LEARNING Laundry case CHOICE has an echo
A reader of the past three issues of The Record would be remarkably unperceptive if he had not noticed an unusual amount of clergy transfer and appointment, culminating in this week's ordinations. A superficial impression would be of a certain amount of healthy vigour on the priesthood scene which is generally clouded by gloomy reports of shortages. A close reading, however, would reveal that it has been merely a fine balancing exercise of a system that is perilously close to being overstrained, at least for parish appointments. In Perth archdiocese, appointments to Claremont and Manning merely replace priests who died in office during 1981. Father Chiera's ordination for Bunbury diocese merely balances the vacancy caused by the death of the parish priest of Mount Barker last year.

None of the deceased priests were exactly young. With a combination of priestly faith and doggedness they were probably determined to stay on as active priests long after others wonder what to do with the leisure time of enforced retirement. All the priests had started their careers when every second parish boasted one or two assistants. They died at a time when most ageing priests don't stand a chance of support from a younger assistant even if they want one. The three deceased were part of a large Irish contingent fed into Western Australia when a severe shortage of priests would have stifled expansion for decades. They were introduced without fanfare to a WA Catholic public lulled into thinking that the foremost prerequisite for a priestly vocation was to be an Irishman prepared to leave his shores. Age analyses are felt to be often a threatening invasion of personal privacy so the public, let alone the clergy themselves, often prefer not to notice the heavy loading in the older groups. Yet the signs are good. Young men are moving through St. Charles' Seminary to f urther training. At Waroona, a parish dedicated by earlier Irish enthusiasts to St. Patrick saw thousands of predominantly Italians honour one of their sons becoming an Australian priest. At Queens Park, the 20th century Irishmen who recharged the ailing 1000 year old Norbertine order are seeing seeds mature in Australian soil. Priesthood is a call. In the flesh it is a call from a bishop, to train study, pray and ask for ordination. In the heart it is a call from Christ, from His Body. It is time now for His Body, the Catholic men and women of Western Australia, to make that voice of Christ their own call to their rising sons that the Church needs priests. Then Jesus will send labourers into the harvest. • V/////////

WASHINGTON (NC) — A man who police said has a history of posing as a priest at disaster scenes was arrested in Washington three days after an Air Florida jetliner crashed into the Potomac R iver, killing 78 persons. The man William W. Emlinger, 37, was spotted on national television wearing a clerical collar the night of the crash at a hotel near Washington where families of the victims had gathered. A police officer in Trenton N.J., where Emlinger was wanted for questioning, saw Emlinger while watching televised reports on the crash. Emlinger a fugitive from a federal penitentiary identified himself at the hotel as Father Michael R yan of San Diego. The San Diego Diocese has no record of a Father Michael Ryan. Emlinger "has a history of showing up at disaster scenes," said Sgt. Rosiland Parker of the District police. "He gains the confidence of the relatives and later burglarises their houses."
The warning came in an a ddress Jan. 28 to members of the Sacred Roman Rota, the church's main court of appeals, which deals primarily with marriage cases coming from diocesan church courts.

KSC village is named for Mr Tom Perrott The third of the Knights of the Southern Cross retirement villages is to be known as the Thomas Perrott Village.
At the first meeting of the KSC board of management meeting for 1982 the members unanimously decided to name the Rossmoyne village after Mr Tom Perrott (pictured below) the current chairman who has been a Knight since 1948.
Other KSC retirement villages are the B.P. Prindiville Village of 28 units established at North Perth in 1969 and the Taylor Dallimore Village of 16 units at Embleton established in 1974. The Rossmoyne project of $3 million will be the largest village so far and will e ventually include 45 home units, a 44-bed hostel, a day-care centre and a future nursing home. The first 12 units have all been sold and occupied and a second group of units is under construction and will be ready for occupancy in June.

"Are you a f ollower of Jesus?"
Musician Fania Fenelon was one of the lucky few who survived Hitler's death camps simply because she was able to provide musical entertainment for the S.S. guards. Her story is told in a movie for television titled Playing for Time, at 8.35pm Tuesday on Channel Nine. This story is about survival. It is also about dignity, morality, and racism. It is a raw, compelling, stark portrayal of life under the Nazi regime in Auschwitz where most died, many went mad, and a few survived. This is the story of some of the survivors.

A NEED FOR MORE THAN LIP SERVICE Being a follower of Christ in today's world involved more than just paying lip service to God, according to the keynote speakers at the recent Catholic Charismatic Renewal conference held at the Perth Concert Hall. New York priest Father Tom Forrest (pictured above) and layman Kevin Horgan spelt out clearly in a series of talks the requirements needed to become true disciples.
AL TAPE ORDERS WILL BE SENT ,ON RECEIPT OF PAYMENT
In a challenging opening address "Are you a follower of Jesus," Father Forrest said Christians had to realise their true identity as sons and daughters of the Father. It was not good enough just to fulfil a Sunday obligation and feel satisfied as a Christian. The call to discipleship — which was the conference theme — was not a onceonly offer to the first apostles by Jesus Christ. Christ came to give us a perfect r elationship with the Father and to comO PTOMETRISTS mission us to spread the Good News. 76 Scarborough Beach Road — Phone 444 3543 Father Forrest said our response !30 liannan Street, Kalgoorlie — Phone 21 2795 should not be: "I'll get around to it sometime" but rather respond as Samuel did: H.F.

The Daughters of Charity The practical means of achieving this NEED YOUR HELP were given in a talk by Mr Horgan, "A personal relationship with God." c.r their work for the development of the underprivileged Mr Horgan said the first requirement in changing our lives for God was to have URGENTLY NEEDED a personal relationship with Him in daily prayer.

Mr Horgan also spoke on the call to discipleship for the people of Perth, presenting a Scriptural account of what God is saying to each one of us today. Apart from the strong call to look at ourselves to see how we are responding to God's Word, Father Forrest gave an enlightening talk on healing, which he said was required in order for us to live as brothers and sisters. He said praying for healing should be done "expectantly" without involving "ifs" on every occasion. We exhort God in faith believing what we ask for is done. If we know it is the Lord's will then we proclaim it done. If we are unsure of the Lord's will then we can say "if it be thy will." Father Forrest said the power to be mountain movers existed in each one of us. And we should look to ourselves first to remove our mountains — mountains of fear, of sin, of despair, etc. . Father Forrest's final address on the, sin of selfishness gave many reasons why people stop short in going "all the way" for God. He described selfishness as the root of all evil, pointing out that it was the instigator of original sin. He said there was a need by all people to recognise their areas of selfishness and bring them under the light of Christ to be freed from them.

We are blest with zealous religious education teachers who are doing a difficult and generally thankless task. We all know of seasoned teachers who dread teaching religious education, and yet they do so because they love God and the children in their classes. Their role is lonely, and often they can't get moral support from people from whom they are entitled to see it — FATHER HOLOHAN.
