Bishop is ESPERANCE FOLK the chief teacher
The bishop of a diocese is the chief pastor and therefore he is the principal teacher of the faith, Archbishop Goody told 70 Catholic primary school principals and religious coordinators at a conference last week.
"The bishop delegates principals and staff to teach education in faith in his name and so they are ultimately responsible and accountable to him for the success of religious education programmes," he said.
"Hence this gathering; hence the responsible position of my deputy, Father Gerard Holohan, director of religious education." Archbishop Goody said that it was his task to assist teachers as well and as much as he could and for that reason he had established a department of religious education which would assist and evaluate the teachers' performance. He said that he had also directed the development of guidelines for primary and secondary schools so that teachers would know what they were supposed to be teaching. Archdiocesan resources were subsidising the levy from school funds for the support of the Catholic Pastoral Institute in the religious training of teachers. "Naturally, our material resources are limited — always — but you teachers are our best and most valuable resource. "It depends on you, more than on any other person, to make y ours a truly Catholic school, by the standard of its religious teaching and by the way the school community acts and lives out that teaching. "St Augustine said: 'Be yourselves what you teach' " Archbishop Goody urged the principals to make sure that the decisions regarding the use of resources truly reflected the purposes and priorities of the Catholic education system. He repeated a concern he had expressed to the Catholic secondary school religious education conference in July last year: "I am concerned at the inability ot many students to recall the fundamentals of the teachings of our faith. I am concerned not merely with learning by rote or by heart but with the ability to r ecall what they have learnt — and that may be the same thing. "No student can be considered educated in the faith if he or she cannot recall the fundamentals of the faith. "Just as a student cannot be considered to be educated in mathematics if he or she cannot recall the multiplication tables, or history without facts and dates, or physics without formulae, or reading and writing without grammar and spelling, so a student cannot be considered to be educated in the faith if he or she cannot recall fundamental truths about the commandments, the sacraments and the many other basic beliefs that emerge from the Word of God. "Where the content of religious education is concerned, make sure that you present to your students the faith as taught by the Church and not the speculations which are appropriate to the reflections of professional theologians."
ORDINATION TENSIONS LONDON (NC) — Tensions within the Church of England over the ordination of women came to the surface again after three Anglican bishops received Communion from a woman priest who had been ordained in New Zealand during the annual conference of the Movement for the Ordination of Women. The celebrant was the Reverend Janet Crawford, who is s tudying at Yale Divinity School. Eucharists celebrated by Anglican women priests ordained outside England are looked on with disfavour by authorities of t he Church of England, which does not allow ordination of w omen in England. In parish churches eucharistic celebrations conducted by a w oman are illegal, but private celebrations have been allowed. The Church of England's General Synod has rejected suggestions that women priests ordained abroad should be allowed to officiate in England, but the question is scheduled to come up again when the synod meets in July. On the agenda is .a motion asking for special permission for such women Priests to celebrate in England on special occasions.

There are a lot of happy people in Esperance at the moment but none moreso than the parish priest, Father Pat Rooney (pictured above), who has led his community through the exercise of building a new church, presbytery and convent complex which was blessed and opened by Bishop McKeon on April 26. The building cost $500,000 of which $220,000 was offset by the sale of church land in Dempster Street and the Esplanade. The parish is committed to finding the balance. (See story Page 2).;

Papal warning on moral decline

VATICAN CITY (NC) — Pope John Paul ll warned a visiting group of French bishops against a decline in moral values, a weakening of people's awareness of sin and laxity in Catholic BILBAO, Spain (NC) — A court invoked economic hardship in acquiting nine confessional practices.

he case of the "Bilbao I ! " has been in the news for three years. Mrs Garcia, 48, was charged with Performing abortions on the nine women, her d aughte r i between 1968 nc I ud ed , and 1976. One man arranging charged with the abortions was given a month in jail, which he served, There were protests by feminists all along.

The communist party follovved up by introducing a ,b,l11 in parliament to lega"se abortion, as most
countries in Europe have done. The bishops in Spain, an overwhelmingly Catholic country, have repeatedly opposed all attempts to legalise abortion. The court agreed with defence contentions that the women obtained abortions because of economic hardship and because they had no recourse to contraceptives, which at the time were illegal. Some of the defendants had three or four children. Since 1978 contraceptives have been available by prescription only. Mrs Garcia was given a sentence of 12 years and 10 months, although the prosecution had originally asked for a 60-year prison sentence. Feminist leaders say that some 300,000 abortions are performed every year on Spanish women, most of them abroad.
Spanish priest shot to death K AMPALA, Uganda (NC) — A 38-year old Spanish Priest was shot to death on April 20 in Uganda.
The priest, Father Osmundo Bilbao Garamendi, was driving a panel van along a road linking Kampala and Entebbe when a car containing three men with rifles pulled alongside and ordered him to stop. The priest instead accelerated and the man gave chase, shooting from the windows. A rifle bullet hit the priest in the back of the neck and he died instantly. Accompanying Father Bilbao in the van were another priest, Father Torquato Paolucci from Urbania, Italy, and a female Ugandan student. The deceased priest was a member of the Columban missionary order. He had worked in Uganda since 1971. In October 1980, as pastor in the city of Moyo, Father Bilbao had given testimony as an eyewitness to massacres inflicted by followers of Idi Amin, Uganda's former dictator.

E WAS an altar boy at St Patrick's Church until he was 18 and part of his duty in this capacity was to serve Mass at Fremantle prison. "Of the 50 or 60 who used to turn up to Mass there," he recollects, "Possibly only about 10 were Catholics. The remainder used to go to Mass because it was of shorter duration than the services of the o ther denominations and this gave them more free time which many of them used to occupy by yarning to the prison chaplain. "One of them once told the priest that he intended to escape that afternoon, and sure enough he did. "Receipt of this information put the priest in a dilemma. He finally decided not to forewarn the authorities because he felt that the man had Spoken to him in a confidentiality akin to that of the confessional — and besides he doubted whether the p risoner was serious in his stated intention."

R VINCENT (Vin) Whitely, a leading light of St Thomas' parish at Claremont, was born at Fremantle on January 22, 1903. He started school at St Joseph's convent in Parry Street and completed his education at CBC Fremantle where his c ontemporaries included Bill Wallwork, afterwards a magistrate; Jock Hetherington, who was to become principal of the Graylands Teachers' College; and Jack Gabbedy, who retired as a commissioner of the R and I Bank. His first job was in the office of Elder Smith and Co at Fremantle but he soon entered the building trade as a bricklayer. Vin and his late wife Edna (nee Heston) had four sons, three of whom entered the religious life. Barry is the parish priest at Hamersley; Reg is a Christian Brother at Trinity College; Lynn died as a Columban priest in Chile; and Michael is a proof-reader at West Australian Newspapers. Vin was a foundation member of the parish council at Claremont, played a prominent role in having the new church, presbytery and school built there and is among the team of men who sell The Record. He was an original member of the St Mary's Cathedral choir when it took its new form under the direction of the late Father Albert Lynch and his sons later became members of the choir after winning singing scholarships to C BC Terrace. matism with virtuosity, and Vin was Before the intermission it became obvious to the sensitive Albert launched onto a long path of amateur comedy. Lynch that the performers were "running out of steam" and he St Cecilia's Choir it was called appealed urgently to Vin to go onto when it moved into the loft of St the stage and "put on some sort of a Mary's Cathedral and numbered turn". among its singers bass Joe Savage Vin, who already had something of and tenor Laurie Noonan — though an unofficial reputation as a funny perhaps they might have come a litman, obliged and nearly brought the tle later.
The Whitely sons displayed musical talent too and they won choir scholarships to CBC Terrace. Before this, of course, the Depression clouds had moved in over Vin the builder and he had given his betrothed and beloved Edna the option of postponing the marriage, an alternative she courageously chose to ignore. "They were hard days," he reflects. "We managed to scrape together enough money to meet the mortgage repayments on the house every three months. "The occasional building job cropped up just at the death-knock. "A bank manager who had derided our neighbour for being lazy finished up within a month of delivery of his castigation cracking stones on road construction on Stirling Highway; university professors were lumping wheat on the Fremantle wharves for seven shillings a week and glad to get the money; I would do anything honest to earn a few bob." As Depression pressure was faintly beginning to ease, Vin worked in the buiding business at Wyndham and other parts of the North for three years with only occasional visits south to his wife and young family. Almost immediately after the outbreak of World War II, the Navy twice offered the reservist a commission — and on both occasions he refused it. In 1940 instead he joined the Army as a wireless mechanic and initially, as a former yeoman of signals in the naval reserve, spent six months at Northam being taught what he already knew.
B
UT SERVICE life for him as a member of the Corps of Signals gained interest when he was posted to the tip of Cape York Peninsula as part of a unit that handled the signals from General MacArthur's field headquarters at Port Moresby. "Most of the traffic was highly classified and interesting," he says. "We received messages and put them on telex for transmission south." Among the friendships he developed at this northern-most tip of Austrlia was one with an Australian general who used to share altar-boy duties with him.
"There's no doubt about it," he observes, "the Catholic faith is a great leveller — you're all the same at Mass." On his discharge in 1945 he severed his long-standing participation in the building business and joined the old PMG as a technician. There he remained until his retirement in 1968, having acquired the nickname of "Doc" through his comedy turns at social functions. Vin harks back to the days of Father Masterson as parish priest at Claremont. He used to say Mass in a schoolhall and lived in a temporary presbytery well removed from it. With a view to building a church, he called a meeting of the Hly Name Society and seven members — including Vin — turned up. The priest outlined his idea of building the church on a vacant block on Stirling Highway, but Vin rejected the scheme by saying: "No. Put Christ on the hill." He was alluding to the present site of the church, but he had to battle to get his scheme across because the land on the highway was readily obtainable and cheaper to acquire than the block on which St Thomas' now stands. So the church was built, but it soon became too small.
I
T QUICKLY became apparent also that a new presbytery and school were required, but freshlyarrived parish priest Father McCormack was reluctant to commit his parishioners to the debt burden. Finally he was prevailed upon to accept it as well as the cost of additions to the church. When all these works were completed, he was delighted with the result. However, he used to say: "A parish is not judged on these sort of things or on the money the collections and fund drives turn up, but on the number of vocations in the parish — and I've had none." This must have acted as some sort of a spur because Barry, the son of Vin and Edna, was the first of the era to enter a seminary. The event was the opening of a flood-gate and Vin today is proud to report that the Claremont parish holds the current record for the number of vocations. It is a record to which the Whitely famiy has proudly contributed.

While completing her nursing training at St. John's, Subiaco Cathy joined the local YCW group. She became a regular and committed member.
Over two years' ago at the invitation of the Bunbury priests, Cathy accepted the challenge to work full-time for the YCW movement in Bunbury. She became the first Bunbury full-timer after a break of more than 10 years. Initially, Cathy planned to work just for 6 months. A prior

Learning about a legend from Australia's Past
Eureka Stockade, by Alan Boardman and Roland Harvey, published by William Collins Pty. Ltd., $9.95. Reviewed by Roslyn Ross.
. This book gives children Just a quick look at one of t he more hist oric moments of our past. The Eureka Stockade represented much more than just a battle between 'inners and Government but naturally the book doesn'I go into that. It does however, give young People a simple and tale of what L1 haPpened. In 1854 men from all over the worldflocked to Ballaarat (as it was then
spelled) to seek their fortunes. But life on the goldfields was harsh and in the face of what they regarded as oppressive and unfair government measures the miners formed the Ballaarat Reform League to fight for improved rights and conditions. Thus began the legend of the Eureka Stockade — one of the most sigMficant events in Australian history. This is thefirst in
a series of Australian History Topics to be produced by The Five Mile Press. A lan Boardman, the author, has been involved in the editorial and managerial side of publishing for many years and, in this book, skilfully turns his hand to writing for children. A lan lives on a farm outside Melbourne with his wife, several children, assorted horses, dogs, cats, chooks and a cow.
The illustrator, Roland Harvey, originally set out to be an architect but lack of architectural work and an increase in illustrative work ledhim into becoming a full-time illustrator. He is currently working on several books and is producing greeting cards, stationery, posters and wrapping paper with a distinctly Australian flavour. He lives in Melbourne and spends a lot of his time in the mountains.

Monsignor Richard Stewart (pictured left) for the past three and a half years has been a staff member of the Vatican Secretariate for the Promotion of Christian Unity. His main fields of interest are the dialogue between the Roman Catholic and Anglican and Methodist churches. He is also the contact person for national ecumenical committees.
