W ASHINGTON: Two American moral theologians have defended Pope John Paul's statementthat a lustful desire for one's wife is wrong.

The pope is right say theologians

Pope John Paul II was stressing the necessary link between love and sex in marriage, said William May, Associate Professor of Moral Theology at the Catholic The Pope was talking about University of America. The Pope was speaking of "one using sex in marriage not to share who does not love his wife as a love, but merely to get some pleawife with whom he's sharing his sure out of the marriage partner, life," but regards her only as a he said.

This was once a home for pioneer Benedictines At the McAuley Centre this week, framed by the olive trees planted by Benedictine monks 130 years ago, the century-old chimney stacks brood over the skeleton of the one time orphanage that was demolished to make way for new buildings. The upper floor in the photograph is probably where from the Orphanage Press, Father (later Bishop) Gibney launched the publishing of The Record newspaper in 1874. Originally "Subiaco", home to the pioneer Benedictine monks, the monastery became a home for orphan boys in 1872 and was entrusted to the Sisters of Mercy in 1876. The Christian Brothers ran the institution for four years before moving out to Clontarf in 1901.

SERVICES DESPITE ATTACKS NEW DELHI: The Catholic Bishops Conference has decided to increase social service activities despite attacks on the church. The communist-controlled government of West Bengal State told 12 welfare organisations not to launch any new programs, saying they were financed by foreign organisations maintaining links with separatist movements in the state. Among the 12 organisations are the Catholic Relief Society, Little Sisters of the Poor and the St. Vincent de Paul Society. The bishops' committee said anti-church activities included repeated attacks in the press and in legislatures, attacks against missionaries and the West Bengal prohibition.

which the bishops say is highly restrictive Christian activities. "There are a few thousand Catholics in the territory of Arunachal Pradesh. They are not permitted to have their places of worship. Even the sheds erected for community worship are being burnt down by government officials," said the memorandum. Catholic priests are not permitted to work or live among the population and are being denied entry permits to conduct religious services, it added. "Thus there are flagrant attacks on the natural rights of men and grave violations of the fundamental It critised the government rights assured to every citiof Arunachal Pradesh for zens of India by our passing legislation in 1978 Constitution."

Apathy on prostitutes

N EW YORK (NC) — A wall of apathy stands between the C atholic Church and an estimated 500,000 full-time f emale prostitutes in the United States, according to Franciscan Father DePaul A. Genska, 49, who taught a c ourse in female prostitution at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. But Father Genska said that C atholics are becoming concerned and responsive to the Spiritual and social needs of street Walkers.

"We've had all kinds of academic courses to prepare seminarians in Scripture, liturgy, theology and dogma," Father Genska said. "But we have not taken seriously the problems of the alienated and marginals. The very description of a person as a prostitute or gay gets in the way of relating to that person." It is "not just the persons in prostitution (who are) alienated from the church; but the church is also alienated from them," he said. Many prostitutes are reportedly Catholics.

Sadly, it appears that most of the road toll is caused by drivers in their teens or early twenties. Included among the suggestions that have been put forward to curb this regrettable trend is the seizure for a period of the cars of young offenders. It is true that a number of these youngsters have their own cars, but many drive thevehicle that belongs to either Mum or Dad.

THE FASCINATION , OF FREMANTLE By J.A. Stephenson, Bay View Terrace, Claremont.

Fremantle, renowned as one of the cleanest port cities in the world, has a lot else to commend it as well. Its architecture is a fascinating and rare chapter of history. The City of Fremantle and business firms in the area are to be commended for the efforts they have made to preserve and restore buildings of historical interest, and the State Government deserves credit for transforming the old asylum in Finnerty Street into a maritime museum. Undoubtedly one of the most attractive buildings in the port city is the Fremantle Town Hall. For seven or eight decades its clock tower has been a landmark, and many a stirring meeting has been held in its auditorium — particularly in the lively days before television. Drama not of the thespian variety has darkened its portals, too, , because it was once the scene of a Z murder. 0 It is pleasing to see that the build- Z ing is being preserved in good Z condition. 0 Fremantle certainly has a lot to z and Z recommend it, but every now again a blot appears on it escutcheon.

School, parish home in RS. By Neil Smith, Mazenod College, Lesmurdie. The most disturbing aspect of the current correspondence on religious education of the young is that nothing will thereby be resolved, and the threecornered tug-of-war engendered by family, school and parish expectations will continue to leave our children bewildered and disillusioned. Most religious educators realise that formation in the Faith in these times is a much more profound undertaking than can be achieved by the simplistic methods of indoctrination and rote learning. It is a constant source of frustration and disillusionment for teachers that the expectations put upon them by the

Church (please let's read again 'Catechesi Tradendae' and `Gravissimum Educationis') are often in tension with the demands of parents. Most of us carry with us through adult life that limited understanding of the Christian Faith that we were able to cope with at an adolescent level while at school; those of us of an older generation have the further handicap imposed by an educational methodology symbolised by the Penny Catechism — a methodology only possible in the climate of triumphalism and authoritarianism which existed in the pre-Vatican 2 Church.

CALL TO THE CHURCH: ADAPT STANCE ON MARRIAGE

"We have to revise the rite of marriage. The problem militating against C hristian family life in Ghana is the C hristian marriage rite itself."

From page 1 "The synod must listen to the voice of experienced priests and laity," he said, commenting that many of these belive some divorcedremarried persons can be readmitted to the sacraments without harm to the church teaching on the indissolubility of marriage. "The church should find a way protected by law so that the sacrament of unity in the eucharist can be received by such people (in second marriages)," said Indian Bishop Yeddanapalli. Speaking for the Scandinavia bishops, Bishop Gran of Oslo urged that ways and means be found of giving the sacraments sometimes and under certain conditions to divorced and remarried Catholics.

Bishop Dery of Ghana made this statement to the Synod. Bishop Dery of Ghana was one of a number of A frican and Asian bishops who called for the Church to adapt its marriage outlook to non-Western cultures. Several African bishops pointed out that for their tribal cultures marriage takes place in a series of stages rather than as a single act. A special plea came from Bishop Dery blamed the Bishop Patrick D'Souza of a "introducing Church for Varanasi, the holy city to completely foreign rite and which millions of Hindus failing to understand the come in pilgrimage to martraditional of ature n bathe in the Ganges and riage in Africa. pray at over 400 temples.

VATICAN CITY: An African bishop at the synod made a plea for a better pastoral solution for people who are in polygamy because of the sterility of a first marriage or some other circumstance. Bishop Nduhirubusa of Brundi said that in African tribal marriages, sterility was a ground for annulment, whereas the Church allowed only impotence as a ground for nullity.

Archbishop Legare of Alberta Canada called for a better pastoral plan of mercy for the divorced and remarried. "The union of Christ and the Church is a symbol of marriage but the faithfulness of the church is often marked by weakness", he said. "Is there not a way of re-examining the situation of the divorced and-remarried? Could we not dream of a pastoral plan of mercy, more welcoming, without denying the gospel requirement of married faithfulness." Bishop Samanchit of Thailand asked the synod to be more realistic than merely repeating principles and ideals with which everyone was familiar already. "We would like the synod to give more attention to the abnormal family, i.e., divorced persons and irregular marriages," the archbishop said. "How can the church as mother help divorced catholics? "Our lord said: "The Son of man has come to seek out and save what was lost."

Christian candidates. Support genuine

have publicly opposed the intrinsically evil practice of abortionand euthanasia.

• Half hearted opposition and lip service is not true witness to Christ. • Pope Paul VI in Humanae Vitae makes it quite clear that any practising Christian must oppose abortion and euthanasia. • Regardless of party political consideration support the candidate who has visibly upheld these ideals. Catholics and Christians alike have a duty to support candidates who are prepared to stand up on matters of Christian principle.

Human dignity at risk

VATICAN CITY (NC) — Lustful desires harm the dignity of men and women, Pope John Paul II said in concluding a six-month series of talks on Adultery in the Heart.

According to Father Francis Meehan the pope's thoughts are in tune with the best in women's liberation, to the healthy areas of feminist thought. Father Meehan is associate professor of moral theology in Philadelphia. "The pope is saying that even in marriage a woman is not simply a man's property for his use. "The meaning of lust in Catholic thought," Father Meehan said, "is not healthy sexual desire, but looking upon someone as an object for selfish gratification." Lust in this sense isa "Manipulative wish," he added. The pope "is simply saying that we should never treat women as objects," the theologian said. He is talking about "a way of looking that divorces sexuality from interpersonal love," he added.

A man may not look lust- not his wife, but precisely fully at his own wife, the because he looks at a Pope told thousands of woman that way," the Pope people in St Peter's Square said.

but not by the agencies who receive so many appeals for assistance.

So often in Australia we focus on need in regions closer to us, forgetting the great need elsewhere. The effects of drought, famine and war have caused suffering to over 8 million people in north east Africa. Australian Catholic Relief is supporting aid programmes that are meeting the immediate needs of the people in the countries concerned. R elief aid is vital. So too are longer term programmes that help people to rebuild their l ives and to live with dignity. Catholic agencies in Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda and Zimbabwe have established training program-

mes to teach skills such as carpentry, metalwork, masonry, farming techniques, literacy, community health care and nutrition. These are skills that will enable communities to overcome the causes of poverty and underdevelopment.

Australian Catholic Relief needs your help to continue supporting these programmes. Donations of $2 or more are deductible for taxation purposes.

CARTOONIST 11111111111G THE 1110111.

Y ou've seen the name Leahy on the cartoons appearing in The West Australian most mornings probably and wondered who the artist is.

The West Australian's cartoonist Sean Leahy was once guided towards a career in architecture, but a chance meeting with Paul Rigby set him on his present path. He might not be a prominent cartoonist today if his predecessor in the job had not decided to seek greener pastures. As it was, he still found the first rungs slippery in his climb up the ladder of success. And to mix the metaphor even further, a keen ear to the ground for what people are talking about and omnivorous reading are vital ingredients in his work.

Well, he's a slim and fair six-footer born in Ireland who has spent 20 of his 22 years in WA. He looks back with appreciation to the Choice activities in which he participated under the direction of Father Jegorow after he had left Mazenod College. His father is from Cork and his mother from Tipperary and his name is Sean Leahy (pronounced Lee- Hee with the first syllable emphasised slightly more than the second). And as any Irishman will tell you, the Sean is pronounced Shorn. When he was little more than a t oddler, his father was a radio officer with OTC stationed at Broome for three years and Carnarvon for 18 months. By the time the family got to Carnarvon, Sean was old enough to appreciate the kindliness of the local folk and the joys of sailing a catamaran in sun-drenched freedom. Later, his timidly-expressed ambition to become an artist was greeted with parental derision. Artists were irresponsible people who starved in garrets and for anybody of normal intelligence to his drawing until — horror of horrors a spire to such a situation was — Bill Mitchell unexpectedly ludicrous. returned to his former position. But drawing was his favourite days. He met his long-time idol Paul The matriculation first subject and the time he devoted to it Rigby and showed him some of his' e xamination was only a fortnight sometimes meant neglect of his other drawings. away and Sean burnt gallons of studies. midnight oil in a maelstrom of Perception of this fact induced a Paul was impressed with the panic-stricken study in an effort to slight change of attitude in his potential shown and suggested that atone for his previous neglect now mother and father, and architecture he send some drawings to West that, as he thought, the cadetship was suggested as a career.

Today's People A weekly feature Day after day he sat with a blank piece of paper in front of him while the editor displayed monumental patience. Something had to be done, so he took two weeks' holiday and pottered round Kalbarri. The therapy worked, the pressure was off and the ideas started to flow. Sean's work situation as The West's cartoonist has altered since he first got the job. Initially he was taking up to eight "roughs" a day to the editor. Sometimes one or two ideas were accepted, at other times none.

"Iscratch around with a pencil on a piece of paper to get the thought process lubricated," he says, "and at the same time I'm mulling captions over in my mind. "I'll do several different rough drawings before I come up with the finished product, and then it's up to the editor to accept or reject it." His artistic integrity was tested after the recent football grand final when, as a life-long Swan Districts supporter, he produced a cartoon of a smiling South Fremantle bulldog barbecuing a hapless swan. He admits that there is a little bit of Rigby in his cartoons — and a little bit of Bill Mitchell and a little bit of Pickering.

Pies, Harris, dancers Gazelle's link The poems of Guido Gazelle, a Flemish priest scholar and linguist of the last century, are probably unique. They create a close contact between the poet and flowers and trees, in an intimate connection of vision and longing.

ORGANIST, CHOIR DIRECTOR, ETC.

In 1972,Iwas fortunateough to secure a Churchill Fellowship tiudy the organ in Paris and London --airily Paris and the whole family wewith me. I resumed at the cathed on my return at the end of 1972 and a time I was acting organist at the Whiversity and a part-time tutor in the rc department there.

Every week-day mornisees me down at Trinity College at 8o'clorehearsing the boys of the cathedral dr there, every Sunday morning there is rsticefor the 30 boys and eight men in tbhoir and one evening a week is devoted practice with the eight men. This is not to mentiony recitals and teaching.

Mrs Annette Goerke (nee Parkes) has been director of music at St. Mary's C athedral for the past 15 years and for 10 years before that she was the c athedral organist. Her position involves her in directing the cathedral c hoir as well as playing the organ. She is also the organist for the WA Symphony Orchestra and a soloist, in addition to teaching the instrument. She lives with her husband and three daughters at City Beach. Her musical qualifications include the degrees of Mus. B., L. Mus, and A. Mus. A.

St. Mary's Cathedral has, incidentally, the last all-male liturgical choir left in Perth. The boys are on singing scholarships at Trinity and it is very convenient to have them all together at the one place for practice. We avoid recording the choir during the second term because winter coughs and colds deplete numbers and affect voices, so our recording season starts about October.

being kindness itself. ***

One of my objectives is to preserve some of the store of early church music, notably from the 16th century, and incorporate it -sung in Latin where appropriate - into the liturgy of the vernacular Mass. For example the Proper of the Mass can be sung according to the text of the Roman Missal, with a polyphonic Kyrie. I don't believe that we should sing an extended polyphonic Credo because this prayer is a profession of faith in which the congregation should be invovled. A Gregorian Credo is more appropriate. A lot of so-called "popular" church music, Mozart Masses for example, is unsuitable for church singing. Its proper setting is in concert situation with the backing of a full orchestra.

were aware that split-second timing would be necessary. SoIwas sitting at the console of the organ waiting for the red light to flash to signal that the procession of bishops had arrived at the church door and was ready to move down the aisle. No red light had flashed whenIglanced into the mirror which enables me to see what is going on at the back of the church.I thought I was having hallucinations. There in the mirror was a whole gaggle of moving mitres as the bishops processed, unaccompanied by the music that we should have been presenting, towards the altar. A deletion of some of the planned music had to be organised in a hurry and we piped into action just in time to catch the last few seconds of the procession. It turned out that an unseasonal cloud burst had poured down on the bishops as they were forming up outside and they had decided as one man to seek the shelter of the church and start the procession early, leaving no time for the warning signal to be transmitted to us in the choir gallery.

"Because of pressures from members of the Chinese Patriotic Church I have had to change my residence to another city." This comment was written recently from China by a faithful Divine Word Missionary to his superiors in Rome. Letters from priests and brothers in China have been received recently after twenty six years of silence. The letters contained requests for missals, rituals and other books for use in the liturgy. One old priest who had almost lost his sight was learning the prayers of the Mass from memory so that he would be able to continue celebrating Mass. * * *

The number of Catholics in Japan increased by 4,215 during 1979. Statistics of the Church in Japan were published recently by Tosei News, a Japanese Catholic Agency. The 16 Catholic Dioceses of Japan now have a total Catholic population of 401,706. The largest concentration is in the Diocese of Nagasaki with 74,784 Catholics. In addition, there are 11,547 Catechumens preparing for Baptism. * * *

Somalia now has 1,400,000 refugees as a result of armed strife in that country. Famine and drought add to that problem in Somalia and Ethiopia. Catholic Missionsin those countries have received extra support from the Pontifical Mission Aid Societes to help them cope with the emergency.

ENTERTAINMENT PATTI'S BACK ON TRACK Patti Keith described as "an Olivia-like easy balladeer who has a smooth, tasty style" now has a brand new single on the Polydor label entitled Ain't Nothing Gonna keep Me From You. It was written for her by long time friend Barry Gibb. Patti leaves Australia on November 18 to represent Australia at the World Song Festival to be held in Korea. •to coincide with the release late this month of a new Kamahl album You Bring Out The Best, Martin/ Williams Films will be releasing the movie A Song Of Joy. The film was made during a recent performing tour of Australia and features Kamahl singing many of the titles which are included on the album. * * *

•Those with long memories will recall that Pat Benatar's You Better Run hits for the legendary Young Rascals. The Young Rascals were a brilliant band ... but an ugly brilliant band, so it is more than fitting that this song has been revived by the female face of 1980. It's always great to hear a Rascals song and this woman makes the experience even more enjoyable. Benatar, with her carnal. vocal phrasing, shows why she's the most successful of the new female rockers. Toronto young sextet from Canada, have a female lead guitarist and female lead vocal, (Holly Woods!) so that, and the Canadian background, provide more than a passing comparison to Heart, which is inevitable. Group penned, their single, Even The Score, has a strong, driving sound, complete with a marvellous guitar solo.

FLYING PLAY

EXCELLENT ALBUM *Clues is Robert Palmer's sixth album . It features Gary Numan on three tracks — I Dream Of Wires, Style Kills and Found You Now. Numan also wrote "I Dream Of Wires". It is an excellent new outing from one of the finest vocalists currently recording. Palmer has no fear of switching direction from time to time and here he is under the influence of the new electronic

music maestros and giving Gary Numan's I Dream Of Wires the Compass Point Studios treatment with Numan himself handling the keyboards. The result is slow, moody and dramatic, while the opener Looking For Clues though featuring bubbling synth k eyboards is bright, poppy and rhythmic. With Island putting in the big push, Palmer should see a big chart position with this one.

YCW gathering on needed action

The 1980 Workers' Gathering of the Australian Y.C.W. was held in Adelaide last week. Participants came from Victoria, South Australia, Queensland and Western Australia to draw up and examine the key issues affecting the lives of young workers today. Mr Michael Campbell Y.C.W. national president, said: Participants prepared for the gathering by w orking through an eight -week enquiry programme before the meeting and studied such issues as unemployment, the working situation, c onsumerism and human r elationships, particularly family and peer group relationships, in which young workers are s earching for greater depth. Michael CAMPBELL "This gathering con- ces and lives. trasted these realities with "The gathering saw a a vision of Christ's love threefold mode of Chrisfor every young worker in tian action as necessary. the world and his plan to "First, personal develrestore to them dignity opment in deepening an and love in their workpla- understanding of each

person's unique role in life," he said. " Secondly, young workers should especially take on a more positive and challenging role in the workplace, as a witness to other workers that Christian action is concerned with the injustice of the world of work. "Thirdly, the gathering highlighted the power of Christians acting together to fight the injustices of unemployment, poverty and consumerism." Fr. Hugh O'Sullivan, national chaplain, speaking at the gathering, stressed the divine mission of each young man and woman working to bring God's kingdom on earth. Fr. Dennis Edwards of Adelaide also pointed out the need to combine spiritual and worldly aspects of faith in the formation of a Christian awareness and response.

Personal letters in CHOICE International Week One of the activities that our Monastery YCW group has promoted in preparation for International W eek, was writing personal letter to YCW members in South Africa. I sent off my letter about a month ago and was unsure if I would ever receive a reply. I was not sure Why I wrote the letter, except for the fact it was a task given to me by the group. I was overjoyed to receive a reply last week from Nora Ramsder, the regional secretary of the Durban Y CW. She wrote about her work as a secretary and What life in South Africa was like. By separate cover I also received some posters and newspapers. I now realise the importance of communicating with members of other parts of the world. Simpl-y to know first hand the situation and problem of our international brothers and sisters. The South African YCW is working hard to achieve a more just representation of workers' needs especially the factory workers. , This weekend marks the beginning of the Australian YCW International Week.

Most young Australians who leave their parental nest today do not do so because Mum and Dad are so poor that they are unable to feed, clothe and house their children. They leave home for very different reasons and seek to set up an instant home with their friends. Parents worry about to where they are going. There are two main directions in which young people head. One group aims to set up an "instant temporary" home. Youth gather with one or two friends, pool resources and rent flats or houses. They are faced with the task of living in community and sharing permanent place of residence to go Western Australia seeking to make domestic facilities. They must to.

SHARING LIFE EXPERIENCES We were one of the thrity couples who presented " Matrimony, Jesus Invites us to Love" in Perth this year, and found it was a most satisfying and rewarding experience for us as a couple. The course is about c ommunications and human relationships and not about how to choose a marriage partner.

CRASH . . . the silly bird has just tried to kick his bird seed bowl over and landed flat on his back. Now he's hopped off to a corner to sulk. He blames Captain Bob for all this. When he was just a young bird, Captain Bob thought he would teach him to swim in case he fell overboard. So he put him in the fish tank and he started to sink. Unfortunately, Captain Bob had his pet piranhas in the tank and one of them bit off the parrot's leg. And that's how Captain Bob's parrot lost its leg. Anyway you can help the parrot later in the page.

0 The Holy Name Primary School in Lion Street, Carlisle, has 135 girls and boys from Grades 1 to 7.

It was founded more than 40 years ago by the Sisters of Mercy about the same time as the neighbouring Holy Name Church. Now there are six teachers including principal Patrick O'Neil, and a Mercy nun, Sister Pauline, teaches religion on a part-time basis. It is a well-equipped school with a good resource centre, library, playing area, a udio-visual equipment and small classes. The school's four main aims are: • To promote the spiritual, emotional, social and physical growth of each child. • To place emphasis on a fair, consistent and firm discipline so that the end product is a well-adjusted capable citizen who has mastered self-control and who accepts and practises the faiths and ideals of the Catholic Church. • To realise that the capacities of all children, dull and bright alike, must be e xercised to the full and to achieve this end the work must be made interesting and a sense of standard must pervade it all. The school believes that since it is involved in the spiritual development of the children it is only fitting that a high priority be placed on the preparation of

children for the Sacraments. Children in Grade 3 are prepared for Reconciliation and the Eucharist and those in Grades 6 and 7 for Confirmation. Parents are involved in this preparation, and there is a school Mass every Wednesday at 9 am and Benediction each first Friday at 1,30 pm. Holy Name has a lively P and F which raises money for various items of school equipment and amenities. The school organises educational visits to complement classroom studies, and a camp for the older children each year. The children's health is regarded as being very important. Medical checks are made regularly by the Schools Health Department and dental treatment is provided free

of charge at the dental clinic at the Carlisle State School. Holy Name has taught country dancing to Grades 6 and 7 pupils for the past five years; the little ones dance too and there is singing throughout the school. There are professsional music teachers and coaches in various sports. The school recently won a junior premiership in the Belmont Netball Association. Nationalities represented in the ranks of the pupils include Asian, French, Greek, Italian and Polish as well as Australian. Currently in process of construction is a grotto to Our Lady where children can read and reflect in a quiet corner of the school.

The co-ordinators of the programme, John and Jo Ann 0-Neill of Attadale, presented the talks on the weekend together with Des and Hilda Klass of Brentwood and Fr. John Jegorow.

The programme began in America in 1974 as a spinoff from the Marriage Encounter weekend.

SISTERS':MISSION

Head came here

Originally a strongly French order, the majority of the 1110 members of the congregation are English speaking. The eighth superior general of the 119year-old order, Sister Marie Benedicte, who visited Perth recently, is however, one of the 65 French members of the Congregation. Originally a home economics teacher in Brittainy, she made contact with Our Lady o f the Missions through a Sister from North Vietnam who was caring for French. Vietnamese refugees, from the Japanese invasion. After her profession she was a teacher in Paris, graduating in French, Latin and Greek before subsequently becoming French provincial superior and today superior general of a far flung missionary order. The congregation of Our Lady of the Mission is not just dedicated to missionary countries; it sees mission in terms of the Trinity itself. "Mission means the sending of the Son by the Father, thesending of the HolySpirit into the world," says the superior general, Sister Marie Benedicte. "Our found ress told us that everything Numbers are not important to the life of a congre- we do and everything we live is a participagation, she explained; it is tion in the Divine Mission, the Fathersendthe quality. It is the mes- ing the Son into the world to redeem sage of the gospel of the mankind, the mission of the Spirit by the small flock, of the seed Father and the Son to build up the kingdom falling into the ground. in the Body of Christ and working for the sanctification of the Church."

For frustrated Euphrasie Barbier

A NEW VISIO

Euphrasie Barbier, only 32 when she founded the congregation of Our Lady of the Missions would not have made her move if she had not been a frustrated missionary in her first vocation. Born in Caen in northern France she first

entered the Sisters of Calvary, a small congregation which sent her to England. But when the Marist Fathers were looking for teaching sisters for the New Zealand diocese of Wellington, Euphrasie Barbier was disappointed that her order had lost the

original missionary thrust of its foundress. Because of her opposition she lost her job as novice mistress but she was not deterred. She was inspired by the Marist Fathers' founder, Father Chevalier, that the time was ripe to start a house of formation for Sisters going to the Marist missions. Within eight years her fledgling order was independent of the Marists, sending missionaries not only to the Pacific area but also to East Bengal. From New Zealand in 1897 the first sisters came to WA to make their home at Highgate Hill, then on the outskirts of Perth. Today they are also in Victoria, Canberra and New Guinea. According to the superior general, Sister Marie Benedicte, Euphrasie Barbier would start a congregation today because she had the qualities of leadership and deep personal conviction. In the beginning, the order was concerned with education in the classroom but in France it was concerned with people in t he social working classes, for those working in coal industry. Today its vision is much broader, she says.

The order has been through a fairly extensive renewal made easy, the Sisters say, because they are an international congregation. "I think we would have been a long way behind in Australia and found it difficult to take the risk and move out unless we had belonged to an international congregation," says Sister Anne Noonan, originally from Perth and now assistant general superior. Once seen as a monastic and semi-enclosed group the order still stresses the idea of interior prayer. "The important aspect of our spirituality is that it is contemplative — important because some of the sisters see that they can be involved in such things as houses of prayer for retreats," said Sister Marie Benedicte. "We have these in France and Canada and it could become an important mission in India and Bangladesh too. "In Bangladesh we have been asked to establish two or three sisters in a prayer ashram. We have been told there that we are the only congregation to have been able to bring to the Church that dimension of contemplation the Western world did not bring before," she added.

Spirit remains From its beginning the order of Our Lady of the Mission meant f .t to be missionary and today more than a quarter o s membership is from mission countries. Over 300 Sisters in India Burma, Ban- government to employ 15 young men' hostel gladesh and Vietnam are native sisters.
