This was one of two motions passed at the annual state conference last Sunday and which will be forwarded to the national c onference in Tasmania later this year.
The other motion for the national conference was a recommendation that government funding of natural family planning centres be maintained. The second motion came forward from the Bunbury diocesan CWL which has given active support to the natural family planning movement and funded four t eachers of the method to go to Melbournme for further study earlier this year.

PASTORAL RESPONSE
DELEGATES R EPORT
ADELAIDE: The Catholic Church in South Australia is about to launch a study of needs and to make a pastoral response.
Archbishop Gleeson last week outlined steps that would be, taken by the archdiocese of Adelaide and it is anticipated that the diocese of Port Pine will enter the programme at the end oft he first stage.
Benemerenti given to Australians
ADELAIDE — PopeJohn Paul has bestowed papal honours on seven SA lay people.
A mong the delegates to organisations who made reports to last ,Sunday's state conference of the Catholic Womens League were Mrs NellReynolds, of Subiaco- Wembley branch, andMrs Alice Gee, ofBrentwooa branch.

WOMEN JOIN IN PRAYER
To gather women of all religious beliefs to pray together, the Australian Church Women sets aside, two days a year.
He has created four Knights of St Sylvester. He has conferred the medal Benemerenti (To a well-deserving person) on three others. Archbishop Glees on announced the papal honours as he completed ten years as Archbishop of Adelaide. "Last month I completed 10 years of service as Archbishop of Adelaide," he said. "It seemed proper to me, and to Bishop Kennedy, that I should take appropriate steps to acknowledge the outstanding work of a number of lay people who have been closely associated with me over these years in the apostolate of the Church in this archdiocese." The honours are to be conferred this Sunday, July 5, at the feast of Saints Peter and Paul that is traditionally the Holy Father's feast day. The four Knights of St Sylvester are: 'Mr John McDonald, SA Director of Catholic Education. •Mr David Shinnick, who has been a leader in the lay apostolate in Adelaide and is a member of the Centre for Continuing Religious Education team. •Mr Brian Moylan, secretary of the Christian Life Movement and a member of the Pope's Council for the Laity. •Mr Nicholas Kerr, editor of The Southern Cross. The three honoured with the Benemerenti medal have allbeen active in the lay apostolate. They are: •Mrs Nell Kain, former national, State and diocesan president of the Catholic Women's League. •Mrs Barbara Grealy, international secretary of the Catholic Women's League, Australia, and secretary of the Diocesan Committee for Ecumenism. •Miss Carmel Clancy, teaching supervisor in natural family planning with the Catholic Famly Life Services.
Group handles pope's visit
In releasing details of the move Archbishop Gleeson made the following remarks: *The late Pope Paul VI issued a major statement on e vangelisation in1975. He said there are three burning questions facing the Church today: •What has happened to that hidden energy of the Good News which can have such a powerful effect on man's conscience? *To what extent can this hidden energy really transform the people of this century? And ho w can it do it? 'What methods should we follow so the Gospel's power may have its effect? Pope Paul said God gave the Church the Second Vatican Council at a turning point in history. We must now ask ourselve: Does the Church find itself better equipped to do its work because of the Council? This work, he said, is "to proclaim the Gospel and to put it into people's hearts with conviction, freedom of spirit and effectiveness." The Church in Adelaide is about to embark on a self-study. It will have six general aims. First: To enable the archdiocese to face the questions put by Pope Paul. Second: To help us strive for conversion and renewal. Third: To help us discover the joys and hopes, the fears and anxieties of all the people in the archdiocese. Fourth: To help us: TO DISCOVER and develop new forms of apostolic presence. TO SELECT pastoral goals. TO DEVELOP programs to provide for a continuing formation and renewal of lay people, religious and clergy. Fifth: To help us strengthen the apostolic life and commitment of all members of the diocesan family. Sixth: To help us co-ordinate the efforts of everyone in the archdiocese as we all work. The subject of a renewal had come up at a meeting last April between Archbishop Gleeson and the Senate of Priests when he gave a report of meeting between the bishops of South Australia and the major religious superiors. He told the priests: In our discussions we came to see that, in many ways, we had lost, or never had, a "vision of the Church" and its apostolate to all. We, as it were, need to "dream dreams" and to discover the dreams of others, especially of those completely or partially alienated from the Church.

our prayers A s Australia celebrates on this Sunday the feast of Saints Peter and Paul held in Rome last Monday the Holy Father himself has set the mood for the prayer traditionally offered for him on this day. Firmly committed by his doctors to his bed in the Gemelli Hospital the pope expressed his deep regret that he was not spending the feast in prayer at the tomb of the apostle Peter. Having come so close to violent death as a successor of that same-Peter, Pope John Paul ll's life will become itself a unique prayer in papal history. When Peter's body was consigned to a ditch grave on the side of the Vatican hillside cemetery there was none of the worldwide acclaim that surrounds a papal figure. The only cheers to be heard were not from thousands of pilgrims but from the crowds who had watched an old man put to death on a cross in the stadium nearby. Praying for a pope who is critically ill is not an uncommon occurrence in the Church. Much as admiration and devotion to the Holy Father might suggest otherwise, each turns out to be a very mortal being in no way exempt from old age and death. Until this decade the death or a pope has been seen much in the vein of monarchs and other leaders who traditionally died in office. While the Church has been spared the a wesome sense of tragedy that would have resulted from a fatal shooting, it is stillno less a pain to watch a man of such boundless health and dynamism having to draw rein for some time to come. Only cardinals looking at themselves in the conclave of a papal election can say if the Holy Spirit signals as pope the person of outstanding talent or whether the same Spirit works through the talents that are offered. Pope John XXIII came to office in extreme old age, from a career in the Church that had attracted the least attention, into a Rome that scarcely wanted to know him. Yet his quick assessment of the tempo of the church and his launching of the Second Vatican Council became a supreme moment in history even though he would die long before its sessions were concluded let alone its impact being felt. Pope John Paul ll has had to take up the papacy in the full exposure of satellite television and he is obviously aware of the impact that such communication is having on modern thinking and attitudes. For that reason he is forced to fit the popular image of prime ministers and politicians:— if they are so presumptive as to seek office then the public is entitled to treat them cynically until they prove themselves otherwise. In practically every country he has visited or major statement he has made the pope is put in a no-win situation as some anonymous commentator drones out the unsubstantiated statement that the pope has failed to live up to somebody or other's expectations. Catholics especially should avoid this attitude that it is up to the pope to make a success of his office as though he is there by his own choice or some popular vote. The pope is only as strong as the devotion and loyalty that Catholics give him. His teaching is of no consequence if it is not heard or appreciated in the full context of his living that truth himself He is above all the final bond of a faith that grows first in the family then in the parish and through the diocese into the universal church. The test of each Catholic's faith is how sincerely they can pray this Sunday: May the L ord preserve him and give him strength. 4
The Record, July 2-8, 1981
The Catholic bishops of New Zealand's six dioceses have expressed their opposition to the forthcoming Springbok rugby visit to New Zealand.
In a letter to all political parties (National, Labour and Social Credit) the bishops said: Freedom is a prized possession of democratic societies. However, freedom carries with it the obligation to be exercised reasonably if society is not to degenerate into anarchy. Consensus is the main agent by which societies preserve their freedoms. Where consensus is not sufficient, societies have recourse to law to modify the exercise of freedom so that conflicts may be resolved without violence. It is to Government that citizens confide the power to legislate for the modification of freedoms for the general well-being of society as a whole. At present we face a situation in which both consensus and law seem likely to fail to preserve the peaceful enjoyment of democratic freedoms. We refer to the confrontation which has arisen in New Zealand over the Springbok Tour. The Government has entered into multi-lateral agreements with Commonwealth countries to use its powers to dissuade sporting contacts, especially large-scale ones, between New Zealand and South Africa. However, Government also maintains the freedom of its sports people to enter into such contacts as is their democratic right. It obviously hoped that sports bodies would use their freedom in a manner so that New Zealand would not be brought into disrepute with other nations. The Rugby Union decided, in defiance of that presumption, to invite the Springboks to tour New Zealand, despite adverse international consequences, both diplomatic and economic. We have expressed our disappointment at that action. As a consequence of the invitation, we see in New Zealand a heightening of tension so as to presage violence and civil disruption. Newspaper reports speak of possibilities of violence frightening to us should the Springboks come. At this juncture, we believe that Government must look carefully to the mandate which its citizens have entrusted to it in order to preserve peace in the community, even if it cannot achieve harmony over the issue of the Springbok Tour. In our considered opinion, it would be wise in this difficult situation for it to forbid the tour. If it does forbid the tour, Government will be called upon to use its coercive rather than its legislative power.

The people who attended included doctors, nurses, teachers, tradesmen, office workers and several who had already spent some time working on the missions. The information day was an opportunity to hear various aspects of lay missionary work.
"The preparation courses help to clarify motivation and help prepare lay missionaries to cope with cross-cultural situations. "Belonging to a movement such as P ALMS gives support and encouragement to lay missionaries while they are on the missions and also helps them when they return," Mr Sinclair said. During the information day a film Indonesian Boomerang was viewed. This film highlighted differences in culture and customs which lay missionaries encounter.
Anyone interested in lay missionary work is invited to attend an information evening on Tuesday, August 4, at 8.00pm at the Cathedral Parish Centre, 450 Hay Street, Perth. Further information is available "The movement began in 1961", Mr from the Catholic Missions Office, 23 Sinclair said, "and since then over 1,000 Victoria Square, Perth, phone 3255264.

THREE Lebanon: help restore CARD the balance... TRICK
from Marie Clarke, Herne Hill
Sir, It seems that the reprint in The Record (June 18) of an article from the Health Education Unit "Yes My Baby Doesn't Smoke" may have fallen for the threecard trick.
It promotes an antismoking programme conducted by the National Heart Foundation and presented at the Womens Health Care Centre. My information is that the National Heart Foundation will accept venues that are provided free of charge for the promotion o f their health programmes. My other information is that much of the advice and counselling related to contraception and abortion (absurdly called fertility control) that is given at the Womens Health Care Centre is in marked contradiction to the teaching of the Catholic Church on such issues. Here we have a most commendable health education .subject promoted by a well-known health and medical organisation — but at the above mentioned address!

LONDON (NC) — Four Anglican priests in South Wales have decided to resign their posts and seek admission to the Catholic Church following the decision of the Anglican Church in Wales last year to start ordaining women as deacons. All four are unmarried and are thinking of offering themselves as c andidates for the Catholic priesthood. The four are Fathers William Isaac, Malcolm Brooks, John Hughes and David Smith. They arrived at their decisions independently.

W ASHINGTON (NC) — Human rights must be r espected and not limited if a country is to have national security, according to South Korea's Cardinal Stephen Kim, of Seoul.
He said this is one of the key themes he discusses with South Korean officials who are often "difficult to convince." In a Washington interview Cardinal Kim said he favoured the release from gaol of South Korea's most prominent political prisoner, Kim Dae Jung. Kim Dae Jung was con-

Christian Life Group SOCIAL CONCERN!Equal basis ISSUES REVIE The Christian Life movements want priests to be members of groups and not regarded as chaplains.
A recent interstate conference of key workers in the Christian Life Group movement spent three days of their six-day conference visiting and assessing areas of social concern. The Perth Catholic Social Apostolate Office hopes to make some of this experience part of the recommended social inquiry for Christian Life G roups. Four key workers from New South Wales and four from South Australia joined four West Australians in visits to the following areas of social concern: The unemployed, Aborigines, people at meal centres, refugees and children of people in crisis. The plan of the WA conference was put to Australian Catholic Relief and in view of the decision of partici-

pants to make contact with underprivileged sections of society ACR offered up to $3,000 for the conference. It was the third such interstate conference and the first to be held in W A. Four days of the conference were held at Jarrandale. The members of the Christian Life Group movement came together to look at the direction they were taking, to see how they could learn from the help each other. They also studied the role of priests in Christian Life Groups and also how they could assist other dioceses to establish the movement. After he had spent some time talking to unemployed people in Perth Mr Brian Moylan, (pictured left) of Adelaide, said: "I have learned a lot more about unemployed people and the suffering they go through. I was also very encouraged meeting the people working with the unemployed, helping them find jobs, develop skills and retain dignity." Fathr Chris Sheehy, chaplain to the Paulian Association in Sydney, said that his visit to refugees at Graylands Hostel and to families had shown that they were looking for friendship from the Australian people, which is more important to them than financial assistance. "This is especially true of Vietnamese women who suffer so much loneliness and isolation," he said. Kaye Cypher, of Perth, visited the De Paul Centre in West Perth and said she was impressed by the caring concern shown to people. "Some of the people are suffering from obvious handicaps and much patience is needed at times" she said. "In all their suffering they still need and respond to kindness." Margaret Van der Linden, of Ade-
laide, said that she could make a connection between these people and the times she felt lonely herself. Mr Jim Miolin (pictured below) executive officer of the Perth Catholic Social Apostolate said: "Before I came face to face with Aborigines I was under the impression that it was a very hopeless situation. But now I see the tremendous possibilities for these people. "They have the resources and they need support from committed people. We can learn a lot from them especially as a Christian community. "I believe that we have many fears about people we do not understand and I believe that if we can meet with them we find that many of our fears are in our imagination."
At the Jarrand ale conference of lay come to value him as a priest and movements Mr Brian Moylan, of seek to support him as a priest and in Adelaide, said that the title 'cha- his work for the whole community. plain' was not felt to be appropriate "There is a desire on the part of because it conjured up the role of a people working in parishes, such as chaplain to the armed services or to in pastoral councils, to see the priest the youth and secondary school as human and that he sees them as movements of the 1950's and 1960's. human also, that they work together "In the adult apostolate field we as real people, not in a doctorneed and appreciate having priests in patient relationship but as two people seeking the good of the groups on an equal basis" he said. "In that way we appreciate the help community. that can be given to us as lay people and at the same time we see that we have a contribution to make in the personal development of the priest." Dean William Foley, who is a member of the central Catholic Social Apostolate group in Perth, said that members of the Christian Life groups recognised the priest's need to share his Christian life with them. He said that this helped overcome the inherent loneliness of his position and enabled him to grow as a person through the depth of his sharing with them. "The presence of a priest in a group as a member leads to a reaffirmation of his valuing the spirituality of the laity and a re-affirmation of the movement both in the parish and further afield," he said. "They come to understand his priAndo& esthood in a vey concrete way. They DEAN FOLEY
GROUPS' PROMOTION BODY
The Christian Life Group movements of Perth, Adelaide and Sydney will form a federation to help promote the groups across Australia.
MR JIM MIOLIN
Following the interstate meeting last month, Mr Brian Moylan of Adelaide said: "We've been meeting over the past two years to see what we have in common, how can we build on this and to see what we may have to offer to the Church in Australia, particularly in these parts where we do not exist. From our meeting we have agreed that we form ourselves into a federation of independant diocesan movements of small groups for the ongoing formation of adults for their apostolate in home, work and society.
Lay movement
Bishop says a launching pad movement "little too modest" BATHROOMS .. . BEAUTIFUL PAINTING
A Sydney priest told Christian Life Group representatives at Jarrandale that lay movment was a launching pad for exercise of his priesthood.
Father Chris Sheehy said that at the time of his ordination eight years ago his picture of the priesthood was idealistic and in many ways he was a "priest-person" and not a "person-person".
"I have learned my faith and developed through being a part of the Paulian Christian Life Groups," he said.

"Nowadays it provides something lay people are looking for and therefore there is a question why it is not more widespread. "The movement needs to make itself more widely known and it will spread more rapidly. "It means becoming known to priests who need to know what it is doing, how it works, their place in it and how they can best help their people to live out their lay vocation.

MIGRANT BOY NOW CIVIC LEADER AT FREMANTLE
John grew up in Spearwood, the eldest of the eight children of quarry worker Bruno Cattalini and his wife Emilia. He considers himself fortunate to have been member of a big migrant family because his a goal -setting parents were always wanting to provide for their children things that they never had themselves.
The fact that all the children are now well-established adults is testimony to the wisdom and determination of their hard-working parents. As the eldest, John was included in family decision-making from an early age and constantly urged to be an aactive member of the community at large. The social structure of Spearwood was centre on the church and parish priest Father John Chokolich was instrumental in leading the eldest of the Cattalinis into community activities.
"BAND-WAGON" "Multi-cultural education," John says, "has been going on for many years in places like Spearwood. and Fremantle at church, school and local government level. "It has now developed into a bandwagon on which many of the riders do more harm than good, chiefly by highlighting the differences between the various ethnic groups. "When they are left alone the ethnic groups acknowledge the differences but share the difficulties, getting down to practicalities without making any fuss. "I've served on a number of multicultural committees and I think they're a waste of time. Committee members don't know what they are doing because they've no idea of the fabric of the communities they are supposed to be helping." John believes that he is capable of making a community service contribution through his knowledge of the viewpoint of ethnic communities and having lived and been in business in the Fremantle area. Fremantle has become a trendy place in which to live, he says. The sky-rocketing prices of innercity houses have had an unfortunate effect on the population mix that was previously well balanced. Young married couples, many the first-generation children of migrants,
have had to move out of the city itself because they can't afford the housing costs. They are taking up residence in surrounding areas and will still identify with Fremantle, but that identification will diminish with time. "It's a pity to lose them," he laments. Among the newcomers are a number of professional people, some of them connected with Murdoch University which is fairly handy to the port city. In recent years John has seen a lot of up-grading of buildings and improvement of amenities which have enhanced Fremantle's reputation as one of the most attractive port cities in Australia.

"It has awakened in couples a realisation of the need for things the Church has been talking about for years."

• Peter Ustinov is King Herod, whose fear of the messiah's possible power led him to order the execution of all newborn males.
The actor with this monumental task ahead of him never believed at the time he would get the role. "My first test, which wasn't directed by Zeffirelli, was a disaster," says Robert Powell. "1 had only two days to learn difficult pages from the Bible. I was bad and I looked awful with a beard and wig." Zeffirelli sent for him again, however, and after another test he was accepted. Powell became the centre of attention among some of the top names of the international film industry. James Mason flew in from Switzerland to play Joseph of Aramathea; Rod Steiger came from Malibu to play Pontius Pilate; Anthony Quinn arrived from Italy to portray Caiaphas; Anne Bancroft is Mary Magdalene; Sir Ralph Richardson is Simeon; Sir Laurence Olivier is Nicodemus; and Michael York plays John the Baptist. There was a world-wide search for the actress to portray the mother of Jesus and 30,000 pictures of would-be Marys arrived on Zettirelli's desk, but Richard Goodwin, associate producer of Zeffirelli's film Romeo and Juliet, suggested the Juliet of the film, Olivia Hussey. At the age of 25 she was nine years younger than Robert Powell to whom she plays mother. In the film her age ranges from 14 to 47. Robert Powell's role of Jesus took him to the heights of overseas stardom following a successful career previously based safely in Britain. "I've never done anything like it before or since," he says. "I suppose I would be disappointed if people didn't remember it." The $18 million invested in this production is evident in the lavish costuming and locale, with great attention being obvious in continuity and detail. The multitude of stars in leading
roles are well supported by yet, more top stars of such calibre as Ernest Borgnine, Claudia Cardinale, Stacy Keach, Tony Lo Bianco and Peter Ustinov. Jesus of Nazareth is presented in four parts on Channel Nine — Part One, Sunday July 5 at, 8.35pm; Part Two, July 7 at, 9.40pm; Part Three, Tuesday' July 14 at 9.40pm; and Part Four. Tuesday July 21 at 9.40 p.m. In early 1974 representatives of Italy's RAI-Televisione approached ITC's Sir Lew Grade with a number of co-production proposals, one of which was a series of films depicting the life of Christ.
Background Sir Lew, intrigued with the idea yet at the same time recognising the many pitfalls and potential problems inherent in such a massive project, gave his approval based on three conditions: 1. That "JESUS OF NAZARETH" takes into considera tion for the sake of historical and religious accuracy the advice of both C hristian and Jewish authorities. 2. That the project be directed by a top international director sensitive to historical fairness, yet artistically provocative, 3.

he had looked at more than 50,000 photos from all over the w orld. ("Many of them were outof-focus snapshots made by overeager mothers," he says). Miss Hussey didn't even bother to ask questions of Zeffirelli, who is more like a father to her. She was signed for the role of the Virgin Mary, says Zeffirelli, "because she has a timeless and ageless face...something I needed for Mary." Top name stars were not forgotten in the search. But Zeffirelli, who is a friend to many superstars, had a tough time saying no to many of them. "1 wanted international stars who fitted the role and not vice versa," he observes. During this time the writing team of Anthony Burgess and Suso Cecchi D'Amico together with Franco Zeffirelli were busily at work on the scripts in consultation with leading Christian (Catholic and Anglican) and Jewish authorities.
Locations After a year of preparation, location scouting and casting, activity intensified when Vincenzo Labella, who is an expert on religion in his own right (he was born and raised in the Vatican, was later a university professor and journalist before entering the motion picture field), was named as producer of Jesus of Nazareth.

Colin is appalled to learn that Christine has been routinely drugged, and that at the trial which condemned her to a life in institutions she was not advised of her rights or allowed to speak for herself.

T.V. Times, co-operated in the search and thousands of mothers again were at the ramparts with their off-spring in tow. Five actors had to be found. Robert Powell (Christ at 31) was picked, followed by four others ages 12, 5, 2 and the new-born babe. Zeffirelli's choices unintentionally had an ecumenical touch. Of the four young Jesus', two were Jewish, one was a Moroccan Arab and the Baby Jesus was a three-day-old baby girl. So thanks to the tenacity of Sir Lew Grade and the artistic and shrewd eye of Franco Zeffirelli, plus the canny intellect of producer -researcher Vincenzo Labella, all of the strings somehow were pulled cohesively together and filming of Jesus of Nazareth began on September 29,1975, in the tiny village of Fertassa, Morocco. Franco Zeffirelli, heading an enormous cast and company in Morocco of 116 (there were an additional 50 working in Tunisia at the same time), settled in at the Hotels Transatlantique and Rif for a two-month-long shooting schedule. Scenes of Mary and Joseph's flight from Herod were filmed in the dusty hamlet of Fertassa, which hadn't changed since Biblical times. It was a perfect replica of Nazareth in Zeffirelli's eyes. He hired hundreds of locals from the age of two to 80 as members of his cast. The visit of the film company marked the first time the people of Fertassa had ever seen electric lights in their town. Not far from Sousse, Zeffirelli came upon the ruins of a oncebeautiful Roman amphitheatre a perfect and remote spot to film the scenes of Christ in Gethsemene, Judas's kiss and the arrest of Jesus. Other Tunisian locales included Ichkeul, Tozeur, Kairoan, Djerba and there were two weeks of interior scenes in Rome.

M acNamee has turned into something of a glamour boy on the circuit as well as being the second half of one of the most dynamic and successful doubles teams seen in Australia since the days of Hoad / Rosewall. His doubles partner is Peter MacNamara and they delighted the Australian fans. This week Peter Luck takes a good look at the man and his way of life. According to MacNamee, it's not all beer and skittles on the tough circuit, even though there's a lot of money to be won — if you're good enough. It's a jet-set world in the full sense of the word and MacNamee has taken to it like a duck to water. He is a friend and rival of Vitas Gerulaitus, a glamour boy himself. The cameras follow MacNamee from his place of residence wherever that might be throughout the world) to the practice courts and finally to the big games he has spent his life preparing for.
The rewards are great from a monetary point of view, but he never loses sight of the fact that he plays for Australia. The second half of the programme deals with The Hit Man. He is not a member of an underground terrorist team, neither is he the trigger man for the Mafia. His name is David Williamson, Australian playwright
extraordinaire. Williamson's hit plays have been performed throughout the length and breadth of Australia and he has had the pleasure of seeing some of them turned into motion pictures. His latest effort is to screenplay the story of Gallipoli into the movielength version. Being undertaken by entrepreneur Michael
Edgley, Gallipoli is said to be the most expensive motion picture ever made by Australians for Australia and later the w orld market. Williamson's other hits have included the political boozy Saturday night barbecue party Don's Party (made into a movie), The Club (also made into a movie) and The Removalists.

VITAL ROLE Being the vital link between the needy and the members of society is not everyone's cup of tea. But sympathy and action are w hat Mary Cogan, secretary of St Vincent de Paul Society, offers the needy when they phone through their problems.
By ANABEL GOMEZ
Bangalore, South India, was the birthplace of Mary Cogan (nee Middleton). Like all the other European children in India, Mary was sent "up to the hills" to attend the Presentation Convent in Kodaikana. A t that time her father was the superintendent of the Indian (Imperial) Police. His affiliation with the British military meant extensive travelling, and Mary spent her childhood on three continents: Africa, Europe and Asia. Her schooling was finished in St Mary's Abbey in Mill Hill, England. S he then attended a college of advanced education and got a business studies diploma. Personal assistant to a solicitor was Mary's first job. He persuaded her to start articles in law, but her family decided to come to Australia. A fter four years in Australia, in 1961 she married Charles. They have two teenage children. In 1967, Mary started work as office secretary at the St Vincent de Paul Society and she will remain in that capacity until "the day I die." She is a member of St Paul's parish, Mt Lawley, and has been a Majellan for four years.
Children need beds in which to sleep; shivering people need b lankets, so they can r id themselves of the cold that has buried i tself deep inside t hem; they need tables to be able to eat like human beings and c hairs on which to sit.

In 1979, WA held its first w eekend congress for members of the St Vincent de Paul Society. Special overseas guests delivered papers and the fraternalspirit thrived during this time. A well-organised and strongly-supported 1980 street appeal was also one of Mary's involvements, and the 1981 Poor Man's Mass held recently was a success in which Mary had a part to play. Mary sees her role as a help societies. She also is a among the Catholics to c ommunication link general information source live our faith by helping a between the society and for needy people. 1es fortunate neighbour. the outside world. She is "The difference between Helping the needy is a responsible for liaison our society and other prime motive for a between St Vincent de societies is that there is a member joining," Mary Paul and other emergency r eal spiritual motive said.

Not guilty, Julie, is our plea .... When making a retreat we usually remove ourselves completely from the world — but means different things to different people. retreat a Last week I attended along with thirteen young people — all members of the Catholic Parish Youth Movement — a three day retreat at North Beach with a difference. We met at the Retreat Centre on Tuesday evening and sat down to a magnificently prepared meal for which our full-timer, Brendon Weselman, had spent the afternoon slaving over a hot stove. From a hearty meal for the body we moved on to nourishment for the soul. In three small groups looked at the questions: "What is Holiness?" and "Whatis Spirituality?" With very little prompting from me the young people came up with the truth that spirituality was the way of achieving holiness, that every person be they bishop, religious or lay person is called to the one and same Holiness by God, but that each one of us takes a different road in order to achieve that same holiness. As the time together was a unique opportunity for prayer, the group decided to begin the next day with the eucharist before each one made a hurried exit from breakfast to go off to their particular day's work. Jo-Anne Malkovic went to her work as a laboratory assistant, Sam Carrello to a city hospital as a micro-biologist. Julie Quain headed for her branch of the bankin industry as a teller and Shane Brown to a nearby finance company office. Mary Rogers drove all the way from North Beach to Gosnells to do her clerical work in a chain store, and Lucia Britto to her secretarial work in a shipping c ompany. Chris Callus went teaching a class of boys at Trinity .while Sheena MacIntosh went to her work of caring for pre-school children at a day centre. Jo Vitale went to her chores as a houseworker for Centrecare Youth care and Sue Ryan, immediate past president of CPY, faced a day of leisure while w aiting to start her first "real" job as an occupational t herapist.
Willis & Elliott
The full time workers, Brendon Weselman had the rest of the day to worry about the evening meal, while Flora Casotti, Colin Allica and I set off to our youth work. That evening with a break to watch Father Menotti go through his television crisis with youth, we spent some time looking at the question of "What Lay Spirituality meant to Youth"? I talked about Vatican II's teaching on lay people learning to love God and man within the context of their working lives. I tried to relate office work, teaching, caring for homeless youth or working as a secretary to God's magnificent creation, the Holy Spirit's abiding loving presence and Jesus Christ's suffering and redemption. The young people warmed to many of these ideas. Even if they did not understand it all I am not worried, as this discovery cannot happen in one night. On the third and final evening a formal central team meeting of the Catholic Parish Youth movement ws held since all the participants on the retreat were CPY members. I take my hat off to thirteen young apostles who committed themselves to several hours of prayer, reflection and discussion after spending a full day at their jobs.

B roken propellers, faulty engines, navigational errors, bent and t orn hulls, personal injuries, and sheer exhaustion all take their toll, but the Avon Descent still maintains a surprisingly good safety record.

manned by 562 competitors, including entries from the Eastern States and an all-female team in a craft named `Sunuvabitch', attempted to beat the white water.
The race is certainly not one for the faint of heart. Danger lies around every corner in the form of hidden rocks and tree stumps, a sudden drop in water level, or an unexpected stretch of rapids. Only about half the entrants complete the race each year.
For the second consecutive week the scheduled final between the two St. Marys' teams has been washed out. It is hoped the matches will be concluded this weekend. The winter pennants start this Saturday. Five teams are entered in the men's A Grade, but unfortunately the ladies' A Grade did not attract enough entries. This was most regrettable because two teams were forced to drop out of the c ompetition, one of these being a new team in Star of the Sea. There are six teams in men's B Grade and five in ladies' B. The next executive meeting will be on Tuesday, July 7, at the home of Peter and Kerry Messer, 70 Conistan Way, Ferndale.

This week 15 million Australians have been askedin the census to state their religious denomination. In this timely article (Rev Dr) James M FitzPatrick, OMI, PhD,MA (Ed), DipFr, MACE, National Director of the Catholic Enquiry Centre, asks the question:
What makes a Christian or a Catholic?
What characterises a Catholic Christian? Some years ago in Australia, Catholics in the main were identifiable rather simplistically as those with Irish names, large families, no meat on Fridays. Whilst, of course, these were not of the essence of being Catholic, they were taken as such (sometimes even by Catholics). . Times have altered and these convenient, even trite, indicators are no longer sure or acceptable. We must look to those things which in essence make Catholics to be what they are. We could perhaps list baptism into the Catholic Church, acceptance of the dogmas of the Church, recognition of the role of the Pope, reception of the Sacraments etc. These are, of course, all part and parcel of the life of Catholic Christians, but I suggest that we could do well to examine the profile of a Catholic elaborated in 1978 at a meeting in New York, as an excellent springboard for an understanding of what it means to be a Catholic.
It has become increasingly frequent for people to say: "I'm not part of any Church, or attend one. I'm a Christian." At first blush, this may sound reasonable, and we may think that the person saying it has given an adequate statement of their religious stance. But is it really adequate? Is it a stance at all? I would often doubt that it is. It is, so many times, used as an apology, or a palliative. Frequently, it is a total "cop-out" shielding under a veneer of respectability.
STEPPING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
The following five features of Catholic life THE CHURCH AND THE KINGDOM which emanated from a meeting in New York We are not just dealing with semantics here, for these are certainly ideals but they are also realities terms have an underlying reality which they must within the bounds of the human condition. express.
