Rehce ord Even as the clouds burst last Sunday and broke the drought a suspicious observer from the last century preparing for the celebration of Foundation Day would have given the barometer a tap to see if it was really true. There — in the rain — was a redblooded match of league football being played on a Sunday afternoon and there was not a peep to be heard from a clergyman. Part of the reason is that the strident extreme Protestants who used to get mixed up in the Sunday morals issue are a dying r ace. The real reason is because Sunday had long ago been raided and plundered by any and every form of sport and recreation to such an extent that quite a few people need a holiday on Monday to get over Sunday. Catholics never used to get tangledin these issues because they were considered to have sold out on the continent of Europe where they could be seen indulging in Sunday processions, festivals and other questionable activities. Yet even the Catholic Church has begun to feel the strong winds of secularism that are blowing through the fabric of its external practice. Some 25 years ago when the first evening Masses were introduced in Perth it was said to be principally for the benefit of the nursing shift workers although realists in Europe had suggested that they were the ideal arrangement for skiers looking for an early Sunday start. This week Ascension Thursday will have caused many a parish priest to ponder the rather thin attendance at some Masses and wonder at the relevance of such Holy Days to the daily life of people. The liturgical reform admits of these feasts being transferred to a Sunday with appropriate approval but opponents of such moves ask whether this is not the final admission of indifference, if not defeat. In The Record last week a country priest expressed the concern of some of his brothers that the significant liturgical celebrations of Holy Week are swallowed up in a competition with packed holiday programmes. This issue carries the story of a challenge put to a Bunbury conference by a layman who asked those present what they were doing for the three quarters of the Catholic population who do not go to Mass regularly. A t Whitfords a minority of parishioners are having to struggle with a heavy debt for a church that beckons the Catholics not only of the future but of the present who would fill it to the doors were they all to come regularly on Sundays. Outside Catholic and the even smaller worshipping circles of other churches the blight is even more apparent. It is easy to demonstrate that a sizeable portion of the population under 25 have never entered a church, save for an occasional wedding, for a service of worship andprayer. The scene becomes bewildering and confusing as the church begins to regroup and recharge its resources to attempt the new e vangelisation of the suburbs that is so long o verdue. A fter the Ascension the apostles were told to stop looking skywards andrather despondently traced their steps back to Jerusalem. But soon the Lord's Day began to take on a new dimension in their lives and they were seen to be celebrating His Eucharist as a sign to the world. A ttendance at Mass, let alone keeping any sort of sanctity about the day itself is one of the sensitive and critical areas that challenge the unity, peace and stability of the Catholic family today. Moral theology may have produced unassailable arguments about attendance at Mass, and Protestant protagonists may have tried their hardest to legislate about how the citizens would go about their Sundays. The real change has to come about by a Pentecost in the liturgy, persuading Catholics of the Mystery of Christ that calls them week after week to be on in faith in His prayer to the Father. By that time they will have made up their o wn minds about Sunday football, or Easter v acations. 4

Raising children needs "extraordinary virtue"
ROME (NC) — At a meeting with about 25,000 members of Focolare, a Catholic family movement, Pope John Paul II appealed for deeply-lived Christian family life, calling marriage and the raising of children a Christian vocation that "requires extraordin ary virtue."
Family life called Christian vocation
The pope spoke at R ome's indoor Sports palace and analysed the linkage of love, marriage and children. "The force that unites you is love...Love is formed in the human person, it embraces the body and the soul, it matures in the heart and the will," the pope "In having children," the "The dignity of 'parents' doned elderly into "foster" said.

Catholics in Africa
ROME (NC) — The number of Catholics in Africa increased by 1.8 million between 1979 and 1980, keeping pace with the growth in the continent's population, according to statistics released by Fides, the news service of the Vatican Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples. The proportion of Catholics to the total African population was 12.4 percent during 1979. The continent had 56,667,626 Catholics in a total population of 456,106,000 at the beginning of 1980. The percentage of African Catholics has grown from 1 percent in 1901 to 7.5 percent in 1951 to the present 12.4 percent. Three small nations Cape Verde Islands, Reunion adn Seychelles -- were more than 90 percent Catholic at the beginning of 1980, w hile the largest number of Catholics ( 12,413,239) lived in Zaire. In 12 African countries less than 1 percent of the population was Catholic. These countries are Algeria, C omoro Islands, Egypt, Ethiopia, Guin e a , Mauritania, M orocco, Niger, Sahara West, Somalia, Tunisia and Upper Volta.
Oath for guards
VATICAN CITY (NC) — Nineteen new recruits were sworn into the Vatican's Swiss Guards earlier this month. At a morning Mass in the Vatican Gardens before the induction, Pope John Paul II -told the new guards that some of their predecessors has had to "sacrifice their life in carrying out their duty" — a reference to the 147 Swiss Guards who died protecting Pope Clement VII during the sack of Rome in 1527. "We pray to the Lord to keep violence and fanaticsm far away from the walls of the Vatican," the pope said, "but the readiness to give your life if it should be necessary can become real in your service as well." Swiss Guard recruits must be male, Swiss, Catholic, single and under 25. This year the guards marked the 475th anniversary of their formation. Swiss soldiers had been in the service of the papacy since the 14th century, but they were formed as a separate, organised corps by Pope Julius II in 1506. Later in the morning the new recruits, dressed in full armor and helmet, walked one by one to the centre of the San Damaso Courtyard, grasped the guard corps' colourful banner in the left hand, raised the right hand with two fingers and thumb outstretched to symbolise the Trinity, and took the oath to protect th pope and, between papacies, the College of Cardinals.
Violence victims
NEW YORK (NC) — On the day following Bobby Sands' death Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York told a noonday crowd of 1,300 at a Mass for peace and reconciliation in St. Patrick's Cathedral that "we remember today all who have suffered from acts of violence and those who have died. "With faith and hope," Cardinal Cooke said, "beseech our God that the present moment be an opportunity for calm, for true healing and for a renewed effort finally to overcome the injustices in basic human rights, including housing, education and employment. "We pray also," he added, -for the gift of wisdom that will bring about humane adjustments in the judicial and prison system." In response to questions flooding into the New York archdiocesan communications office about the Catholic funeral being given to Sands, Father Edwin F. O'Brien, a spokesman for the archdiocese, said that, while Sands' death was objecively a suicide, there was no doubt about the subjective state of his conscience. Father O'Brien said it is "rare" these days for anyone to be denied Christian prayers and burial for having committed suicide. A person who commits suicide can be given .a Christian burial "if there Is any doubt about whethera true suicide occurred or if there was some psychological impairment that precluded a responsible or true moral decision" bY t hat person, Father O'Brien said.

SYDNEY: The whole Church has the responsibility of fostering religious vocations, Auxiliary Bishop Robert Healy of Perth told a combined meeting of the Australian bishops and major religious superiors. "The mission of the people of God — pastors, laity and religious — is one," he said.
"This is not to say it is exactly the same for all of us. "But it is one mission. "It is the mission of Christ continued in the world. "Our mission has its source in Christ's mission and we are all inspired by the same Spirit." Bishop Healy was speaking about traditional and new forms of apostolic presence of religious in the Perth archdiocese. Religious, he said, have made an enormous contribution to the life of the Church. Recent figures from Rome said there are a million religious women in the world and 270,000 religious men. "Religious have made — and are still making — a most fruitful contribution to the life of the Church in Australia," he said. Their traditional works have been in areas like schools, hospitals, orphanages and the Aboriginal apostolate. "The whole school system, for example, once depended on them," he said.
The mission of the people of God — pastors, laity and religious — is one. This is not to say it is exactly the same for all of us. But it is one mission. It is the mission ofi Christ continued in the world.
Bishop sees one mission aim "If we can take advantage of Government assistance now it is only because of the religious and the work they have done in the past." An important problem facing the Church is the lack of religious. This is caused partly by the small number of people entering the religious life. It is made more obvious because a growing number of religious are taking up new apostolates, which leaves fewer available for traditional ones. Bishop Healy spoke of some new apostolates being taken up in the Perth archdiocese. For example, religious are working as assistants in parishes, as social workers, in renewal and prayer programmes, visiting prisons and in new missionary ventures. "On the positive side there is a

they care for individual religious men and women and their own particular gifts and charisms." But, he added, there are problems, too. One is that there are not enough brothers and sisters for both the traditional and new apostolates. Another is that there has been a lack of planning in some areas — and also a lack of adequate training — for new apostolates.
Bishop Healy said he is personally very encouraged by some aspects of vocations and planning today. "People point to the numbers of people who leave the Church and stop going to Mass, the priests who leave and so on," he said. "Yet here we see the holy Spirit arousing new enthusiasm, a new spirit of co-operation and a new flowering holiness and dedication in The Church."
OSister Elizabeth Murphy, (pictured) is originally from South Perth and had served in Manjimup and New Norcia before being elected in 1977 to head 2,000 sisters of St. Joseph in Australia and New Zealand. In her talk Sr. Elizabeth quoted from a prayer Mary Mac Killop, foundress of the Sisters of St. Joseph, wrote in August, 1873. "May thy holy Spirit, 0 God, direct me in hat I am about to write... "It is thy will, my God,I seek andIhumbly beseech thee to enlighten as you see best my weak mind that it may faithfully express to those concerned the true state of our Australian needs insofar as it comes within the scope of our Rule to meet them." St. Elizabeth commented: "In this current year we are seriously reflecting on the expression of our congregational charism in its apostolic mission. "The prayer Mary MacKillop wrote 100 years ago reflects the search that is ours today."

The Record, May 28 —June 3, 1981
Catholic crusader's colorful life
When the first issue of The Record appeared in July 1874 its co-editor for four years was 38 year old Joseph Thomas Reilly alongside Father John O'Reily, later archbishop of Adelaide and Father Matthew Gibney later Western A ustralia's renowned bishop. When J.T. Reilly arrived in the colony at the age of 15 he went into the print trade and became during his lifetime a prodigious writer and crusader for many Catholic and other civic causes in the colony of Western Australia. His name surfaces continually alongside a dozen or so prominent Catholic personalities who are the mainstay of Western Australia's handful of priests battling to cover vast areas and get a minimum of respectable recognition and justice from a superior and at times bigoted Protestant establishment. The journalist in him made J.T. Reilly suggest in 1862 to Bishop Salvado that a press was needed to produce a Catholic magazine. The need was not felt immediately but before the end of the decade knew what sort of battle
they faced when newspapers would not print reports of Catholic meetings on education and space had to be bought to insert condensed r eports. As Father Gibney's Subiaco orphanage project became the new Catholic challenge of the 1870's there was no trouble in convincing the administrator Father Griver to pay £120 for the press that would produce The Record and train young printers in the Orphanage Press at Subiaco, now the site of the McAuley Centre. J.T. Reilly's literary peak could have been the massive 760 page volume "Reminiscences of Fifty Years in Western Australia" that appeared in 1903 in the autumn of his life in Northam where he had founded the Northam Advertiser. But the ageing prolific writer was no editor and like a prophet ignored in his own country his book failed partly because of its steep 10/6 price and what was considered too much Catholic information in its mountain of tightly written detail.
From its limbo on Catholic bookshelves and today something of a collector's item the book is a rich if daunting mine of information. For the WAY 79 150th anniversary J.T. Reily's observations and contributions to the State were resurrected and written into a new story by his grand-daughter Mrs. Lucille Quinlan of Ballarat who knew him only from one fleeting memory in her early childhood but who came West on many trips in search of historical material. The J.T. Reilly story published by Polding Press Melbourne 517.95 hardcover $12.50 runs under the title "Undaunted Spirit" a quotation of Pope Pius IX that was the banner of The Record. It takes its place in Catholic libraries alongside and as a complement to the History of the Catholic Church In Western Australia, published by the archdiocese of Perth for WAY 79 and available from the Chancery Office Victoria Square.
A lesson in living for all
As the Catholic schools of the 1980's change course with the introduction of lay teachers and a non-Catholic clientele they can take a leaf from the story of J.T. Reilly's future wife and the pioneers of WA's Catholic schools.
The Protestant, 11 year old Mary Lucille Burrows asked Bishop Brady coming out of Mass to introduce her to the Sisters of Mercy.

Daughters of Charity — Sr. Pat Rafferty talks....
Their calling is to ( Vocations today. imitate Christ in serving the poor \SEVERAL CENTRES A series presented in conjunction with thP Vocations Council of WA.
"The Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul are vowed to serve the poor and after all, if we go back to the life of Christ, don't we find that He came for the poor?" says Sister Pat Rafferty. "Didn't He come to restore the dignity of man? Isn't this really what the church is about? "Today we are going after everybody who is rejected in someway by society. "There are many different forms of poverty in the world, mainly where peopie have lost their dignity. . These are the people we search out: The homeless, lonely, destitute, lower socio-economic group, the materially poor, the spiritually poor . . . wherever they are to be found . . . "We work for persons like the Aboriginal people who have had their dignity taken from them through unacknowledged land rights and racial discrimination. "So many people are rejected today and we try to bring the love of Christ to these people. "We endeavour to restore their hope and that's the main thing we aim to do. "I think that the face of poverty has changed considerably and this is a constant cause of concern and animated discussion in our Community.
"One of the things we came up with was that we ourselves must learn to live within insecurity and it is only in as much as we understand this that we have the strength of the Spirit, to go forward with

Her attraction was towards help for derelicts in need
• The Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul the largest congregation in the Church, were founded in 1633 by Saint Vincent and Saint 1.ousie de Marillac, a widowed member of the French aristocracy with one son. Earlier. Saint Vincent had gathered together in 1617 his first women's auxiliary, The Ladies of Charity, drawn from the aristocracy. Eventually they found the work too distasteful assisting the poor and used their servants instead. Marguerite Naseau, a peasant girl, came to offer her services and more and more peasant girls followed her dedication and were placed under the care of Saint Louise. For 300 years the Daughters of Charity wore their distinctive habit and head bonnet until 1964 when overnight 48,000 Daughters around the world followed the decision to move into their new style habit.
