1981
NUMBER: 2232 PRICE: 30 cents
One of the first to be transferred to the new $22.7 million seven -storey hospital of Saint John of God last Saturday was Mrs Janic Thair of Karrinyup.
Sharing in the transport and baggage handling were Sister Adams (left) and Sister Brenda vice provincial of the St. John of God Sisters. Although the hospital is not to be opened officially until May 1 all services are now coming into operation, including an eight-theatre surgical block and completely new kitchen and staff dining quarters. St. John's, with 355 beds, becomes the largest private hospital in Australia and one of the very few having the function of a teaching hospital. During construction, the number of available beds was reduced to 282. The total available in the new complex is an increase of 73 on former capacity. The construction of the new hospital meant the demolition of the three storey open wards that had become characteristic of the earlier buildings along with the wide jarrah verandahs. Modern smaller wards and private rooms with ensuite facilities are being provided to replace the former large wards. Redevelopment of the maternity hospital enabled reallocation of existing space to provide 32 additional beds in comfortable, attractive surroundings.

The column YOU write
Rehce ord Ronnie Barker has gone straight after his stir in BBC Porridge and Ronnie Biggs looks like going straight back again. The public begins to have a bad attack of blurred fact and fantasy and it becomes a moot point who is suffering the most probably the public. It started badly this week when Melbourne journalist Laurie Oakes took off a cash prize, television equipment, and a pat on the back from a leading electronics manufacturer because of the fine job the judges said he had done in leaking the 1981 Federal Budget. For yet another time Oakes was unabashedly his o wn judge of his own behaviour in the matter, deciding that if his subterranean contacts are better than anyone elses, then so are his ethics and the dollars they bring him. Representing the suffering public was Communications Minister Ian Sinclair who for the privilege of glad-handing an electronics industry presentation had to make the award to a back stabbing job on his own Cabinet colleague. Ronald Biggs of course has taken first prize for manipulating his own image thumbing his nose at the public for — of all reasons — the twist that he sired a son by his Brazilian paramour. The public nose, however, got its final rubbing as the grocery chains waged war in massive advertising forays that must be consoling to the shopper who can save $5 if their car can travel far enough and fast enough before the prices change. It is all part of the plan for cheaper prices, the chain store spokesmen assure us altruistically, not ruling out a round or two among the giants to see who can clean up the market once and for all. There is almost a touch of sympathy for the Biggs' kidnappers standing slack -jawed in the wings as the news services make more money out of .their drifting craft than the kidnappers could e ver have made out of the same media. The public assumes the same slack -jawed appearance, suspecting that lots of money flows around their marooned craft and they are the bunnies in the middle. The ethics of such complexities as the modern communications media do not fit into the simplistic Sunday-school categories that are espoused too uncritically while more serious issues threaten. The ethics are complicated because greater and greater volumes of money are being called upon to finance the publishing, television and radio industries. Slumped before the box, queuing for the latest glossy magazine that costs the sky, the public is telling the producer that more outlay is what they want. It is of more than passing concern to small independent publications such as The Record and A ustralia's other Catholic and church publications. They have been told in no uncertain terms where the advertising dollar can find greener grass. In the end the ethics of public acceptance and gullibility may turn out to be just as serious a question as the manipulation that this week's media events show to be going on. The new hero maybe, not the train robber, or the publicity schemer, but the tiny citizen who dares to stand up and say so.
Temporary richness From Mrs Eric Glorie, Queens Park I do not envy the rich, they pay a lot of tax, so we can have an old age pension. So, who is poor? We are all heirs of the kingdom of God, therefore we are rich. On the subject of the material poor, our St. Vincent de Paul stores are stocked with goodies. Being poor or rich is only temporary — what you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, but the most necessary is getting close to Jesus: Blessed are the poor in spirit, the kingdom of heaven is theirs.

REPORT IS 'HOGWASH' NEW YOR K (NC) — A recent report by a Soviet news agency saying that Catholic priests in Lithuania are becoming increasingly loyal to the S oviet system is "largely hogwash", a ccording to Father Casimir Pugevicius, executive director of Lithuanian C atholic Religious Aid.
"If you want to say that inmates in a maximum security prison increase in loyalty to their c ustodians, then I suppose it's true that the C atholic clergy of Lithuania have partly accommodated to the regime," he said in a statement issued from the Lithuanian organization's headquarters in Brooklyn.
Divorce' doesn't impede LONDON (NC) — Divorce and remarriage o r marriage to a divorced person, no longer constitute a barrier to ordination or to appointment as a vicar or rector of a parish, the (Anglican) Church of England's General Synod decided. Legislation will be drafted to implement this decision. . The synod also asked its liturgical commission to prepare forms of service that can be used for private, but not public, services of prayer and dedication for those who remarry after divorce. But any discussion of the central issue of whether the Church of England should allow t he remarriage in church of divorced people — an issue on which the church is split fairly evenly — was deferred until the next meeting of the synod in July.
Bang is awarded estate W ASHINGTON (NC) — The estate of an unborn baby has been awarded $75,000 damages by a District of Columbia Superior Court jury. The suit, filed against Dr. Edward C. Werner and Greater Southeast C ommunity Hospital, Washington, claimed the death of the foetus within the mother's womb was the result of medical malpractice by the doctor.
The case is apparently the first time the estate of a stillborn baby has successfully collected damages under the district's Survival Act, which allows estates of deceased people to sue for damages for alleged malpractice.

Being prime viewing time for childrenIknow that all programmes must have a G rating soIhad not previously reviewed the programme asI should have. The following evening my husband watched it and agreed it was not suitable for children so we wrote to the ABC to present our views requesting the removal of this programme - at least from the present time slot. In their reply the ABC informed us that this series concludes on April 20th. However, they continued: "Our planning takes into account all research and opinion available to us, so we thank you again for taking the trouble to write." Iurge your readers, firstly, to "take the trouble to write" to the ABC to give your "opinion" of this soft sell of the permissiveness of society on a children's time-slot, ensuring that there shall be no repeats. Secondly, can anyone tell me where to write to protest, to the Commonwealth Censor, about the G rating given this programme?

Miss Jo-Ellen Karstens, now working for the Focolare movement in Perth, was born in Chicago and educated there at St Isaac Jogues School and the Nazareth Academy before going on to Loyola University' where he obtained the degrees of Bachelor of Science and Master of Education. A fter graduation she taught for two years in Chicago at Catholic schools and for two years at State schools. In Florence, Italy, she worked for two years and studied at the International Institute of the Focolare Movement from which she obtained a certificate in religious and social studies. She worked for five years in Melbourne as a school counsellor and she has been doing the same work in Perth the past two years. Jo-Ellen Karstens explains that the Italian word foco- forThe educational institutions she covers are St Gerard's and the Nlajella primary school at Balga, and the lare means hearth or fireplace and the object of the Girrawheen Catholic Primary that School.

The fire in the fireplace is the symbol of God's love brought into every activity in life such as work, the home and sport.

She and a group of close friends were living in wartime conditions where their lives could end from One moment to the next and they decided that they would spend what might remain of their lives in doing something worthwhile. They turned to the Gospel to read and put into practice what was written, one phrase at a time. They soon realised that this practical activity was improving their daily lives and their relationships with other people. They had no intention of starting anything in the way of an order or a movement but other people were inspired by their example and followed it.
Barriers Inside six months they had 500 followers — men, women, children and priests. The main thing that struck them in the Gospel was God's love and how ordinary people could respond to it by doing His will, The great message of Love One Another broke down the barriers of hatred and distrust. Jo-Ellen says that Focolare aims to carry Gospel texts into practical effect. It takes a text each month and lives it out for the remainder of the month. The words of Jesus at the Last Supper, for example -- "Father I pray
that they all may be one as You and I are one" — cause the activity of the month to be dedicated to fostering unity among people. "Who humbles himself will be exalted" is the call to practise humility. "Let your light shine before men so that they may give glory to your Father in Heaven" demands the teaching of others by example. Every phrase, she says, comes back to love of God and neighbour. When the war ended the Focolare movement spread rapidly through Europe and the UK and made its first ecumenical contacts. In WA it has strong ecumenical appeal. Many of the 2,000 copies of the Focolare news-sheet Word of Life produced each month go to Anglicans in the Bunbury diocese; at Busselton a Uniting Church minister and his wife are actively promoting the movement; and copies are distributed by the Anglican Church in Floreat Park. The WA centre of Focolare is a housing unit at Glendalough which is the home of Jo-Ellen and her two coworkers Corrie Ruse and Krys Pacyna. Jo-Ellen devotes all her time to the movement and she is assisted out of normal business hours by Krys who has a job as a secretary and Corrie who is a compositor. Three married couples are also cornmitted to working for the movement which will soon have a men's centre to be operated by three men who are being sent from Australian headquarters in Melbourne.
Mariapolis The world co-ordinating council is located in Rome. Jo-Ellen is a trained counsellor and her activities at the three schools that she covers involve helping the pupils and their parents to solve the problems that confront them. "There I don't talk about Focolare," she says, "but its way of life is a great -help to me in my job." The three Glendalough girls try to live the Gospels in their own lives and to share the resultant joy with others. They conduct readings with small groups in various houses around the city. They have children's, teenage and adult groups. Once a year they have a Mariapolis, a three-day live-in session for families. For the past two years it has been conducted at Aquinas College and 340 people attended last year's. "It's like a little town where people can experience what life is like with everyone trying to live for God," Jo-Ellen says. She feels that the heartening WA response to Focolare stems from the fact that people are looking for something practical that can help them 24 hours a day.

All I seemed to hear beating the air waves on Saint Patrick's Day were some pretty lame Irish jokes and superficial gimmicky stunts and comments on what was really a big day for the Irish and Australian church.
Even Norman Gunston, "the little bleeder", was in Perth sampling shamrock ale.
If you had landed in town that day ignorant of St. Patrick (heaven forbid), you could have been excused for thinking that he was either a publican or a comedian. He was neither, butIam sure he must have acquired over the centuries a great sense of humour all the same. It was my special good fortune to celebrate this special day for the Irish at a Mass at Iona College, in the lovely setting of the surrounding park. I am glad to say the majority present were young people who attend the college. This was a very appropriate combination — the green park and the young people — because I see St. Patrick as a Young People's Saint. He embodies two ualities which the
On the first weekend of March, 25 young people from parish youth groups in Morley, Dianella, Bassendean, Inglewood and O sborne Park came together for a Christian Living Camp at Parkerville. The team that prepared the weekend chose as its theme "Break Down the Walls that Separate Us". Participants were given the opportunity to hear young people sharing their understanding of their faith and were able to take a deeper look at their prayer life, their relationship in their families and their relationship with God. The sacraments of 0040100. Reconciliation and the goo0NOkk,,u,,, Eucharist were celebrated. I hope that the friendships made will be just the beginning of greater activity in the northern region.

Book of Proverbs talks about regarding youth....Strength and Discipline. They are seen as the crowning glory of the young. Patrick was a lad of 16 when he was sold into slavery in an environment of paganism, yet he survived those pressures and dedicated his life to preaching the good news. Minding his sheep he became unafraid of prayer. In his behaviour and way of living, he converted many to the faith. He was identified as a Christian. I firmly believe that we have many young people of the character of Patrick today. They are full of faith and enthusiasm and are ready to stand up and be counted. You only have to look to those young people who are involved in parish and diocesan activities to see the calibre of young Christians we have among us. One thing the world needs very much is Good News today and if it is brought with youthful zeal, there is nothing more attractive or inspiring. So being young is not a disadvantage, on the contrary, St. Paul, writing to one of his most loyal followers, Timothy, says "Do not let people disregard you because you are young but be an example to all the believers in the way you speak and behave, and in your love, your faith and your purity". Are you going to accept this challenge? Pat did.

Strong call for piety
The men and women who attended the first of the year's functions to be c onducted by the Religious Vocations Council revealed a strong interest in c ommitment to Christian life and action. "The 19 men and six women who met with nine religious from last Friday evening until Sunday middary were described as almost looking for a way of c ommitting themselves more to Jesus Christ in serving the Church, a spokesman said. "The majority of those who attended had left school upwards of a year and it was felt that this trend is likely to continue among people interested in a vocation to religious life. The weekend, at the Redemptorist Retreat House, was also a departure from programmes formerly conducted by the Religious Vocations Council that were publicised as general prayer weekends for people seeking goals in their lives.
There were five such weekends last year but last weekend's opening look at commitment will be followed by only one further weekend in 1981, that will concentrate specifically on the call to religious life. There will be also two public information sessions in August simply to give information on religious communities and their life. Nine religious helped last weekend's participants look closely at the idea of the Church, the meaning of a call, and the fact that Jesus is a person who makes a call to an individual. Newly ordained Redemptorist Fathers Peter Black and Brian Jones dealt with the topic of the Church, and other topics were worked out in an adult education process. They included group exercises such as identifying

questions that would present a challenge in five years time. "There was a strong feeling among them that they are called to be better Catholics and Christians than they are at present, the spokesman said. "Many already feel called to a life of commitment. "On the other hand many said they did not really understand religious life and could not easily distinguish it from other forms of dedication in the lay apostolate. "That is why the next weekend
and the two presentations in August will be geared specifically to giving information and direction in this area. "Ten of the 25 percent have already signed up for the next weekend, and any person interested can attend without having attended the March gathering."

Visitors are welcome to stay for the Solemn liturgy of the Lord's Death at 2pm. Hot water will be available for those bringing picinic lunch.
We have just found out that the word "encounter" means "discover" in Spanish; and discovering was just what the couples seemed to be doing this weekend. Most really worked at finding out more about themselves and each other, and then growing as a couple. Mark Bourhill, Attadale, described the weekend as being "like putting our lives under a microscope and objectively examining the giant step we have taken" and he highly recommended it to all engaged couples. "The greatest gift I could give my fiancee as an engagement gift was to spend time sharing this weekend with her. It is really worth the effort and has given us a better start than the great start we already had," said Joseph DeJong of Bunbury.

ROMEO'S BABY
A Westbred Yearling Pacer will be raffled as part of a special Appealathon fund-raising venture. Channel Nine in association with the WA Standard Breeders' Association announced the venture last week. The colt, yet to be named, was selected on its pedigree by the Association from the entries for the 1981 Westbred Yearling Sale. It was bought from the breeder Mr Roy Adam, of Pinjarra, and has now been sent to Noel Firkins' stables at Baldivis to be educated and broken to the sulky only. The colt is by the Former World Champion pacer Romeo Hanover from the Gloucester Park winning mare Nevada Rose. A colt from Purple Para (Nevada Rose's full-sister) recently sold for $15,000 at the NSW Yearling Sales. Tickets in the raffle are available from Channel Nine Gloucester Park, Richmond Raceway, and country trotting clubs for $2.00 each.

A missionary who saved a dying race "The late Father Richard Docherty MSC not only built a mission from nothing at Port Keats, near Darwin, but he also rescued a tribe from extinction," said Father Pat Ahern, of the Perth Catholic Missions Office.

He was speaking after a recent visit to the mission which Father Docherty directed for 23 years. One of a well-known West Australian family, Father Docherty began his schooling at Guildford and was an altar server at Midland. Two of his surviving Sisters, Sister Monica and Rita, (pictured) are living in retirement at Mercyville, Craigie, and his brother Jim lives at Toodyay. Father Docherty died at Nazareth House, Hilton, in May last year. Today Port Keats Mission is a large thriving establishment of almost 200 people. The Docherty sisters — Sister Monica (left) and In his autobiography, Father Docherty wrote of the Situated almost 300 km south west of Darwin fights that raged at night on several occasions near his Sister Rita — now in residence at the Sisters of Mercy, between the Daly and Fitzmaurice Rivers, it was and Craigie, with a picture of their brother, the late Father tent when spears rattled into the jungle. still is a Promised Land for the Aboriginal people.
