When this is done terrific things happen. The family gets its opportunity to manifest its love for the girl and "what people are going to say" becomes unimportant compared to the love that they can show for one another as a family often projected for the first time. Abortion is now so easy to obtain that it is much more difficult for a girl to go through with her pregnancy. She is subjected to pressure from her peers to have an abortion. Adoption, too, seems to have gone out of fashion. One of the reasons for this is that with some people putting a baby

our for adoption is regarded as callous whereas in some circumstances it is a very loving thing to do. Despite the notion highlighted by the news media, adopted children are by no means always unhappy and if they are the means are now available to work their problems out. I am amazed at how often girls are suprised to find that they are pregnant. They seem to have the mistaken idea that "it can't happen to me." I suspect a reason for this might be the television that they watch where couples get into bed together with gay abandon and pregnancy never results. *

There are quite a number of nonCatholics who come into our office for counselling in this field. It is comforting to know that we have a substantial proportion of success in our marriage councelling. Excessive drinking is often mentioned as a cause of marriage break-ups, but it is usually a symptom of something else that's amiss rather than a cause in its own right. The counsellor has to get below what might be called the alcohol level to get at the real cause.

With his wife, and children David, Jane and Mary he was received into the Catholic Church in St. Anne's church Belmont by Bishop Goody. Today he is in his eighth year as parish priest of Toodyay. He says that he always accepted the Pope as the centre of unity and the only doubt he ever had was whether the the Roman Catholic Church was fully the Church. He is concerned if the American move is only because of a number of Anglican clergy are simply disagreeing with some simply happenings in that Church. He says that the sole reason for becoming Catholic is the belief that it is the one true church and to be in communion with the centre of that unity. With individual cases, that commitment can be assessed easily but there could be complications if large numbers came in groups. "We can find in the Catholic Church theologians who will bolster a non acceptance point of view" Father Lisle warned.

To this date the source of the Roman leak has never been traced. Bishop Goody received the three men and their families into the Catholic Church and decided that there should be a period of study before their being ordained as priests. In mid-1967 Archbishop Prendiville of Perth died and in November Bishop Goody was promoted to be his successor as Archbishop of Perth. As a result, the three priests were ordained for the archdiocese of Perth in October 1968. A brief account of their remarkable stories follows.

A 22-year-old young woman sat at a stall selling T-shirts advertising audio equipment and as a complimentary bonus personally signed a glossy nude picture of herself that had appeared in a national magazine. A friend and I were stunned that this sort of thing should happen at a public place where children from seven years onwards would be present. This is sexism in advertising at its worse. It had nothing to do with selling sophisticated electronic equipment. A young man sat beside the young lady. The question I asked in my mind was who had allowed this to happen at a public place, and was it yet another example of money grabbing male businessmen exploiting the female body to attract buyers

Last Wednesday, August 20, a group of young people from surrounding parishes met at St. Jude's Centre, Morley.

After considerable discussion a decision was made to elect five necessary office bearers. These were Shane Brown (coordinator), John Pereira (secretary), Jacques Blandin de Chanel (treasurer), Kevin Quadros (public relations) and Elizabeth Mann (census keeper). Each is an essential position for the smooth working of the CPY Movement. Just as essential is the regular attendance of members at future meetings to enable the decision making process to be carried out. Shane Brown and Jo-Ann Malkovic, Dianella, were elected to the CPY Central team.

Big YCW week YCW International Week this year will open with a "Tramps Ball" on Saturday, October 18 at the Karrinyup Cultural Centre. The idea of a Tramps Ball will be that no-one will have to spend a lot of money to get dressed up— just come dressed as a tramp; have lots of fun with friends, family, relations and old YCW members (no-one is ever an exmember of YCW). YCW Internaitonal Week will feature other eventsfor entertainment, informaiton and prayer. The opening function will be held in Perth and the closing one in Bunbury. Watch this page for further announcements.

Because of the West Australian Football Grand Final, the next Choice weekend has been brought forward to Friday, September 19. A team consisting of Fr. John Jegorow, Vesna and Alex Banovich, Michael Tunnicliffe, Sr. Margaret O'Sullivan, and Diane Josemen are currently preparing for this weekend to be held at Kent Street, Rockingham. "It is a weekend experience that gives young people a real sense of belonging to their families and the Church and gives them time to think about where they are going in their lives," said Trisha Hegney this week. If you wish to book for this weekend experience, please contact Michael and Trisha Hegney on 293 3874.

Sister Mary Kostka, a Polish member of the order of the Sisters of Mercy, says that an object of the school is to help the children to develop spiritually, physically and academically in a Catholic atmosphere in which "love thy neighbour" plays a prominent part. Each grade takes turns in planning the weekly school Masses; there are Masses on special occasions such as the feast day of St Maria Goretti and Mothers' Day, and for special intentions such as an increase in vocations to the religious life and for deceased benefactors and friends. The school was pleased to be able to play a prominent role recently in the Mass to celebrate the jubilee in the priesthood of the parish priest, Father McCabe. "The people of Redcliffe are always very willing to help us," Sister Kostka says, "andIfeel lucky to be in such a school."

It is the responsibility of the Bishop of Australia to be concerned for all Australians, the migrants whom we used to call New Australians, the descendants of the early settlers and the aboriginal Australians whose ancestors first inhabited this land. All of these, in their own special ways, make up our Australian society and their future is tied up with its progress and development. In this pastoral letter, we intend to speak particularly of the conditions, needs, and aspirations of the aboriginal people.

Bishops speak out on Aborigines

We note with satisfaction that in recent years there has been a recovery of pride in A boriginal ancestry and a resurgence of interest in Aboriginal culture.

We are now faced with the complex issue of Aboriginal Land R ights.
