St. Francis Xavier Cathedral Geraldton witnessed last Saturday night the solemn religious profession of a CBC staff member, Brother Peter O'Driscoll, pictured signing the document of profession before his provincial superior Brother Linus Bowler during Mass celebrated by the administrator, Father R. Pocock, in the presence of Bishop F.X. Thomas. Brother O'Driscoll taught at Trinity College before being posted to Geraldton in 1979. A second final profession takes place this year with that of Brother James Van der Zalm in the chapel of Aquinas College on Saturday, December 20.

BISHOPS STUDY JOBLESS, RACISM LONDON: Unemployment, racial discrimination in South Africa and the attitude to nuclear arms were issues studied by the bishops of England and Wales in their meeting at the end of November. Regarding unemployment, the bishops asked changes in current government policies. People, not money or economics, were what mattered, they said. "People cannot be frozen like economic assets," the bishops added. They indicated interest in job sharing to help overcome unemployment, currently totalling two million people. "If, as seems most likely, there is to be no return to full employment in the forseeable future, it is urgently necessary that thought be given to how the opportunity to work may be shared in a technological society," they said. "The economic tensions of the day must be seen as a challenging opportunity for planning imaginative patterns for work in the future." They described unemployment as a "grave threat" to family life and to the morals of society. The bishops said that it would be "disastrous" if advances in technology increased unemployment among the unskilled and semi-skilled labor force and resulted in benefits limited to the few. Discussing South Africa, the Bishops said, that the deteriorating situation

Mindful of what broke out at the funeral of murdered Archbishop R omero, fear surrounded the crowds at the funeral. Army patrols were much in evidence and peasants were discouraged from attending the service. The two Maryknoll sisters, in the tradition of their order, were buried locally. The bodies of the other two, a religious sister and a lay worker, were returned to the United States. The Maryknoll Sisters said: "Evidence provided by reliable sources indicates that the military was instrumental in the disappearance and death of these four women." Following the murders the United States has suspended military aid to the country of El Salvador. The day before the funeral the bishop, priests and nuns blamed the military for most of the violence that has taken the lives of some 9,000 people out of a population of 5.1 million, during 1981. The statement by Bishop Rivera, his clergy and religious blamed "the security forces and the right-wing paramilitary bands as well as the junta, which commands these forces, for the persecution of the church and the murders. "We believe as Christians that the sacrifice of the American missionaries for the poor will bring hope ofjustice for them and the peace Salvadoreans thirst for." He condemned "the escalation of violence . . . that claims dozens of lives every day, that directs a Satanic hate by ideological groups against priests, nuns and lay leaders." The ultra-right and hardliners in the armed forces label church social action as subversive and Marxist, while Communists and other guerrilla groups seek to identify their cause with church activists. This was made clear by slogans written on the door of the modest parish house the nuns shared in Chalatenango. One read: "This house lodges Communists. Anyone entering will die." The day of the murders, the parish priest received a letter advising the group "to go to Cuba to continue your Communist work." (See also page 6)

They said that apartheid --legal sepa- *********************************** ration of the races enforced -- should be opposed. "We cannot see the impoverishment of homelands and rural areas, the breakdown of Christian family life, and a burgeoning military budget as signs of progress sought by men of good will in white-minority ruled South Africa", they said. They suggested British-South African economic ties should not contribute to exploitation of the disadvantaged. British Catholics were also cautioned about going to work in South Africa. "All new white immigrants must consider whether they are taking jobs that rightfully belong to the black community, and whether their action would be compatible with Christian teaching," said the bishops. As Britain debates nuclear policy, the bishops asked the Catholic community to participate in the discussions prayer- 4, * fully, conscientiously, in the light of the 4, .. ,. . .

CHURCH HAS OPPORTUNITIES FOR DEVELOPMENT

"The Church will only grow if it reads the signs of the times, which are indicated by our culture," diocesan pastoral councillors w ere told last Saturday. At the quarterly meeting of the council Fr. Stephen Truscott, a Marist priest from the Belmont parish, talked about opportunities for development facing the Church in our diocese in the future and whether or not changes in structures would be required to adequately implement this development. Some present signs he

workshop that followed no clear recommendations emerged. It was decided, therefore, that each subcommittee of the DPC would submit in writing to the lay ministry subcommittee, the results of its discussions to enable that committee to prepare a written report for an early meeting in the new year. Eleven members of the Council retire after the meeting and the Archbishop thanked them for their dedication and friendship.

An electoral college has been convened to elect new members from 30 nominations received from parishes. An Orientation Day will be held for all councillors on February 14, 1981 to enable new and old councillors to get to know each other and to familiarise new members with current business and procedures. A rchbishop Goody celebrated Mass for the council and later, councillors and their families attended a barbecue. All councillors express their thanks to Brother Daniel for the use of the Redemptorist Retreat House during the year.

Rehecord It is a pity if religion is dismissed superficially because supposedly it will not get down to reality. Death is the greatest reality of life. The Catholic Church constantly calls on people to confront their eventual death as they go about daily living pondering why God gave them life on this earth. Death has had its own strange orchestration of fantasy and fact this week. Almost compulsively the microphones and television lenses must now linger over the god that John Lennon became on the pinnacle of a pyramid of show business acclaim and wealth. In the new electronic death ritual a worldwide audience will be caught in embarrassment between a voyeur's peek into every corner of the life of the famous and their personal bewilderment that the life and times of John Lennon were supposed to mean anything to them at all. A week before in a paddock of San Salvador four women were also deliberately shot, in the back of the head, and their bodies buried in a ditch. They died for no other reason except that years ago they said they would lay down their lives for Jesus Christ. No one wants to die by a bullet and as these four women were real, neither was it their choice. They were real women because they had decided that being on hand to help the poor of El Salvador was more important to them than any other choice in life they could have made. Reports in the press were kind enough to notice the fact. But the microphones that now lament John Lennon were strangely silent that three of the women were nuns. They were concerned that the American government was taking action over the death of four of its subjects. It may be hard to grieve for victims of tragedies in another hemisphere be they earthquake victims, Christian martyrs or tinsel stars, because we do not know how to grieve over death ourselves. On the roads of Australia the innocent are now menaced by the possibility of being murdered by other drunken drivers or the criminal negligence exposed in Wollongong recently. A mounting stream of articles in the press and smashed vehicles seen on television are well intentioned but are not an answer if the culprits are living their lives by some other code of today's materialistic society. The situation requires more than giving the public a corporate guilt complex over the fact that a minority in our ranks are now out of control, in their drinking, drug-taking or psychopathic behaviour on the roads. It is ominous that the trigger on John Lennon was pulled by a 25 year old man. The majority of alcohol caused road deaths and killings are now in the younger age group. Society is reaping the whirlwind cynicism that now calls life cheap. The value society places on life is not measured by the amount of money spent on hospital care or the Road Traffic Authority. The underlying sickness of today is that the real message of Christmas or Easter cannot be heard above the wail of sirens, traffic reports and an almost hysterical pre-occupation with the few over whom we have lost control. Mother Teresa is preaching the only answer: That however mangled, a body is God's creature to be loved whatever the cost. It is for us to decide if the mangled bodies of Australia, on the roads, the unborn, the victims of violence are to be loved.

Perth woman at synod M rs. Rita Zeller, of Riverton (pictured), represented W estern Australia's branch of the Schoenstatt Family M ovement at the World Day of Family Prayer that was held in St. Peter's Square on October 12 at the height of the World Synod of Bishops. T he Schoenstatt F ami ly Movement s ent 350 representatives from branches in the five continents. To the thousands who a cked the square for Mass the Pope said: " You have come from many countries, even from as far as Australia, to pray together. " What this troubled W orld needs is the presence of holy families." Later the Pope was present for the five-hour S pecial audience that lasted from 4 pm to nearly 9 pm. Emphasising the theme of the Christian Family, c ouples from various c ountries gave testimony about their vocation to marriage.

They included couples who were newly married, who were childless, who had been reconciled, who had a drug-addicted child, and who had suffered from war. The testimonies were translated into English and Italian and were interspersed by songs f rom the Focolare Movement. A Schoenstatt Family Movement couple from Germany gave a testimony. The movement also had a German couple, Mr. and Mrs. Martin, as one of the 16 observer coupies at the synod. The movement was founded in 1942 by the late Father Kentenich to renew family life under the guidance of Mary.

The Zeller family of Riverton were foundation members of the W.A. Branch that now has moved into Spearwood, Riverton, Brentwood and Lynwood parishes where groups of f ive families meet monthly and discuss family life. Once a month they meet at House Schoenstatt in Riverton. A youth section caters for children six to 12 years and youth from 12 to 16 with branches at Riverton and Fremantle. One of the customs being carried on in Australia by the Schoenstatt Family Movement is the German tradition of "shelter seeking" for Mary, as a statue of Our Lady is carried from house to house in the days before Christmas.

DATELINE. . . overseas news roundup

NUNS KILLED SOON AFTER ARRIVAL SAN SALVADOR: Two of the nuns shot last week in El Salvador had arrived in the country only a few hours before from New York.

There must be Sisters Ita Ford, 40, and Maura Clarke, 51, of the New York-based Maryknoll Order were picked up at the airport by Sister Dorothy Kazel, love 36, and a lay worker Miss Jean Donovan, 32, both of a Cleveland religious order and who died with them. says Pope

The women were all shot in the head and the back , and were found in a common grave two days later. The junta is disclaiming any responsibility for the execution of the nuns and authorities say that they have found nearby the body of Judge Dominguez who signed the nuns' death certificates. They were working with thousands of peasants who have fled to refugee camps to escape heavy fighting between Left-wing guerillas and government troops in northern Chalatenango province.

Dying priest sees his hospice at work NEW YORK (NC) — A chaplain who isdying of cancer has lived to see the opening of a hospice program he founded for the terminally ill.

V ATICAN CITY (NC) — Beware of modern attitudes that weaken family life and of sex education that does not include the concept of love, Pope John Paul II told a French national pilgrimage of families. "Today's ill-controlled civilisation risks, on the one hand, levelling and trivialising the human person, who is too often uprooted, manipulated by ideological currents and saturated with objects and gadgets, and, on the other hand, developing aggressiveness and violence," the pope said. "The quality of the relationships between parents is the key to the harmonious development of children," he added. "In an age when studies and diplomas are needed for everything it is regrettable that even basic realities are no longer studied in theory or in practice," said the Pope. "Sexual information, for example, is wide of the mark if it is not completed by a concrete and continuing development of the whole person, of the art of being at the same time the subject and object of love." He added: "This love demands... the stability and indissolubility of the home. The present statistics of unions that are broken, at times very early, are proof of the impasse in which too many nations find themselves, of the fact of the family's destabilisation and the terrible consequences that follow, with laws often having ratified and encouraged such customs instead of formulating the requirements of them."

***************************************************

!SCULPTOR SHOWS 'FINE SENSE i0F HISTORY Mr. C.P. (Phil) Somers is a prominent sculptor imbued with a fine sense of history through having been descended on both the maternal and paternal sides from old WA families. His works can be found in churches, homes and public buildings throughout the State in a variety of materials rangingfromplaster and plastics to bronze and aluminium. Mr. and Mrs. Somers have a daughter and two sons, all in their thirties, and four grandchildren. They live in Wembley and are members of St. Joseph's parish in Subiaco.

You move into a world of history, of artistic creativity when you step off the quiet suburban street in Wembley into the studio of sculptor Phil Somers. The shelves that line the walls of his compact studio are crammed with samples of his work. The bronze head of Kimberley pioneer goldminer Russian Jack looks nobly down at you over small plaster statues of the Virgin Mary. Captain James Stirling thoughtfully contemplates the scene just along from a row of trophies ordered by clients. Some of the works are realistic, others are in abstract vein. He is very busy indeed, the quietlyspoken Phil says, and he would like time to play more golf and for projects such as re-creating in statuary the story of the Aboriginal lovers who ran off into the desert and became the sole survivors of their tribes. But really he does not mind the press of orders because he is wrapped up in his work and derives great artistic satisfaction from his creativity. Perhaps his background explains the sensitivity to history that he displays. His mother, Eva, whose maiden name was Lynch, was an early school teacher at Toodyay in the mid-1890s. .His father, George, was a wheelwright, carpenter and mechanic who shifted from the long-established family business in Toodyay to Goomailing where Phil was born. George was prominently associated with the building of the old Goomalling church and gave valuable assistance to the Benedictine priests working in the area. When the family moved to Perth Phil was educated at St. Brigid's C onvent in West Perth and St. Patrick's Boys' School in Wellington Street.

The beginning His future was cast, an appropriate w ord for a sculptor, through an illness he suffered shortly after having left school. He had always been interested in modelling and, fortuitously, in the next hospital bed to him was Edward Kohler, a WA sculptor who had been trained at the French Academy in Paris. Their mutual interest quickly gave rise to a friendship and the young Somers was delighted when Ted K ohler offered him the job as his assistant in the modelling section of the Ajax Plaster Co. in West Perth.

Today's People A weekly feature By BOB BOYLE

He liked his job from the word go and they did all sorts of work in the big studio from full-size equestrian statues down to small ornaments. The years of thorough training there were invaluable to Phil in his present role. "Every job I get is a technical problem in its own right," Phil says, "and you have to be versatile to cope." The finished products are usually in fibreglass, plaster, bronze, aluminium or some other metal. The first step is to make a clay or plasticine model from which a mould is made, usually in plaster. Then it is cast in the desired finishing material.

tures, horses, birds, saints and sinners. Many of his pieces stand in Catholic churches and homes around the State. Among them are the corpus of the crucifix in All Saints' Chapel in Allendale Square, the impressive Christ the King at Dampier with the statue's surface flecked with grains of iron ore, and the statue of St. John Nieumann, CSSR, in the Redemptorist Monastery at North Perth. Others include the metre-high Fatima statues that found their way into local churches and homes after Father Wickers, OSM, commissioned the first one years ago and the unique aluminium Stations of the Cross first hung in Our Lady of Victories Church at Wembley in the 1950s. Phil is a Knight of the Southern Cross and a former member of the parish council at St. Joseph's Church, Subiaco.

If the finished product is to be in bronze, from the mould a plaster casting is taken which becomes the pattern for the bronze casting process.

His favourite Of all the work he has produced, the bronze statue of Russian Jack is probably Phil's favourite because of the technical challenge involved in its creation. 2 / About two metres high and 21 metres long, it stands outside the shire office in Hall's Creek and depicts Russian Jack pushing his sick mate in a wheelbarrow over 160 kilometres of hostile desert to get medical assistance. Phil got the commission for the statue in 1979 by winning a competition conducted by the WA Art Gallery. In the same year, he created a big work in aluminium to honour Sister Gertrude which is now prominently displayed on an outside wall of the maternity section of St. Anne's Hospital in Mt. Lawley. Last year also he made the life-size bronze figure of Captain James Stirling that stands in the forecourt of the R and I Bank in Barrack Street. One of his 1980 works was a statue of Sister Euphrasia, founder of the Good Shepherd order, with a little girl and a lamb. It is made of what is known as coldcast bronze, bronze built into fibreglass, and it adorns the chapel of the Good Shepherd home in West Leederville. Phil shows you a photograph album with pictures of the fascinating array of his creations. They include crests over two metres Russian Jack, probably the favourite work of Wembley sculptor Phil Somers, stands outside the shire wide, a set of metre-tall chessmen, office at Hall's Creek and depicts Russian Jack pushing his sick mate in a wheelbarrow over 160 motifs, trophies, architectural feakilometres of hostile desert to get

My father came out from Sicily in 1923 and my mother joined him here in 1925.

Dad worked on the roads for a start before getting a job in a market garden, then he bought some land at Wanneroo and started his own market garden. My parents had 10 children. Dad died in 1964, but Mum is still living at Wanneroo and she is hale and hearty at 78. When I left school the Sisters of Mercy got me a job at Pellegrini's where I have worked ever since. I am particularly grateful for the help given to me here by two of my early bosses, Miss Tess Hetherington and Mr. Ron Johnson. * * * The Diocesan Pastoral Council is an advisory body to the Archbishop. One of the tasks of the sub-committee for building Christian communities on which I serve is to look at the overall strategy for filling diocesan needs. We examine the things we have in the parishes, Catholic education for example, and try to work out ways to improve them. Mostly the deliberations come back to what people can do in their own parishes.

Miss Lucy Ante is ending a fouryear term as a member of the Diocesan Pastoral Council. Born at Wanneroo of Italian parents, she was educated at St. Anthony's Convent there and is most appreciative of the help and guidance extended to her by the Sisters of Mercy. On leaving school, she joined the staff of Pellegrini and Co. W.A. Pty. Ltd. where she has worked for the past 29 years and is now a senior assistant in their Hay Street store. Her latest work for the Diocesan Pastoral Council includes service on its sub-committee for building Christian communities.

It seems that the activities of small groups in each parish is the answer. They can reach people on an individual basis, they have more cohesion than bigger bodies and they represent more intense people involvement in parish affairs. Bodies such as renewal of faith groups,

"It was the most unbelievable experience I have ever had," reporter Terry Willesee told interviewers upon his return. "The extent of the destruction was unbelievable. We were there for two or three days looking, filming and reporting on different aspects before we even started to realise the horror of it. Terry, (pictured among children's coffins in the 'quake zone) with cameraman Pedro Santafe and production assistant Karen Buck, spent one week in Italy gathering film and information for a documentary to be produced for the national Nine network on the earthquake. They went into the heart of the earthquake zone and filmed the death and destruction in the small towns and villiages in southern Italy. They spoke to people who had lost family and with officials working on the rescue and rehabilitation of those affected by the tragedy. "The weather was so bad that it almost made filming impossible," Pedro Santafe explained. "It was bitterly cold, there was snow and rain and it was so dark that sometimes it was impossible to shoot film at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The documentary will show the extent of the destruction in the heart of the earthquake zone, the personal tragedies, the bewilderment of the people and the work being done to rescue and rehabilitate.

NEWS JOB FOR WILLOUGHBY Nine's Bob Willoughby (pictured) has resigned from the station's popular current affairs programme Terry Willesee's Perth to join the Nine News room as a news producer. Bob, who was one of the original members of the TWP unit when it was formed two years ago, explained: "I have always aimed at becoming involved in production and I think now is the best time to move. "I have been involved with TWP since its planning stages and have had the opportunity of watching the programme grow and become as successful as it is now. "I think when the show is riding high on success is the opportune time to further my career," he said. Bob added that Terry Willesee's Perth had taught him a lot about production. "Looking into the future I would really like to get into documentaries - something that will jar people's social consciences," he added.

Walkathon will help African jungle tribe An abandoned tribe in the jungles of Cameroun, West Africa will benefit from ney raised by 25 young people in a walkathon at King's Park last Sunday. The young people and the old of this African tribe are members of the w orldwide Focolare Movement which aims at promoting brotherly love and unity among individuals and nations. " Operation Africa" began ten years ago when members of the Focolare learned that this tribe was dying out due to the lack of basic medical services. Hundreds of children had been victims of smallpox and could have been saved by vaccination. The chief, with the entire tribe had been praying for two years for relief because although they are "pagan" they have a strong sense of the divine. The local Catholic bishop learned of their plight and of their faith

and asked the Focolare Movement for volunteer doctors and nurses. Hundreds of people around the world began to contribute funds. A hospital was built, and gradually a maternity wing and pediatric wards. A primary and secondary school was also built. Members of the Focolare gave two or three years of their labour to help build and promote local industry, always working in unity with the native people. The most significant aspect of "Operation Africa" is that Africans from many countries visit this town to see how blacks and whites can live and work together in harmony. From this practical

illustration of the Gospel, the African people have learned what Christianity is about and over 4,000 have asked to be baptized. They have recently built a church which is a meeting place for both Christians and non-Christians every Sunday. One young person at the Kings Park walkathon said: "We want to do our part too in helping these people in the developing countries. "They are our brothers and so we're obliged to do something for them" Another said: "God will count what we do for t hem as done to Himself." The ten kilometre walk ended at the barbecue area for lunch and relaxing together.

I know one young lady who fasts quite regularly. I am not sure whether she does this for dietetic reasons or for a spiritual motive. Her austere rigours of limiting her food intake, may in fact, be a conscious response to Jesus' call for all Christians to practise fasting. In the Church, Advent is supposed to be a time of prayer and fasting; a time of rigorous preparation for the coming of Christ. We are called to take time out and ask ourselves what the coming feast really means to us. The great saints who help us to do world around us, we are tempted to week and at home try and pray as a this are the prophets of the Old think that the message of Advent is family.

The young people of St. Jude's, Lynwood arranged their first Youth Mass to coincide with the first Sunday of Advent because they felt youth and Advent have something in common — both are times of searching and waiting for the Lord. The Mass, celebrated by Fr. Henry Byrne, gave an opportunity to thirty young people to take an active part in preparing and performing the liturgical duties including serving and providing the music. The appeal of the celebration was enhanced by the modern, up-tempo flavour which was given to well known folk hymns and created an almost electric atmosphere from beginning to end. The fact that the young people were so eager and willing to commit themselves to this Mass is any indication, more youth Masses are a high probability. JENNY KEITH

I was one of the Catholic Singles Club members who attended a Chinese meal at Inglewood recently. Between verbal spar rings and chopsticks, I heard one young lady describing her ideal Mr. X as an owner of a well trained English shepherd dog. The evening was enjoyed by the twenty f ive who came even though they were disappointed that a guitarist could not provide a tune as his instrument was out of action.

James Brophy, of Mount Lawley, who died at the age of 92 last week retired in 1953 but he then gave more than a decade of service to the self-help building projects of many Catholic schools.

Born in NSW, his family came to settle in Cue in 1895 when gold fever hit the Murchison and the first Catholic church had been opened as a result in 1894. He served Mass in the church and later attended the school opened by the Dominican Sisters. He loved music and singing, learning first the violin from the Sisters and later becoming the euphonium player in the brass band t hat played in the rotunda still standing today in the main street of Cue.

He also contributed to building programmes at Santa Clara Bentley, Wundowie and numerous other small renovations for the Church and numerous other people for whom building would o therwise have been financially impossible. He was one of the earliest members of the Monastery Holy Family Confraternity, a foundation of the Holy Name Society and one of the early members of the Knights of the Southern C ross before they acquired the Pier Street premises in whose purchase he played a part. He was buried from Saint Paul's church, Mount Lawley, having been associated with Highgate and later Mount Lawley parishes from 1922 to 1980 apart from nine years in South Perth. He was predeceased in 1948 by his wife Helen Stone, who bore him three children, and later by Phyllis Johnson who died in 1958. May he rest in peace.

S YDNEY: A book has been launched aimed at increasing the Christian awareness of the importance and justice of the claims of Aborigines for land rights.

I BOLOGNA, Italy (NC) — The communist government has done better than the church in putting into practice Catholic social teachings in Hungary, Cardinal Laszlo Lekai of Esztergom, Hungary, was reported as saying. The Italian News Agency ANSA said that the Bologna-based Catholic magazine, Ii Regno (The Kingdom), featured an interview with Cardinal Lekai, the primate of Hungary. In the interview, said ANSA, Cardinal Lekai said that Marxism has done more in Hungary than the church did to make a reality of the social ideals proposed by Pope Pius XI's social encyclical, "Quadragesimo Anno" (Forty Years After).

"In Hungary the communist regime has done many things," the cardinal was quoted as saying. "The farmers — our country is predominantly agriculturoved by the Catholic Rev.

MIXED MARRIAGES: NO ACCORD

GLASGOW, Scotland (NC) — The Church of Scotland (Presbyterian) and the Catholic Church in Scotland have failed to reach agreement on a shared pastoral approach to mixed marriages.

A joint commission established nine years ago — the first of its kind since the Reformation — to examine the issue has been formally discontinued. Church spokesmen, however said the commission aided interchurch understanding by clarifying the issues separating the two churches. Prior to its demise, the commission prepared a booklet, "Interchurch Marriage", app-
