Mirrabooka, which has a marvellous reputation for support of Project Compassion over many years, donated $7,514, an increase of 45% over 1981. Monsignor Keating considers "the mentality built up in the parish over the years; adequate supplies of materials with an efficient and comprehensive distribution thereof, coupled with motivation by explanation of the rationale of Project Compassion" is responsible for the continued excellent response from the parish. Applecross, which has been almost doubling its annual contributions since 1979 came in with 58,500. Father O'Reilly stated: "Baskets were placed at the foot of the altar for the return of envelopes and parishioners were encouraged to use the baskets as part of their Mass offering." He also felt that the ongoing education of people to the needs of others was beginning to be effective. Other parishes substantially increasing their donations were Fremantle, Dianella and Joondanna. In each of these parishes the parish priest felt that the continued highlighting of Project Compassion by way of the weekly bulletin or by reminders through the homily was a most important factor. Father Dillon, of Scarborough, stated: "The parish council took over. John Grant handed out materials after each Mass during Lent. We also made full use of the priests kit." Osborne Park gave $3,755. Father Toop was overwhelmed by the response, considering that the parishioners were supporting a planned giving campaign for a new church to the tune of $1,000 a week. He felt "there was an increased awareness among people of the plight of others." The parish of Bedford/Inglewood increased their donation by 50% to $6,230. Father Petry said, "The parish has a permanent commitment to overseas aid projects through the family fast scheme and parishioners are very mssion minded." "The motivation is there and the parishioners are accustomed to giving." A list of all parish donations will be published in due course.
ments of the renewal have been adapted to apply to priestly life a nd commitment. The 1982 programme was accepted by the senate of priests as a follow-up to the 1980 sessions when all clergy of the archdiocese took part in three four -week programmes which covered renewal in the fields of theology, scripture, liturgy and spirituality. The present programme is the work of American Jesuit Father Chuck Gallagher who has been one of the leading advocates of the Marriage Encounter movement in the United States and who visited Australia in that role in 1975. In 1980 he came to present this new parish renewal programme to a group of priests which I ncluded several from Western Australia. Although there have been several other clergy presentations of the programme, Perth is the first place where it has been presented at a diocesan e vent. Several local parishes have already begun the p rogramme which involves up to 50 or more p arishioners going t hrough a tight programme of lectures, discussion and reflection from Friday evening to Sunday.

POPE OFFERS TO VISIT LEBANON IF IT WOULD HELP V ATICAN CITY (NC)—Pope John Paul 11 has offered to v isit Lebanon if it would help the cause of peace.
"I affirm here publicly that I would be will ing to go also, without delay, to t he martyred land of Lebanon, if that would be possible, for the cause of Peace," he said last Monday to m embers of the Roman Curia, the C hurch's central administratio n. Last Sunday, the pope grieved over w hat he called the martyrdom of the Lebanese capital of Beirut and asked f or a recognition of the rights of P alestinians and of all people involved in the current hostilities in
Lebanon. "I feel the pressing duty to renew the appeal to the entire Church and to those of good will to pray for Lebanon in the tragedy that is oppressing it," said the pope to about 35,000 visitors to St. Peter's square for his Sunday Angelus address. The pope has asked several times for an end to the heavy fighting. "The news reports and images that arrive from the martyred city of Beirut are terrifying," the pope said. "They move one to compassion for
the great number of victims and the immense destruction," added the pontiff, "and to worry for the threats of new and bloodier clashes if the proclaimed truce is not observed, and above all, if it is not transformed i nto a definitive cessation of hostilities. "Let us pray for the salvation of Lebanon and all its communities, who are called to live in concord and c ollaboration," said the pope. "Let us pray as well for the Palestinian people," he continued. "So that there is an end to their suffering and so that their rights are recognised, as is just for all the peoples of the region."

ALK to Ken and in short order you find yourself involved in a discussion on not only the subject of the interview but his four brothers — Dick, Peter, Neil and David — and parents Hope (nee Riley) and Bergin. I n war, peace and sport, the Kennedys provide a peerless example of family affinity.
We'll concentrate on Ken and let the others provide the waft and woof of the story's fabric. For the generation of which we write, South Perth was the tribal base. From their home at the corner of King Edward and Riverview streets, the brothers tramped through sand and trees to the old Como jetty where they learnt to swim. They had a bush setting for their childhood days. The scrub-covered area of the present R ichardson Park had a good tadpole swamp at one end, and Ken recollects that he saw the tram service to South Perth start and finish. There was no Wesley College, the mineral baths at the zoo were in full swing and businessmen used to ride the ferry home to lunch before the rats started to race round the treadmill of c ommerce.
South Perth early days
the club when it won its first premiership. Bergin became secretary-manager of the activities of developer Neil McNeil after whom McNeil Street in Peppermint Grove is named. When McNeil died Bergin set up as a freelance land and estate agent and in this capacity helped the Christian Brothers to sell the land they owned at Heathcoate. He was also secretary of the Helena Vale Race Club run by Paddy Connolly and the Perth representative of country racing clubs. Ken's mother, Hope Riley as she was, came to WA with her parents from Watervale in South Australia. Her father was a school teacher at Northam and later principal of the Cottesloe State School from 1901 to 1921. Hope's brothers went farming in the Trayning area where the Kennedy brothers spent

WA farmer Bob Menzies, later directed Australian and British artillery fire from the observation post on Point 29 with such deadly effect that he was awarded the Military Cross. Ken was brewing tea for the officer and the signaller when direct hits from German shells brought his little bunker down round his ears, but he escaped unhurt. All four members of the Australian party that relieved them at the post were killed by enemy fire. The regiment got as far as El Daba before being pulled back.

ICK, who was in charge of a gun, was the only one of the brothers in a position to be able to enjoy the Cairo sight-seeing that followed. Peter was in the 2 / 6th Australian General Hospital at Gaza with a shrapnel wound in the leg and Ken was hospitalised with a boil on the arm. They came back to Australia on the New A msterdam, trained on the Atherton Tablelands in Queensland and at Morotai and saw action for the last time at Tarakan in Borneo.
Enthusiasm for hockey Even the war could not quell Ken's enthusiasm for hockey. He was one of those responsible for forming the 2/7th team of which he was captain that won 48 of its 50 matches in the Middle East and on the Atherton Tablelands. Ken says that one of the highlights of his career as an accountant has been the help he has been able to extend to young people. He has enjoyed working with clients such as the WA pastoralist families — for example the Thompsons, the Sharpes, the De Pledge Ashtons and the Lee-Steeres. "I have been lucky." he concludes, "in the family I grew up with and in the many fine people with whom I've been associated. "My fervent hope now is that Australians don't forfeit the battling spirit and the originality that has always characterised them."

Pope John Paul 11 is not critical of policies, attitudes, ideas or anything else, but then it is written from the viewpoint that one doesn't criticise, or even seriously evaluate, the guest on the doorstep: on s miles, embraces, welcomes him. This is a smiling, embracing welcome of a book, with its many pho t ographs of what must now be the world's bestloved face. All the known facts about the Pope's childhood and youth, the German occupation, work in the stone quarry, acting, playwriting and poetry, skiing and other sports, are there. Few popes can have had the experiences as broadly based, and even the title of Ullathorne's memoirs, From Cabinboy lo Archbishop pales besides the life-history of the onetime one-breaker who became Pope.

Ji Authorized Biography by LordLongford
And there's the sad catalogue of loss — first and most terrible, the loss of his mother in early childhood; then in boyhood, of his only brother; and at 21, of his stern but much-loved father. The latter part of the life - - the papal part — is inevitably dealt with more in terms of journeys abroad, and of the terrible drama of the attempted assassination, than in terms of moral issues or of the complex problems of papal policy. The reservations of many about some of these things are barely touched upon; but this is understandable in a general book for the layman, including the nonCatholic. At the end there is a chapter on the history of Catholicism in Britain since the Reformation. which won't surprise Catholics but may make salutary reading for others; Lady Longford and the Duke of Norfolk contribute to it.
PILOTS SAVEI) GREAT BRITAL;HIS
Peter Hebblethwaite's book (dust cover below right) is a ddressed to the cognoscenti. It is good old-fashioned gossip — and none the worse for that, being shrewd, well-informed and lively — just the book that the solitary pilgram would have taken with him en route to the papal ceremonies in Britian. Taking the view that there must be more to papal trips beyond good old fashioned pastoral devotion, Hebblethwaite used the book to muse on whether there were special items coming up on the British agenda.
