Children who resist the call to faith in adolescence because experience has caused them to harden their hearts must receive special concern and attention Archbishop Goody told a big congregation of catechists in St Mary's Cathedral. "Perhaps they have parents who do not value God or his Church; perhaps they will not have had real experiences of love; perhaps they have been treated badly, or even been scandalised by someone who claims to be a person of faith. Archbishop Goody was delivering an address to hundreds of catechists who have completed a course for accreditation in government schools. Next Sunday they will be presented with their certificates during Mass in their parish churches. "Try to open the hearts of these children, so that they will be able to hear the call to Faith, and give them the experience of someone who — like God — loves and takes an interest in them," Archbishop Goody continued. "Always bear in mind that you may be the only person the children in your class hear speak of the things of God. Give to these children generously of your time, your understanding, your interest, and even of your willing forgiveness. "I realise, my dear friends, that the ideals I am speaking of are difficult to put into practice, especially in schools that often fail to a ppreciate your presence. I realise that you will experience discouragement and even, perhaps, despair about the value of your efforts.
"This is why, like St Paul, 'I give thanks to God every time I think of you...for the way that you have all continually helped to promote the Gospel'.Iam certain that 'he who has begun this good work in you will carry it through to completion' (cf Phil 1, 3-6). "Be careful to remember the promise of Jesus, 'I will be with you always' (Mtt 28,20). He will be with you when you are preparing your lessons, and when you face a discouraging principal. He will be with you when your classes go badly, and especially when you feel totally alone. "Do not try to measure your success. Instead, remember that if you are called to plant or to water the seed that is God's Word in the hearts of your students, it is God himself who will provide the increase (1 Cor 3,6). When you feel despondent about your students' reactions to your lessons, think on Jesus words: 'If anyone declares himself for me in the presence of men, I will declare myself for him in the presence of My Father in Heaven' (Mtt 10,32). "In your classes, you will meet children, also, who you will not be able to Catechise, for they will not have made that initial act of faith which we call 'conversion'. "These children must be of special concern to you as you try to Evangelise them —which means leading them to the act of conversion by your example, by class prayer, and by your explanations.
Parents promote vocation choice
A fter a special catechists' Mass in St Mary's Cathedral on Tuesday night Archbishop Goody presented priests with the certificates which will be distributed at parish Masses this Sunday. To the right of Archbishop Goody is Father Gerard Holohan, director of religious education.

"CALL TO LIFE TO RECEIVE IT AND TO GIVE IT"... V ATICAN CITY (NC) — "A vocation is a call to life, to receive it and to give it," Pope John Paul 11 said in his message for the 19th World Day of Prayer for Vocations.
Jesus has revealed the essence of the Christian vocation, which is "being called to offer one's life so that others may have life and have it abundantly," the pope said in his message. "This is what must be done by every man or woman who is called to follow Christ in total self -giving." In his remarks cited in the Carrying on the mission tion — religious, secular or must be understood, Gospel for May 2, the instituted by Christ, "the missionary — are for giv- accepted and lived as an intimate sharing in this Fourth Sunday of Easter, Church is born to live and ing life," he said.

The surge of activity on the catechist front should not create an impression that nothing has been happening till now. On the other hand the activity in the parishes this weekend should point to some fundamental new trends that are about to emerge. The recent eight week training programme was only a slightly more publicised version of an exercise that has been taking place at the commencement of the last 1 2 years or more. Its urgency arose not from a pressing need of training Catholic catechists so much as the Education Department requiring assurance that catechists being accredited to their system are being trained and monitored. It is a race in which the Catholic Church started far behind the line and has performed more than creditably, but there is no time to rest on laurels. The weekly visits to state schools that were performed mostly by clergy generations ago were not instituted to assuage Catholic feelings. On the contrary it was part of a myth accepted by Anglican and Protestant churches of the day that a weekly bible appendage would be a suitable ornament to education. It is a tragic irony that in the past decade or so it has been those same churches which have largely abandoned the exercise as hopeless. In those early days only a handful of Catholics were likely to be at a state school if a Catholic alternative existed in the area. At superhuman cost the religious sisters and brothers managed to squeeze multitudes into every conceivable space that could be called a classroom. It was a valiant exercise that saved the day but it absolved Catholics of thinking that times could ever change. Thus in the 1950s it was a shock to the toughened strain of Australian Catholicism to find that the big number of post-war migrants were not attuned to the fee paying sacrifice of Catholic education. On the other hand a glance at the shipping lists or baptismal registers could have shown that the Catholic system was not going to cope even if it wanted. Thus there was a brief lull until the late 1 950s when the plight of large numbers of Catholics in the state schools began to be felt and the first tentative steps were made into those schools by armies of housewives who never believed they could do it. They were wrong and this weekend's parish ceremonies are a belated effort to make the rest of the Church wake up to what has been going on unnoticed in the shadow of the more glamorous Catholic system. Like their early religious counterparts these catechists of the past two decades have gone far towards saving the day by giving those children the primitive faith that they are part of Christ and His Church. We are al l the victims of the secularism that has forced its way into society. The leaching away of religion from the state school system was going on despite weekly visits or the curious end-of -term high school seminars that were about as palatable as health innoculations. The Nott Report and its consequent curriculum is no more than a nice way of saying in professional language that the children may, if fortunate, learn something about religion, but they are going to hear nothing about faith a s real men and women understand that word. It will take time for that message to sink in with the parents of state school children who are the more likely, but by no means unmatched by Catholic school parents, to be out of touch with the Church or Sunday Mass. The time has come for parishes to clarify their goals on spreading the gospel. This will require first of all a survey of the Catholic school effort and an appreciation of the curriculum moves being made by the Catholic Education Office. It will require teachers and administrators to have no doubts that the Catholic Church is not on an academic exercise to defend the independent school system but that the sacrifices made by parents mean what they say when it comes to seeing concrete Catholic and Christian education for their children. It requires the parish to stop thinking that the faceless catechists who have worked so hard are not well meaning amateurs stumbling in the dark but are a vital force for whom f unds, and facilities have to be provided in a new wave of parish evangelism. 4 The Record, April 29 -May 5, 1982
Community life, a human touch and a certain humanity recognised by the people who work with them are the characteristics of the Salvatorian community according to a provincial council member who is visiting Perth.
Father Desmond Cantwell lives at Watford North London from where the British province of the Salvatorian congregati directs its 80 members who are serving in England, Australia and East Africa. World wide there are some 2000 Salvatorians.
Father Cantwell is on a month's visit to Perth "to reassure the local Salvatorians, if they need re-assuring, of our concern for them here in Australia." The Salvatorians arrived in WA in 1961 as a team of two priests and a brother. Today there are eight Salvatorian priests in WA and ninth is to come in November. Father Cantwell went last weekend to the opening of Esperance church where already two Salvatorians are working in the parish in anticipation of the congregation taking over the parish in April next year. Father Cantwell's purpose also is to conduct a week's workshop on the new constitution of the Salvatorian congregation which was founded in Rome just 100 years ago by Father Francis Jordan. The aim of the congregation is to announce Jesus Christ as Saviour and this is done in parish, school and other missionary work.

Family in the Modern World. Love is therefore the fundamental and innate vocation of every human being. As an incarnate spirit, that is a soul which expresses itself in a body and a body informed by an immortal spirit, man is called to love in his unified totality. Love includes the human body, and the body is made a sharer in spiritual love. Christian revelation recognises two specific ways of realising the vocation of the human person, in its entirety, to love: marriage and virginity or celibacy. Either one is, in its own proper form, an actuation of the most profound truth of man, of his being "created in the image of God".

Joe's trek to learning THE path of early learning for Joe
S tokes was the four-mile trek from the family's Cunderdin farm to the little one-teacher school at Waeel. Aunt Agnes Sharkey, his mother's sister, was the
teacher and she used to pick young Joe up in her sulky
every morning and deliver him home again in the a fternoon. Slip of a woman though she was, Aunt Agnes was to have a big influence on Joe's career. Her skill as a mentor and the child's natural ability resulted in his winning a scholarship to Northam High School from which he matriculated in 1935, but his ambition to become a teacher almost foundered on the rocks of the Depression.

The Governor referred to the early years of the college which however, were not marked by such large-scale expansion. While the original De La Salle Brothers evidently enjoyed their teaching and community links with Midland and the Swan Valley, the early 1970's saw the withdrawal of the De La Salle Brothers from Perth. A rrangements were then made by the Christian Brothers, the Sisters of Mercy and the Sisters of St Joseph to provide staff for the college.

However, when a plumber (Ivar Kants), who preys on bored housewives, calls to make repairs, she little realises that her problems have only just begun.
Breakdown
The sensitive Australian film Break of Day provides .young Australian actor Andrew MacFarlane with the perfect vehicle for his entry onto the big screen. Co-incidentally, Ingrid Mason, the attractive young German girl from The Sullivans again plays his wife in this heart-rending drama set in a small Victorian goldming town just after the 1914-1918 war. Break of Day is Channel Nine's Tuesday movie at 9.35pm. Tom Cooper (Andrew McFarlane) returns from Gallipoli with a leg injury which restricts his movement and a mental scar which causes a communication breakdown between himself and his wife Beth (Ingrid Mason).

The leaders of the movement see as their new challenge the encouragement of specific activities in parish youth groups that will deepen the spirituality of individuals. The leaders also hope to provide programmes for youth groups at different stages of d evelopment to encourage their continued growth. Our time together at Eagle's Nest was a great success because before any business matters were discussed, individuals tabled their "hidden agendas". That is,
Eleven leaders of the C atholic Parish Youth Movement and myself recently spent a weekend at Eagle's Nest, the new youth formation centre taking a long hard look at o urselves and the work of CPY in the Archdiocese of Perth. CPY is a local diocesan movement which is unique in Australia and I believe, the whole world.

ERONICA Dymond lives a life on the move. Her husband's work as an electrical engineer for a firm of consultant engineers has brought brief stays in Fiji, Karratha, Darwin and now Bougainville. Facing up to whatever life throws her way and making the most of it has seen h er wholeheartedly involved in parish and Marriage Encounter work wherever she happens to be. She and husband, Peter, are currently State Coordinators for Marriage Encounter, working in Western Australia and the N orthern Territory. A former president of her local parish council, she is also avidly interested in parish renewal.
H
USBAND, Peter, came on the * scene during this time. He also * worked for the Commission and 12 * months after meeting they were mar* red and had moved back to Man* chester. The house was soon full of * little Dymonds — Richard was born * in 1960, Helen in 1961, Mark in 1963 * and Andrew in 1967. In January of 1969 the family took a big step and emigrated to Australia. The move was prompted by young Richard's asthma and the political and economic situation in England. They headed straight for the leafy slopes of Kalamunda and there have been no regrets.
There's a cosy feel about the Dymond house . .. the 'house that Peter built.' It started as a four-room cottage and over the years has spread its wings and settled in among the trees. It was simple living when the Dymonds arrived. "Andrew was in nappies and the hot water had to be wood-fire heated. Gathering twigs in the garden was too much like hard work so Peter decided to put in a hot water system . . . after that he just sort of built the house around it," Veronica said.
Starting with the basics and building on is very much a way of life for the Dymonds. In their tender care anything and everything tends to grow and flourish. Trained as a pre-school teacher in England, Veronica began working at the local kindergarten on a parttime basis in 1972. It soon grew to full-time and in 1980 she ran out of time and gave it up to concentrate on her church work. Yes, she says, theirs is a 'church conscious' household, in fact the parish was formed in their living room. But, it has always been a way of life . . . as a child and now. There has been Children of Mary, Legion of Mary and church choirs; ladies auxiliary, P&F, mother's club and tuckshop at St. Brigid's, Mary's Mount, and Trinity; time spent on the Holy Family Parish Council at Kalamunda and a 12 month stint as council president from 1975-76 and .of course, Marriage Encounter.
T
HE Dymonds became involved in Marriage Encounter in 1977 and are currently State Co-ordinators with Father Bob Carden. The three share overall responsibility for all Marriage Encounter programs. They've turned over a tiny front room to ME as an office and they've turned over a lot of their time to ME in a bid to reach more marriages. "Marriage Encounter aims to strengthen marriage," Veronica said. "It is not corrective, it is preventitive and seeks to increase and improve communication through residential private weekends. "Around 16,000 people have done the course in Australia. It really aims at those who have a good marriage but want to make it better. It is not meant to aid those who have marriages in crisis, that is the job of marriage guidance." Marriage Encounter weekends are held every six weeks, usually at the North Perth Monastery or Vic Park Retreat House. Numbers are kept to around 15 couples and interest is generally stimulated by 'word of mouth.' For the Dymonds, the group has become a commitment and a c hallenge.
"Peter and I are working almost full-time. on it now," Veronica said. "In fact, Peter has given over one day a week.

ARRIED to man who moves frequently with his work she's ready to make the most of anything that life throws her way. Nine months in K arratha during 1978 saw her very involved in local parish work, three Marriage Encounter weekends and a program for parents. Then came two months in Darwin and five months in Fiji and now it's four months in Bougainville.
Despite the demands of Marriage Encounter Veronica has still found the time to look around and see other needs. She was involved in the formation of a unique community help group at Kalamunda, Someone Cares. Set up in 1979, the group developed from a church body to become a Shire-based movement which helps those in need. "The group was formed to help in a practical sense," Veronica said. "Anything from transporting the aged to caring for families. In one instance, two women have been caring for a family of three little child-

SISTER DIES
Sister Mary Aquin O'Connor, who died suddenly at the age of 51, had given 34 years of her life as a Sister of St John of God. Following her arrival in Australia in 1953 she worked at hospitals in S ubiaco, Ballarat, Geraldton and Rivervale where she died on April 1 5. In a tribute, Sister Martha Forde, provincial superior of the congregation said: "People who knew Sister Aquin are unanimous in declaring that caring was her outstanding quality. She cared for all. "She cared especially for people with any kind of need. Her help was readily available — be it material, sympathetic support, or the need to call people to the fullness of living.
"She did it all with conviction and strength and she did it in love. "Her fellow -religious readily agree that Sister Aquin made her very own the article in their Constitutions which states, 'Make hospitality your special care." Sister Aquin is survived by her father, brother and sister.

ERESA OF AVILA was a great saint, a doctor of the Church, a mystic. . . and belonged to the 16th century, What has she to offer to us of the late 20th century? What would Teresa even know of our great curiosity in science, of our vanity andperhaps arrogance in our knowledge? What would she know of the open,perhaps the worldly life, that many religious face? Would she be aware of laxity in religious life, of undesirable friendships. . . even of good friendships? Would she understand the pain one endures in leaving one's family to enter the convent? Would she appreciate our motivation, our struggle to remain faithful, our failure to keep our promises to God, our lack of care in avoiding gossiping and the many occasions of sin? Had she any problems of health to face, any desires for better health and the overcoming of a paralytic condition? Had she any difficulties in praying, especially with mentalprayer, or didit all come to her so easily? Did Teresa ever meet any fellow human being in real trouble. . . a priest or a religious? Did she know the meaning of conversion? Let us now meet Teresa in Avila and read something of the story of her life. After that, we may say that she seems to have experienced the lot. We may even say 'if you are in any trouble, ask Teresa'.
