On January 7, 1846, when the young congregation of the Sisters of Mercy was only 15 years old and the f oundress, Catherine McAuley, had been dead only five years, six young Sisters stepped onto the sand at Fremantle.
They had just completed a voyage of 113 days from Gravesend, England, and all that faced them was the endless sandhills of the Western coast and the few whitewashed houses of the village of Fremantle glaring white in the intense summer sun. On the fringe of the village stood a few Aborigines. The Sisters had come to the other end of the earth from their native Dublin at the call of the new Bishop, John Brady. They had a fortnight to pack and say farewell to the people they would likely never see again on this earth. Whatever his reason, Bishop Brady had convinced the Roman authorities and his missionary recruits, including the Benedictines Salvado and Serra, that there were 3000 Catholics in the colony and no less than 4,000 children yearning for instruction!

Religious instruction in State schools. ..
View is 'totally' incorrect
There had been a misunderstanding among the public that religious instruction in S tate schools had been abandoned, Margaret Williams, e xecutive officer of the C hurches Commission on E ducation, said this week.
NOT BEEN ABANDONED. .
Mrs Williams explained: "Because the Nott Report recommended that religious instruction be turned over to the paid staff of State schools, and that the former parttime lay and clerical teachers be phased out, people have understood this to mean that the churches are n o longer welccome in State schools, or that they have given up the task of religious education except in Sunday S chools. "This is a totally incorrect view. "What the Nott Report means is that from now on the regular staff of schools will be phased into teach R.I. as a part of the regular curriculum. "The Nott Report also recommended that the clergy and Christian laity become involved in the total life of State schools, to maintain a Christian presence, and to be ready to offer backup, support, and resources to the classroom teacher."
Clergymen Mrs Williams has been visiting schools extensively, and asking teachers and headmasters how they would like to see the "Christian presence" in their schools. It is generally felt by teachers that clergymen should be available to arrange special events, such as Christian festival activities, and to help out as resource and back-up people — to help out when particular points arise in studies that teachers feel can be better explained by a clergymen, for instance. The Education Department has just c ompleted the first phase of its religious education pilot project in eight high and 22 primary schools in various parts of the State. In 1981 the Churches Commission, of which the Catholic Church is a member, will begin a Christian involvement pilot project in Cyril JackIt was necessary for People to have a clear idea of what the social Justice publication "Poverty, Power and the Church" was trying to do, Bishop Healy said this week. Bishop Healy drew attennon to two statements on the back page of the document that is being currently distributed in preparation for Social Justice Sunday on September 28. • The statement is an effort more at education than teaching. • Not everybody is expected to agree with everything that is said. Bishop Healy is a member of the Australian Bishops' committee for development and peace that requests the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace to prepare annual social justice statements. Bishop Healy calls the Present document a reflective statement. When it is dealing with the texts of teaching in the gospel it is the word," the true sense of he said.

District councils will include interested Christians as well as school staffs and clergy attached to local primary as well as secondary schools. Suggestions have been made that
the churches could help with camps, with caring for "latch-key children", and initiating or operating programmes within the general field of the caring ministry. Mrs Williams stresses that each school has its own special problems and needs, and that CCE does not intend to establish a general opera-

then, by and large, coolly ignored by an Australia that should have cared. It didn't. Now the Catholic Commission has come up with findings that justify his predictions on an extended inflationary basis. The situation is getting worse And it will continue to worsen while politicians of all creeds,
spurred as always by vote. catching motives, adhere to the untenable credo of full employment. I suggest this blinkered adhesion to a full-employment doctrine that is now an anachronism is a substantial impediment to constructive measures which could be taken to reduce unemployment and therefore poverty.

-Mission news—
Matthew Burton and Justin Carroll from Newman junior school displaying a buffalo carving and some money from India. Prayers for the Missions are an essential part of our support system. Spreading the Gospel and showing our concern for others is God's work. Prayer is the life line. Daily prayer, constant and perserving is the ideal. A mong our prayers at present we could remember in particular a priest in New Guinea who is finding it hard to settle into a new area. We could also pray for a Sister in the North of Australia who is searching for new ways to make the Gospel Message more meaningful to the people. Pray, too, for the missionaries of Uganda who are struggling against overwhelming odds at the present time. A newly ordained priest in Pakistan and seminarians and sisters in India also need a remembrance. May prayer be the bond which unites us all, and may the Lord of the Harvest look kindly on all our humble efforts. Father PAT AHERN
The disastrous consequences of underdevelopment and structural injustice are clearly evident in the family During the past six years, the family in Chile has suffered a process of destabilisation. It is sad, because in previous decades Chile had made great strides in improving education housing and health care for the majority of its people. The reversal of the struggle for a better life is seen today in the increasing shortage of housing (700,000 new houses are needs), unemployment (officially 14 percent but in reality closer to 25), low wages and rising prices, limited medic al care and even restrictions on higher education. * **
Through their long history of dispossession, discrimination and neglect by the white community, Aborigines have become the 'poorest of the poor' in Australian society. Not just economic poverty, but all that it entails — hunger, ill-health, h omelessness, helplessness, dependence, loss of dignity and self esteem, hopelessness. The very hopelessness of the Aboriginal cause in an affluent society totally committed to material and security and values is the very reason why God is on their side. More than any other people in the community, they are God's specially chosen people. — FR. A.J. MITHEN S. A .C. * * *

One World Week provides an opportunity for the Church in Australia to focus attention on our responsibility as members of a world community and to enable us to see beyond our own small world. It aims to help us. . . •Recognise we live in one world. *Explore the links that bind us to our fellow men and women, both in our own neighbourhood and across the small, vulnerable planet we all share. *Celebrate the way our lives are enriched by our experience of others. •Reflect on the part we play in making this world a place where only some enjoy a full life. *Accept the responsibility that belonging to One World implies: To care for and share world resources; to work forjustice and equity in today's world and tomorrow's. One World Week reflects the growing awareness that the issue of justice, peace and human development are central to Christian discipleship and to the Church's mission in today's divided world. One World Week challenges the church to share these concerns with the whole community. This year marks the beginning of a new decade — a decade with

BIRMINGHAM, England: The English national conference of priests has put forward a proposal by which divorced and remarried Catholics may be permitted to receive communion and penance.

Church's 'vital role' in migrant welfare
His descent from Spanish ancestry has been through several branches of the family tree, but in his quiet way Edgar Rodoreda is proud of it. A possible, though unadmitted, indication of this is the name Castille that he chose for his very successful racing yacht. The tall and reticent Applecross businessman runs a progressive seed-selling business at Osborne Park, well-removed from his home south of the r iver. His love of yachting has been passed on to the sons who sail with him in his well-organised crew aboard C astille. The latest of the many challenges that he has a ccepted is his election to the parish council of St Benedict's Church in his Applecross area.

Strange events SULLIVANS in a new world CARRY ON
The Sullivans discover the old truth that life must go on after the death of Grace in Channel 9 episode on Monday at 7.35pm. Dave is finishing the bedroom and must realise that he has a new life to c oincide with his new bedroom, a life without dearly-loved wife.
Onedin at sea again
He tries to keep himself busy and be brave for all those around him.
The Onedin Line, one of the BBC's most successful programmes which is shown in 44 countries, enters its seventh season tonight on Channel 2 at 7.40pm.
Dave pins a lot of emphasis on John's return to try to keep his thoughts positive and cheery. Harry needs Dave to be strong, but not only because o f Grace's death. The "excriminal" is finding that people will not employ a person with a record and he is faced with the disheartening fact that Hardwicke's will not employ him, although he is Dave's brother. His only offer of a job is to sweep the streets and when Dave gives him a message that Lou called and wants to speak to him, Harry angrily retorts that he will not have Lou being seen consorting with a road sweeper. At the Great Southern Hotel, Rachele and Emil confirm Maggie's suspicions about the two rather strange house guests and Rachele becomes almost hysterical when relating her past life to Sally.
This story of a Liverpool shipping family in the 19th c entury authentically recaptures the golden age of sail with extensive location filming using real ships. The new series starts in 1885 with James Onedin, the proud owner of 25 sailing s hips, facing fierce c ompetition from a steamship line owned by his sister, Elizabeth Frazer. Family conflicts figure prominently in the new series with emotions running high. the relationship between James and his wife Letty remains strained after the death of their child and James is reluctant to make further sacrifices. A t the same time, his d aughter Charlotte's marriage is in danger because of her infatuation with a young sea captain. Elizabeth, too, has serious marital problems.

The thief contacts Cullen and threatens his life if the money isn't given to him. Complications arise when Cullen loses the safety box key and the thief returns to hold up the bank a 2nd time.

Channel 7 will premiere the first two hours of Brave New World on Tuesday at 9.45pm with another episode on Thursday at the same time. It is based on the classic novel by Aldous Huxley who took at the future and came up with some startling ideas. Set 600 years hence, his Brave New World is a scientific utopia dedicated to technology and filled with young, healthy, "contented" citizens who are divided into five classes from the Alpha Plus intellectuals, who are pre-conditioned to assume leadership, to the Epsilon Minus morons who are cheerfully destined to sweep up. Consumption never stops while everyone worships Henry Ford for giving them the assembly line which now produces everything, including humans. Having eradicated war, disease and poverty, these people are revolted by nature and institutions like the family.

nuns, Sister Martina in the nursery and Sister Rosemary with the threeyear-old group. We also have young people gaining work experience and students in various disciplines such as visiting nurses, child care certificate trainees, and those doing the WAIT courses in early childhood care and physiotherapy. Our staff must be caring people and they are selected with this in view. Just how enthusiastic about their work they are is shown by the fact that most of our aides are doing night study courses at the Perth Technical College. I must not conclude without paying a tribute to the wonderful work of Sister Martin, administrator of the Catherine McAuley Centre, who in nine short years has wrought such a transformation in this complex.
At its historic Victoria Square site Mercedes College has embarked on a restoration and modernisation project that will cost in the vicinity of $900,000. The college principal, Sister Assisium, said that a section of the building, the original convent -school built in 1849, would renovated to retain its outside appearance while its interior was modernised. The same treatment would be given to the old St. Joseph's School built in 1895. The old Our Lady's College opened in 1896 was being restored with special attention being given to such features as fireplaces and stained-glass windows The old building, known' as Coolock House, which had been used only for music and speech had been used only for music and speech had been demolished and on its site would arise a multi-purpose hallgymnasium structure. Sister Assisium said that the whole project would enable better use to be made of the space at Mercedes College. The St. Joseph's block which now had only Year-8 girls would accomodate Year 11 and 12 and on the other side of the school there would be Years 8,9 and 10. There would be more room for the special class
for the handicapped and for the Year-11 secretarial terminal course. The total expected cost of about $900,000 had been met in part by Common-
wealth aid of $315,000.
Sisfe Mercy r $ ton walks When the first stage of the project was finished a fundraising drive would be launched.
For Mercy Sister Xaveria Quinlivan life is much different as she walks the hills of New Guinea compared with the twenty years she spent walking the wards of St. Anne's Hospital in Mount Lawley.
Her longest "walk" takes five days, the last day being a 7-hour section that commences at 7.30 a.m and concludes by being picked up at 2.30 p.m by the lcoal ambulance with only a ten-minute break for a biscuit and a drink. "Otherwise we would never get started again," she said. Sister Xaveria was home on leave in Perth recently from New Guinea, where she and a group of Mercy Sisters went to staff a hospital at Aitape after Franciscan Sisters were forced to withdraw three years ago. Sister Xaveria said that it took her two and a half months to get
around .to conducting clinics in the 42 villages in her area. Walking to the villages means . that she and her companions carry everything they need in the way of medicines. "You take what you want..lt,you don't have it you don't get it, she abserved philosophically. Messages are sent ahead to the villages and up to 100 children will be seen in a clinic session in the bigger villages. Each child under five has a book in which its medical history is recorded. Sister Xaveria is the only person with any medical training going into the area. The one local doctor, and Englishman, has been able to do one round only once in two years. She says that it has been a period of learning to work without all the helps that are available to nursing donw here in Australia. For some people it may mean a day's walk just to get to a centre

"They are so used to death and dying but they have an attitude to it that is different to us and in a beautiful way. " While the body goes, the spirit is still very close and they continue to communicate with them, "talking out" many of their fears. "They all go home to their village to die and there is a beautiful closeness between them." Sister Xaveria is equally impressed with their love for children.

POINTER TO A HIT
Frankie's Easy Money in US
•It has not been easy for Scotland's Frankie Miller — success was an undeservedly long time coming, but with his last album, Falling In love he scored two U.K. hits, with Darlin (a big hit in Australia, too) and When I'm Away From You. For his new album Easy Money Frankie went to America and enlisted the services of musicians he says he has admired "ofrever". He was writing with Troy Seals, James Brown's old bandleader, and the musicians on the album are all original soul players. The album was recorded in New York and Nashville and mixed in New York, and produced by Frankie and the musicians on the album — the Hitmen. Half the tracks are written by Frankie and Troy Seals, some are original compositions which haven't been recorded previously, and of interest to his Australian audience is a fantastic version of the Jo Jo Zep and The Falcons' song So Young. ///////

SECOND TIME LUCKY FOR NIGEL? The pop world knows Nigel Olsson as the dextrous drummer who put the biff and bash into most of Elton John's records. That's fine by Nigel, but he also wants to be known as a singer and songwriter in his own right. His first solo album, Nigel, was ignored by the Australian market. Second time lucky, perhaps, because the follow-up, Changing Tides (ELPS
4096), is a handsome package. The title is significant, for he's shifted the emphasis to rock and roll, although he's included several ballads which are very easy on the ear. Pick of the tracks are Saturday Night and two songs by Tony Sciuto, Showdown and Trapeze (Sciuto also wrote and recorded Island Nights, which did nothing for him but gave Marc Hunter a big hit in this country).

VISITORS AT THE PARISH GROUP CAMP
Recently I attended our first parish youth group camp for this year along with thirty other young people from the Redcliffe/ Belmont Parish.
The Catholic school has been one definite area in which young people have been taught Catholic values over the past 150 years, Education has been provided from pre-school to matriculation. There have been other places of youth education and training. A weatherboard house in Kalamunda that has now almost been forgotten and was demolished in the early 70s was called Marian Lodge. Only a painted sign stands in the YCS office, as a memento of Mar ian Lodge. About 30 years ago the late Father Harold Lalor acquired Marian Lodge as an archdiocesan asset to Catholic groups and organisations the possible acquisition of a suitatrain young people for the lay in the youth apostolate. ble site. apostolate.

The Edwards Youth Fellowship Award now in its second year aims to highlight and encourage the outstanding contribution of youth to W.A. society and assist in a practical way in the further training and education of young West Australians.
To celebrate Y. C.W. International Week the Ha mersley group have written and will perform a dramatic presentation on Friday, October 24. The idea originated from the question "How would the world judge Jesus Christ if he was walking among us today?" The group has kept details of the play a closely guarded secret, but judging from

The Redemptorist Youth team held its second and final Youth Mission in the Bentley parish recently and it was called "Bentley's Holy Stir". More than 50 young people, mostly of school age, gathered in one large classroom in Santa Clara school for five consecutive nights. The response of the Bentley youth exceeded the expectations of the youth team presenting the mission. One of the highlights that resulted from the mission was that it brought the three groups existing in Bentley, the YCS group, the Altar Servers' group and CPY Saturday Friends together and enabled them to make new friends. Many youth were unaware of the work that the Saturday Friends were doing with the physically and mentally handicapped. The aim of the mission was to increase the youth's a wareness of themselves in relationship to others, their families and God. Each evening finished with an instruction from Fr. Tom Ryan and a quiet time for spontaneous prayer. The Redemptorist Youth team hopes to hold several Youth Missions in 1981. Parishes interested should contact Fr. Tom Ryan at The Redemptorist Monastery, North Perth. STEPHEN CAHILL (Redemptorist Youth Team)

Dear Captain Bob My name is Wendy De Smedt. I am 9 years old. Thank you for my membership card you sent to me. Here is one of my favourite jokes I would like to share with you and the other children. There was an Australian man and an Irish man at the top of a building. The Australian man said, "I bet youIcan jump down, and two metres before I reach the ground come back up again." So he jumped down and two metres before he reached the ground he came back again. Then the Irish man said "It must be the gravity," so he jumped and fell down onto the ground and splattered. Then a little boy came along and said to the Australian man "Fooled another one, Superman!!" Wendy De Smedt Morley

It has also had success in several music festivals. Three of the school's aims are to help the parents to bring their children to a knowledge of God; to provide an environment where the children can develop their Godgiven capacities to the full; and to develop a sense of community

involvement among teachers, pupils and parents. Every Thursday there is a class Mass in which the children of different classes take it in turns to prepare the theme and readings of the Mass. In summer the children go to the nearby Infant Jesus Church for Mass and in winter it is held in the classroom of the pupils who have prepared that particular Mass. Each Friday a visiting mother rehearses the children in the hymns that will be sung at the Mass on the following Sunday.

Founding parish pries, the late Father Harper, personally supervised the construction of the school that became the mass centre until the new church was constructed 13 years later in 1968. All former parishioners are invited to come back and relive the memory of those days at 9.30 a.m. Mass on
Sunday September 28 followed by a social in the Medina Hall. The day is also the 400th anniversary of the birth of St. Vincent de Paul and the 21st birthday of the local St. V. de P. conference. Parishioners with memories more than 25 years will also be welcome. Mass was first said in the area by Rockingham priests in 1954 in the Grant home on Ogden Way and then in the Medina state school until the Catholic school was built in December 1955.

Catherine McAuley's work ranks with that of the early Irish monks and of the more recent Irish heroes of fidelity. She is certainly one of the greatest Irish servants of the Church Universal. She takes rank with St Macrina, the sister of St Basil; St Scholastica, the sister of St Benedict; St Clare, the friend of St Francis of Assisi; St Louise de Marillac, collaborator of St Vincent de Paul; Blessed Julie Billiart and St Madeleine Sophie Barat If the 19th century is the century of the religious women, the Sisters of Mercy are one of the most effective groups among them, perhaps unsurpassed in the English- speaking world. Father E. Ryan S.J. Woodstock.
Dublin founder of Mercy order
Why s e might be saint ;40
Catherine McAuley was the most unlikely person to start a religious order. She insisted often that she never set out to establish a religious order but at the time of her death in 1 841 she had 140 followers. Today there are 23,000 Sisters of Mercy around the world, the second largest congregation of women in the Catholic Church after the Daughters of Charity. From a house in Dublin she managed to develop a vision that was global and whose creed of service

was spelled out in her simple formula that "the poor need help today, not next week". But as a young girl in Dublin long before Catholics were free to practise their religion fully, Catherine McAuley would have seemed an unlikely person to launch a crusade of faith for the poor of her city and country. Catherine's father had a faith that had survived the rigors and hardships of the penal times but her mother's attitude was distinctly casual towards the Catholic faith. After the death of her father, the anti-Catholic influences began to increase in her family and, following the death of her mother, she came under the influence of Protestant relatives in an environment where Catholicism was forbidden, ridiculed and calumniated. She was twenty at the time but the opposition was only increasing her decision to know more about her faith. Her next move to live with an elderly childless couple who had just r eturned from India should have been just as disastrous for a woman marked out to be a Catholic herione of her time. The Callaghans were as opposed to Catholicism as were Catherine's rela-

tives and they consented to her practising her religion only on the condition that there would be no display of popery in their house. She was probably 27 years of age when she surreptitiously received her first communion but her steadfast faith finally began to pay off. Her care of the invalid Mrs Callaghan led to her c onversion and three years later her husband followed her into the faith. The Callaghan's left her the whole of their estate, a substantial fortune of twenty five thousand pounds in those days. Living with the Callaghans she had begun to visit the homes nearby, teaching daughters of families. Back in Dublin, at the age of 44 with substantial means her thoughts were now moving in that direction again. It was still five years before the emancipation of Catholics in Ireland and Protestant power made it impossible to build any Catholic building, church chapel or school. Catherine McAuley used her legacy to build a house in the fashionable Baggot Street of Dublin that would include classrooms, dormitories for working girls and quarters for herself and those who hoped to attract to her work. She went to France to study educational trends. She tracked down children in a nearby school and p ersuaded them to become first recruits in
her new Baggot Street school. On the feast of Our Lady of Mercy, September 24, 1827, the first of Catherine's helpers moved into residence. Between two and three hundred children enrolled on opening day and an orphanage was opened to take care of the 1827 fever epidemic. Women on the streets who had no place to live moved in and an employment bureau was set up. The new foundation was called the House of Mercy.
In the Heritage Room at Victoria Square Sister Mary Angela Bolster pages through the meticulously detailed account books that were kept by the pioneer Sisters of Mercy in WA 130 years ago.
From page 1 The Aboriginal population he guessed at no lss than two million! The next day they sailed up the Swan River and trudged up Perth's sandy main street to the tattered little church, still standing on Victoria Avenue. There, on January 25, a young novice made her
final profession as Sister Mary Ignatius. Shortly afterwards the Sisters began what is today's Australia's oldest surviving Catholic school at Victoria Square that today carries the name Mercedes College. The pioneer sisters were hardy women and many

Since 1975 Sister Mary Angela Bolsterof Dublin has been helping to promote the cause of Mother Catherine McAuley to be declared a saint of the Church. Sister Angela here sums up the qualities of the foundress of the Sisters of Mercy. Catherine McAuley was primarily a woman of prayer, of prudence and offoresight. She was also a realist with a practical turn ofmindandshe was a shrewd observer who responded to the challenges of her time in a manner at once noveland relevant. She became an educator on a scale not hitherto envisaged in Ireland. She organised relief for the poor outside the oppressive Poor Law System. Her "Walking Nuns" distributing meals onfeet were the forerunners of taday's more sophisticated Meals on Wheels services. Her system of visitation has developed into modern home nursing and the house she opened in Baggot Street was at once a school, an orphanage, a hostel, a night refuge, an employment bureau, a rehabilitation centre and a shelter workshop,. in short, a hospice for the world, thanks to her instantaneous orientation towards those in need. No theoretical Christian she, but one who put the Christ -meaning into everything she did and whose dedication to the Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy came from personal study of Scripture., avid of which she was an earliest her reader from years. 1841 Before her death in had McAuley Catherine news. become world
BAGGOT STREET HOSTILITY
When Catherine McAuley took up permanent residence at her Baggot Street House of Mercy her troubles were only just beginning and from an unexpected quarter. She decided to approach local residents for funds to support her enterprise. Archbishop Murray supported the appeal but neither he nor Catherine anticipated the hostile reception she got especially from some of the clergy of the day. She always maintained that she never wanted to found a religious congregation but she and her companions had adopted a
simple garb and a timetable for daily simple living.
Critics of Catherine were not slow to point out that she was trespassing on the apostolic field of Mary Aikenhead's Irish Sisters of Charity. There was even a threat to hand over the Baggot Street foundation to the Charity Sisters. Catherine's Protestant background tended to make her opposed to the idea of a religious order in which she saw that a cloistered or semi-cloistered routine would restrict the breadth of apostolate that she had in mind.
But more women were coming to join the new group and beginning to live the common life and wear the same style of habit.
But unexpected pressure from Archbishop Murray forced a move that Catherine McAuley would never have anticipated. She would have to form her group into a religious congregation. So at the age of 52 she left her companions in charge at Baggot Street and became a novice at the Presentation convent, making her profession in December 1831 over a year later with two other companions.
