Benedictines slam bias of media The Superior of the Benedictine Order has lashed out at what he calls "disgraceful journalism", press abuse and 'slant' in relation to monastery affairs.

The two hotspots which the media has highlighted in the past year or two have been the Benedictine Mission at Kalum buru and the sale of the adjacent Carson River Station for $600,000.

The Record, _Jksly 29 — August 4, 1982

Record Bishop Quinn's departure this week to take over the see of Bunbury carries with it the good wishes from the archdiocese of Perth to the filial diocese of Bunbury now close to 28 years of age and entering a new and third phase of progress. One could mis-read the process by which the three bishops of Bunbury have appeared to move from the metropolitan area to the south as some sort of inevitable centralist paternalism. On the contrary, the diocese of Bunbury came into existence in the hope that people would not concentrate into the metropolitan area but that the towns and cities of the South West would see rapid growth in the decades after the war. With that in mind the late Archbishop Prendiville wanted to ensure that the area got close episcopal encouragement in the wake of the network of schools and churches that he had launched in the previous decade. The church does not have within its means the power to steer the population tide and one can only lament the ebb of Catholics from some of the smaller centres and parishes, not only in the diocese of Bunbury but also in the country areas of the archdiocese of Perth. Meanwhile the diocese of Geraldton struggles to find sufficient clergy and religious personnel to cope with an instant population boom that has turned the diocese upside down from the sparse groupings of farmers and miners in the south. Geraldton in fact has many lessons to teach the church in Western Australia and indeed Australia. It would be fine rhetoric to be able to say that Bishop Quinn, a pioneer of St. Charles' Seminary, represents a kind of coming-of-age for the local West Australian church to be seeing its generations rising to take responsibility for the future direction of the church. Not so. Twelve months ago Bishop Foley scored as the first of the former Guildford seminary students to reach full episcopal office in W A. Yet even that event pales against the fact that Western Australia was well ahead of Australian times when in 1898 the priest William Kelly, born in York of Irish parents, became a local bishop of Geraldton and precisely because, in the view of Bishop Gibney, the scattered people of the north including the Aborigines were then needing closer episcopal care. Bishop Quinn, then, himself the son of an Irish immigrant parent, simply follows in the path of a story in which the faith has continued to prosper as people from elsewhere bring their gifts of Christian faith and plant them in new communities. He succeeds the first bishop of Bunbury who as a youth not only came from England to find a new country but also found a new Christian vision in the Catholic Church in which he has given a remarkable period of leadership both in Perth and Bunbury. The third bishop of Bunbury succeeds the second who is representative of the hundreds of Irishmen who migrated here and made Australia their second home either in priestly or religious service or in Catholic families that date back to the servant girls arriving in the last century. In Bunbury diocese the new bishop encounters not only the Irish roots of local Catholicism but also the significant Italian influence that spans many generations. It does the Catholic Church in Western Australia no harm from time to time to review its much neglected century and a half of history, not least by reading and re-reading the history compiled by Father D.F. Bourke happily back in our midst. An appreciation of the secular and economic forces that were at work in WA and affected the flow of Catholic migrants typically in the goldrush era will keep feet firmly on the ground in assessing what is happening in Australia today. On the other hand the thousands of Asians who are now solidly part of our parishes are a reminder that Christian faith is real only when it deliberately and consciously over-rides the barriers and suspicions that seek to intrude between people of differing national backgrounds. We want to hear nothing of the vitriolic rantings of self-consumed pressure groups which are exploiting both the media and some oncerespected organisations to push their racist barrows. St Paul told Christians where they stand: There is no Greek or Roman, Jew or Gentile. You are one in Christ.

The only forum for caring Catholics (Continued from Page 3)

Pointing out to the Knights that they are faced today with the problem of how to foster positive values in their lives, Monsignor O'Reilly cited the recent remarks of Archbishop Clancy of Canberra: " The Diocesan And of course they don't paper in particular is read the paper and boast ' virtual ly the only that they don't read it. medium of communi- Nevertheless they feel free to go on trenchantly criticcation within the dio- ising it. cese.'

An aduenture special

From the makers of A cross the Top comes the adventurous journey by pearling lugger and four wheel drive vehicle to the spectacular and forbidding Kimberley region of north-west Australia. Malcolm Douglas and David Oldmeadow recorded their amazing journey in which they encountered pearl divers, the Bardi A bori-

gines, the frenzy of sharks feeding, big game fishing, floods, the awe-inspiring beauty of northern rivers, gorges, waterfalls, mountains and clifflocked harbours. .All this is a combination of delicate beauty and rugged harshness in fascinating country which is truly different from other areas of A ustralia.

The special opens in Broome where Douglas and Oldmeadow get hold of a pearl lugger and travel around the Kimberley coastline. During this part of their journey, magnificent camera work shows the frenzy of feeding sharks, exciting big game fishing and catching of the huge mud crabs that abound in the mangrove

swamps in the area. There are scenes showing the beautiful gorges which can be seen from the decks of the pearl lugger on the open sea. The men then travel up the Prince Regent river and take time out for a leisurely fishing excursion. While they are hauling in their catch, it is devoured by sharks.

She is one of the athletes interviewed in the second Gold, Gold, Gold programme, which screens on Channel Two on Friday, August 6, at 9pm. Marjorie is seen iii action, winning the 100 ,ind 220 yards and relay events.

Malcolm Douglas proudly holds up two of the game fish caught in a scene from Follow The Sun.

The morality oi using nuclear weapons is questioned in What's Wrong With Nuclear Bombs?, an E veryman program screening on Channel Two on Thursday, August 5, at 10 pm. Last year the World Council of Churches summoned some of the world's leading theologians, together with experts in the field, to five days of public hearings in Amsterdam on the issues raised by the deployment of nuclear weapons. Military experts outlined what we can do with nuclear weapons; theologians debated what we should do. What moral and religious grounds are there for deciding that the d eployment of nuclear weapons is right or wrong?

Messages that must be said time again. •

In the beginning a new job is usually exciting, but the novelty soon wears off. A preacher finds himself saying much the same things over and over again each week. A teacher repeats the c urriculum year after year. k parent finds that bringing up their third or fourth child c an be just as demanding as the first....its just the novelty thas has disappeared. What was once unusual and new becomes ordinary and even tiresome. A weekly column I find suffers from similar problems yet I still believe that some things must be said over and over again in the hope that someone new will read and take up a challenge. About this time each year I remind parishes and Catholic schools to encourage a prayer support for those students preparing for their

tertiary admission examinations. I do not believe that prayer is just a magical solution for attaining a pass or high marks. In fact Cod will hardly help if one does not cooperate. On the other hand it is valid to pray that students heed the demands of teachers and prepare well for their exams. It is good to pra) that students listen to God's call in choosing their particular vocation in life, that students find suitable employment to answer that call. At 16 and 17 years of age, young people make very important decisions which will affect their whole life. I believe prayer is vital in helping with these decisions. In the past years St Norberts College Queens Park and CBC Fremantle have initiated prayer schemes to involve the school community in prayer support

Wonderful things are happening on the youth scene. In recent vveeks the YCW members of Leederville with the help of ,full time worker Tom 0'Regan, carried out a door knocking campaign visiting some 40 young workers in the parish. The aim was to make contact and issue a personal invitation to attend t he local group meeting. The CPY members of the northern suburbs held a training weekend last week. The entire weekend was devoted to study, prayer and nzeditation on the Eucharist. Chris Callus of Diane/la and Colin A llica CPY Full timer were among those instrumental in making it happen. The members of the YCS are looking foreward to the national visitation coming visit of Fr Gerry Gallagher in the coming weeks. S.

But 14 years later she found herself on an unmade *track, a widow at 41 with seven young children aged from 1 3 to eight months. Her husband, Pat, had died of heart disease at the age of 39. While the first two years had passed in a horrible haze, by 1970 she had decided to return to teaching. With the unflagging support of her children and mother she began to make a new life, pick up the shreds of a career and now, 12 years later is deputy principal of Governor Stirling High School, at West Midland. She's learned a lot over the years, often the hard way, but at 55, is more than happy. She loves her job — "Something different happens every day." — loves her kids — "they've turned out to be fairly normal," and has established a life she can meet on her own terms, and she likes it that way.

Busselton ORN in Nannup, in 1927, hei father, Charles 'Kelly' Merchant, was a teamster. The only daughter of three children, the family lived at • Claymore until the end of the 1920's • * and then moved to Busselton. She * and her brothers, Terry and Kevin, • * were educated by the St Joseph • Nuns and Hilary finished her schooling at Santa Maria, Attadale. ▪ After Santa Maria she returned to Busselton and monitored for a year. • "Monitoring, was done by anyone * interested in teaching," Hilary said. • "It meant you worked in the schools • * for a year to decide if it really was the • the career you wanted." It was, and she went on to train at * Claremont Teacher's College in one • * of the first two year courses insti• tuted after the end of World War • * Two. .Her first posting was to Quelaget'in the middle of nowhere.' ; * It was a one teacher school with 20 • * students from infants to junior.

The first thing she was asked as she got out of the truck was: "Are you a Catholic. Well you've just missed Mass." Mass it seems was held only once a year and that had been the Monday before her arrival.

Soldiered

UT Mass or no Mass, she soldiered on and made the most of her time in Quelagetting. The school no longer exists, b ut the building was moved to the Cunderdin museum some years ago. From here she went to Donnybrook, a much bigger school and after 15 months transferred to Capel, closer to Busselton and her family. She taught for another 18 months

mel was born a year after their marriage. Now 27, she is studying (as a mature student) to be an art teacher. Katherine, 26, is married and living at Mary Kathleen. She completed a science degree and is also a teacher. Mary-Ellen, 23, is currently on holiday in New Zealand, Patrick, 22, is a trainee accountant, Margot, 20, works with the taxation department, Kevin, 17, is in his last year at Mt Lawley High School and Phillipa, 15, is also at Mt Lawley High.

Questions

Seeing seven kids safely on their way was her biggest and most vital job

HE O'Neills had been married 13 years when Pat had his first heart attack. It came as a shock to everyone. "Pat had never had a thing wrong with him and that was what made it so hard," Hilary said. "He died 12 months and one day after the first attack. The baby was four months old when he went to hospital for the last time. "It was a difficult time. I guess I was more concerned with holding the kids together than anything else and she thought about returning to primyou had to know the right questions ary teaching but with her own childto ask to get any answers from the ren at that stage she was looking for doctors. another involvement. On completing a re-training course at the Western Australian Institute of Technology, she was posted to John Forrest High School. Her next move was to Morley High where she stayed for eight years.

'You can't put kids into boxes anymore, they D

know their rights and life is harder for them' and then travelled to the eastern states. It was the big tour. In those days people didn't travel overseas, they went 'east'. On her return she taught at Perth College for a year and in 1953 met husband-to-be, Pat O'Neill and was married a year later. "He was a physicist but it was in the time of the recession and as he had a good science degree he decided to train as a teacher," Hilary said. "He had been offered a job and so he spent the first year of our marriage studying at Claremont Teacher's College." The O'Neill's first daughter, Car-

"It was so ironic, Pat wasn't overweight, in fact I always steamed our vegetables, even with a roast, probably because we had such a large family I didn't have room to fry them with the meat. He wasn't under stress, nor was he a stressful person . . . he was so easy-going. "I often think I was lucky though there's a poem called the 'Hound of Heaven,' about a man who returns to God, which helped to sort me out. "My faith had always been a big t hing to me but somehow the words from the poem put everything into perspective." When Hilary went back to work

ECIDING she needed more qualifications, Hilary began a BA in Social Science at WAIT. It was a tall order — seven kids, a full-time job and part-time study. She's rightly proud of the fact that she completed the three-year full time course in four years part time. Here mother, she says, was a great help and so were the children. With her degree tucked under her arm she was posted to Katanning as deputy principal in 1978. The two youngesst children went with her and one child, Margot, boarded at Santa Maria for a year. Then it was on to Pinjarra for another 12 months and in 1980, back to Perth, as deputy principal of Governor Stirling High School. She loves the job and thrives on the challenge of dealing with young students who are increasingly aware of the world around them. "You can't put kids into boxes anymore," she said. "They know their rights.
