CTS DRAW R YOUTH Up to 1000 young Catholics are regularly involved in fundamental and pentecostal movements in the Brisbane archdiocese. Many older Catholics also are involved. This "conservative estimate" was given to the archdiocesan Senate of Priests in a special report on Catholic y outh, The report was prepared for the senate at the request of Bishop Gerry, Auxiliary, Brisbane, and Fr Vince Hobbs, archdiocesan liaison priest for the Catholic Charismatic movement.
Drawn away The senate was told: "This report expresses anxiety at the number of Catholic youth who feel drawn away from Catholicism to participate in the religious services of other Christian sects, namely, Christian Outreach Centre, Christian Life Centre, Garden City Christian Centre and Northside Christian Family."
Geraldton entries on display A comparatively rare Catholic architectural event takes place at Allendale Square next week when there will be a five day exhibition of plans prepared for a new Catholic complex in Geraldton. On display will be submissions made by four selected architects in a limited ideas competition conducted for Bishop Foley of Ceraldton to prepare for a new c athedral presbytery and parish centre. The drawings on display are not the final design but only the
concepts submitted by architects in
a competition to choose a final architect. Bishop Foley approached the Royal Institute of Architects in organising the ideas competition as he felt the new building and its relationship to the unique St Francis Xavier Cathedral would play a significant role in the development of the city of Geraldton. Initially interest was invited from the profession and 36 responded w ith a submission of their credentials.

The report says: Background: Most young Catholics believe in a God 'of some kind' and that they can communicate with him. "Jesus Christ is a big question mark to many of them -- an estimated 75 per cent of them have no personal relationship with Jesus by the time they leave school. "The Church is irrelevant to them: They see it mostly as organisational or institutional; it rarely has any part to play in their lives; their recognised needs are normally not being met by the Church."
Desperate The report goes on: "Yet they are desperately searching for something or someone who believes in them and loves them; gives meaning and purpose to their lives. "Enter a few aggressively evangelistic Churches into the scene..." Their - approach, the report says, is: "Strongly evangelistic...calls each night for people to commit their lives to Jesus...big emphasis on the proclaimed word to

Parish history The new church of St Anthony takes over from the 16 year life of the former church built in 1966 under the direction of Father Paul Keyte SDS who arrived with the first Salvatorian c ommunity in 1961, living first at Darlington. In May last year, a Blackboy Hill inauguration Mass was held just before the old church was vacated. For the past seven months, Mass has been celebrated in St Anthony's school with weddings and funerals being transferred to St Brigid's church, Midland. The new church and presbytery is situated on the corner of Innaminca Road and Bullara Road, Greenmount.

TODAY'S CHRISTIAN YOUTH WILL LEAD THE CHURCH AND AUSTRALIA INTO THE 21ST CENTURY!
The first stage of what is to become a very large secondary school complex for Corpus Christi College, situated on Murdoch Drive, Bateman.
New high school at Bateman The pioneer students of Corpus Christi College Bateman are likely to remember for many years the opening address of the principal, Father Robert McCormack 0. Carm, in which he gently warned the pupils to watch out f or dugite snakes.

Record
Too hard to be bothered? [he 1983 elections may become remembered as much for public anxiety that they are voting at all as for the eventual victor at the poll. That 1983 had to be an election year either co-inciding or just following many state elections is becoming as aggravating as the choosing of a party. Whiffs and hints of reforms that ought to be introduced into parliamentary elections of the future only add confusion to many other issues that are already too confusing. A fter 80 years of Federation there are less and less voters who can think back to the early years of the century when the idea of Federal politics cantering alongside the familiar state contest was still something of a novelty. With faster communication, the various state elections are made into a national, as well as local, business and the state elector is likely to have the impression that he has been to the polling booth more times than he prefers. Which all goes to indicate that politics is bringing out the worst in people not just because of the politicians paraded before them but because of t he tension it exposes in each individual.
The Osborne Park conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul has been in existence for nearly half the life of the society in W estern Australia said Fred Preshaw, state president, at a recent Mass and social to celebrate it's 30th anniversary. Formed in 1951, the conference was not aggregated (admitted) until Australia Day 1953.

Confessional loneliness A vote means making a decision, taking a position before oneself. The isolation of the polling booth is not far from the stark loneliness of t he confessional. There is no gallery to which to play, or from whom to seek approval. Some who boast they have never voted any other than their stated allegiance are ducking the issue and grandstanding, absolving themselves for any part in the decision making processes of the country. The restlessness surrounding the 1983 struggle in politics arises because it is increasingly necessary to have someone to blame as the real culprits in a worsening world situation become harder to find. Commendably, the safest advice from pulpits and in prayers will be to look for the grace to vote responsibly with God-given intelligence, not because of the anticipated result but because an abdication from personal morality and accountability is one of the diseases of mass culture that automatically blesses what "everyone" is doing. Others, also commendably, will take the responsibility further and point out that there is a Christian restlessness abroad about the injustice, discrimination and manipulation that are victimising the weak members of the community.
Why bother? Such an approach runs the marginal risk of coming to easy conclusions about where "Christians" stand on a very complex range of fiscal and other issues. A new type of intolerance emerges that those who think contrarily to our opinion are safely excluded from our personalised definition of a follower of Christ. Whatever the wrongs of the recent snap announcement, exaggerated whimpering over those who are not on the rolls need not be an excuse for the lazy minded who are the quickest to pass the buck of responsibility, even in politics. Australia is a comparatively rare country with its compulsory voting. Other countries don't see the necessity for it and it is anyone's guess if they are the worse off. The Roman senators solved the matter by sending out the bully boys with their paint pots and ropes. Those who walk heavily to the polls in the next few weeks can wonder if they really want a process as smooth as Andropov's recent slide into the Kremlin for life, or whenever. It saves a lot of trouble if that is what people want.

The Record, February 10 — 16, 1983
from Eric Maddison, Thornlie . Sir, Father Kirwan (The Record, January 27) seems to link the falling away from the sacrament of confession, devotion to Our Lady, and some other malaises currently afflicting the Church, to some external manifestations of the Charismatic Renewal. The reverse has been my experience. Although a frequent communicant, in recent years I have attended confession but once or twice a year. However since reading and listening to prominent charismatics, both clergy and lay, I have had re-awakened in me the necessity and power of this wonderful and therapeutic sacrament. While I agree that a step by step preparation
for the spiritual life is necessary, it appears that many of us, including myself, have to experience our "Road to Damascus" before we do anything about it, or even become aware of the need for it in our lives. Since my limited contact with the Charismatic Renewal my prayer life has become more meaningful, m‘ awareness, respect, love and appreciation for the Church and all things spiritual that are from God has deepened; my relations with others -- family, friends etc — has improved markedly and for the first time in my life I am reading and studying Sacred Scripture, the truth and basis of our Catholic faith. I feel no call to become a member of a charismatic prayer group, but I feel I must acknowledge the good influence this movement has had upon me.

All Dutch to John The 12-year -old John Versteegen and his mates of similar age bubbled with excitement and thought it was the greatest show on earth as they watched the armed might of Nazi Germany sweep through their little border town. On that May day in 1940 the imperious Wehrmacht gave the villagers hardly a glance as it sped on to demolish Holland's puny defences already being pulverised by the unopposed Luftwaffe.

The children of De!den were delighted with the rumbling tanks, the speeding lorries loaded with infantry, the motor cycles, the pennant-flying staff cars, the self-propelled artillery. They paid no attention to the concern in the eyes of their elders at this invasion of traditionally-neutral Holland. Soon their pleasure changed to frustration as the Nazis occupied their district. With the years it was to develop into fear and ultimately into hungry desperation. Originally, many Dutch thought they could adjust to the invasion. After all, they had a close ethnic relationship with the Germans. But before long this attitude changed as the true nature of Nazism was revealed to them. The dawning of reality quickly gave birth to the resistance movement which was to spend five tortured years in sabotaging the German war effort in every way possible. John Versteegen has bitter memories of the Nazis plundering Holland for everything they needed back in Germany -- food, people rounded up in the streets to work in forced labour camps, even the bells taken down from his church to be melted down to make munitions. When John was half-way through his course at the technical college at Hengelo, the Nazis took the school over to train aircraft mechanics. He and his little group were crammed into two classrooms in what had been a school for handicapped children, and the other students were scattered around the town in similar makeshift accommodation. His papers stated the chemical factory at which he was first an apprentice — later a tradesman -- was working in the German interests and that saved him from being consigned to a forcedlabour camp, as so many of his compatriots were. For 10 days, as the Nazis were staring defeat in the face, the Todt organisation, the Wehrmacht's industrial arm.
John Versteegen, proprietor o f Bedford's Electrical Service in Cumnock Place, Duncraig, was born at De/den in Holland on August 9, 1927. He started his education at the Catholic primary school there, continued it at the technical college at Hengelo before becoming an apprentice electrician at a chemical manufacturing works where he completed his trade training and at which he worked during the Nazi occupation of Holland. After the war his service in the Dutch Marines included nearly two years in the Netherlands East Indies (now Indonesia) from which he was transferred back to Holland only about a month before Soekarno came to power. Unable to speak a word of English, he migrated to Western A ustralia in 1950. John was formerly a state councillor of the Knights of the Southern Cross, sang as a bass in the St Mary's Cathedral choir for 18 years and was a prime mover in the formation of the Catenian Association in WA. He and his wife, Lucy (nee Wynands) w orship at St Theresa's Church, Gwelup, and have three daughters and two sons ranging in age from 27 to 14.

So they took advantage of Dutch law and entered into a civil marriage by proxy while Lucy was in Holland and John was in Perth. A fter her arrival, the Church nuptials were solemnised by Father Vin O'Sullivan at St Peter's, Bedford. Things were tough in those early r ears. John was starting his own business. building a house with his own hands in Dianella, and the babies were arriving.

Bishops ask for justice Call to couples F ".4 WAN CITY IN() — Pope John Paul II called on married couples to be "true prophets" by giving witness to -.spousal andprocreative love." .Addressing about 5.000 people during his weekly general audience the pope said: "Through matrimony cv ‘: sacrament of the Church, the bran and woman are in an explicit way called to give the witness of spousal and procreative love, witness worthy of true prophets," he said. Pope John Paulsaid the covenant relationship between husband and wife "is continually renewed and deepened whenever a couple expresses their love, not only in word, but by means of their bodies, through their respective masculinity and femininity." " Thus, they are responsible for choosing those actions which will continually deepen their love for one another, strengthen their fidelity to their marriage vows, and keep them one in mind and heart until death, - he added. "In doing this, they become an effective sign of Christ's love for his spouse, the Church."
ALBANY N.Y. (NC) — The Catholic bishops of New York State have called for reform of the criminal justice system, including greater use of alternatives to imprisonment. "We believe that response to crime must balance the protection of society with opportunities for healing, retribution and rehabi litation,- the bishops said in a pastoral statement on criminal justice released January 27.

"Those who commit crimes do not give up their human dignity and those who administer justice must not deny this God-given dignity. We must not develop a criminal justice system which is founded on revenge and without the elements of mercy and forgiveness."

A study of the prison population, they said, indicates that: - 72 per cent of the prison population had not graduated from high school. - 60 per cent were between the ages of 16 and 30. - 53 per cent were black and 20 per cent Hispanic. 60 per cent of all male prisoners and 50 per cent of all female prisoners were drug users. "Nearly one-quarter of all persons in state prisons last year committed non violent offences," they said.

Shops join campaign NAPLES, Italy (NC) — Hundreds of thousands of shopowners and workers joined in a campaign backed by Cardinal Corrado Ursi of Naples to close down Italy's third largest city for 48 hours last month as a sign of protest against the local Mafia organisation, The Camorra. Fewer than 100 of Naples' estimated 57,000 shops. bars, restaurants and offices opened for business January 26 and even the majority of street vendors stayed home. The only official public gathering marking the first day of the anti-Camorra protest was a morning Mass in the Naples cathedral celebrated by Cardinal I. "You must have courage, you must defeat the code of silence, you must have the courage to confront the Camorra members face to face," the cardinal said. The two-day protest was also carried out in many of the towns surrounding Naples. But in Ottaviano. the hometown of suspected Camorra boss Raffaele Cutolo, all the shops remained open. The cardinal said the Camorra can be attributed to "ideologies which have expropriated the dignity of man, placing idols in place of values: the idols of riches, power, licentious passions." Last September in the Campania region of Italy, which includes Naples, the regional bishops' conference issued guidelines on the Camorra which fell short of excommunicating its members but deprived them of certain sacramental rights. According to the guidelines, known Camorra members cannot be godparents for baptisms or receive Catholic funerals. "The Church condemns you but awaits you with hope," said Cardinal Crsi in remarks addressed to Camorra members at the January 26 Mass. "You will always find the doors open if you are converted."

St Thomas a learned mystic The spirit of scholars is that they love the truth because it is beautiful. The spirit of mystics is that they love the beautiful because it is true. Not all scholars are mystics, nor are all mystics scholars. Yet a mystic like St Teresa of Avila, though not a scholar, has been named a doctor of the Church. Perhaps it is in St Thomas Aquinas, however, that we can perceive the scholar and mystic in one person most easily, even if the scholar side seems to dominate. No one would doubt that Aquinas was a scholar. He loved the truth because it was beautiful, so beautiful that he spent his years thinking about it and ever in hot pursuit of it. To a great extent his reputation rests on his scholarship, his masterpiece the "Summa Theologica," in particular. He is a theologian's theologian, a philosopher's philosopher. Aquinas did the unthinkable in his lifetime: He broke the spell of
By Father Alfred McBride, 0. Praem. St Augustine on theological thinking. A quinas turned religious thinkers to the possible uses of Aristotle in their work. For a thousand years the works of Augustine had served as the chief reference for studying theology. An original and creative thinker, Aquinas brought fresh views to religious thinking and became himself a reference point for future theological reflection. Yet there is a spiritual and mystical side to the man. He loved the beautiful because it was true. Of course both approaches -- those of scholar and mystic — ultimately centre in Christ who is both beautiful and true. The hints about the mystical side of Aquinas are just that - hints. Still, some surviving legends capture the insight. It is said that when he completed
the treatise on the Holy Eucharist he knelt before the cross and placed the manuscript at the feet of Jesus. The Lord said, "Very well done, Thomas. What can I give you in return." Thomas replied, "Only Yourself, 0 Lord, only Yourself." Aquinas' poetry also supplies hints of his mystical depth. He was asked to compose the texts for the feast day of Corpus Christi, a feast of the Eucharist. His public writings to this point were sparse prose, some would even say prosaic. His literary style aimed for clarity and courtesy. Now he begins to produce lyrics for hymns like the "Tantum Ergo" that would be sung for centuries at the Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, and the "Pange Lingue," which likewise would be sung for ages to come in processions of the Blessed Sacrament.

Mystics and scholars often seem like people far removed from the ordinary Christian. But this week our series presents some mystics and scholars who have a lot to say about the Christian way of life in the world. Father Alfred McBride talks about St Thomas Aquinas' intimate acquaintance with God. The learned mystic and scholar also wrote beautiful religious hymns still sung today, he observes. Father McBride is an educator and lecturer living at St Norbert's Abbey in De Pere, Wis. Christine Allen tells of many figures in Christian history who combined mysticism and scholarship. Mystics try to serve their fellows, the author observes. Ms Allen is a professor of philosophy at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. NeilParent writes that St Teresa of Avila was an intelligent and witty woman whose mystic experiences hold lessons for today. Parent is the representative for adult education in the Department of Education at the U.S. Catholic Conference. Father John Castelot concludes his discussion of the prophet Isaiah's active ministry by noting the prophet's role as an adviser to King Hezekiah. There is a popular Jewish tradition that the prophet was martyred, he notes.
Musical British author, G.K. Chesterton, described the hymns with these comments: "The Corpus Christi Office is like some old musical instrument, quaintly and carefully inlaid with many coloured stones and metals. The author has gathered remote texts about pasture and fruition like rare herbs. "There is a notable lack of the loud and obvious in the harmony. His words are difficult to translate into English. How is anyone to render the sound of the 'Pange Lingua' when the very first syllable has a clang like the clash of cymbals?" Like all true mystics, Thomas was filled with a passionate love for God, for creation and for his brothers and sisters in the human family. The very courtesy in his writings was a sign of his steady and tender affection for people. Toward the end of his life he Mystics have been given a special gift of prayer which unites them in the deepest Possible way with God. But mystics also exhibit a deep desire to serve other people seems to have acquired a special because of their heightened sense of who God is.

Prayer and study Sometimes people wrongly suggest that mystical experience leads a person away from serious study and scholarship. Another equally false suggestion is that mystical experience leads to the disappearance of individuality because the mystic is lost in God. The study of the lives of Catholic mystics, however, proves that authentic mystical life leads to a deep desire both to know the world and to serve other people with a heightened awareness of one's individual gifts to the Christian community. A mystic is a person who has been given a special gift of a prayer of union with God. A scholar is a person whose intellect has been trained for study, research, writing and teaching. In the history of the Church, St Augustine, the fourth century bishop of Hippo, stands out as one of the earliest men to combine mysticism and scholarship. His City of God is said to have inspired Charlemagne, crowned emperor of the Holy Roman Empire in 800 A.D. by the pope, to establish a Christian civilisation throughout Europe. Later, Herrad of Landsberg wrote the first encyclopedia for women, titled, The Garden of Delights.

nuns about Christianity. At the same time, another Benedictine abbess, Hildegard of Bingen, (Germany) joined mystical union with Christ to a talent for science. She wrote several books on the classification of stones, on the healing capacities of herbs, on the different psychology of women and men, and on the relation of humanity to the rest of the world. A similar combination of mysticism and science also was found in the writings of the 13th century Dominican, St Albert the Great. His discoveries in natural science led to a new system of classification of animal life. A student of St Albert became the most famous man to combine mysticism and scholarship in the Catholic tradition, St Thomas Aquinas. This Dominican priest wrote more than a hundred books and taught for years at the University of Paris. St Teresa of Avila is probably the most famous woman to combine scholarship and mysticism. The 16th century Carmelite author became the first woman ever named a doctor of the Church. St Catherine of Sienna is the only other woman with that title. A friend of St Teresa's, St John of the Cross, wrote that the goal of all mystical prayer ought to be the increase of charity, he developed
this view in his writings, The Ascent of Mount Carmel, The Living Flame of Love and The Dark Night of the Soul. Two contemporary scholars and mystics lived out this goal of charity in the shadow of Auschwitz. The Carmelite philosopher, Edith Stein, and the Franciscan journalist, St Maxirnillian Kolbe, gave their lives for their neighbours in the holocaust of the concentration camps during World War II. Finally, North America has several examples of Catholics who combine scholarship and mysticism. Sister Marie of the Incarnation, the 17th century foundress of the Ursuline Order in Quebec. Canada, wrote dictionaries and catechisms in several native tongues. Thomas Merton, the Cistercian monk from Gethsemene, Ky, dedicated his life to make the contemplative tradition accessible to the general American public. From all these examples, it is easy to see that authentic mystical life, or true union with Christ in prayer, can release women and men into a wonderful variety of vocations. Christian mystics have been philosophers, historians, scientists, teachers, reformers, poets, theologians, linguists and journalists. Even more, many Christian mystics also have sacrificed their lives for others. In this way, mystics have not only been scholars, but also saints.
Of wit and holiness ...

We owe our being to Him — and this is the essence of motherhood. . .God is as really our mother as He is our father." She also refers to Jesus as 'our mother, brother and saviour." A n unusual way of thinking in her day, as in ours, notes Wolters.
"The mystical experience consists in a conscious, deep and intimate union of the soul with God who has taken the initiative." (Clifton Wolters, introduction to Julian of Norwich's Revelations.)
passed through the camp are now gone. There are only the markings of where they once stood. But the gas ovens are still there, as are the watch towers and the barbed wire fences. And so is the haunting memory of the human tragedy that took place there. Across the camp compound lie three chapels erected to the memory of those who suffered and died in Dachau. Attached to one of the chapels is a Carmelite convent. The sisters there engage in perpetual prayer, partly in reparation on behalf of humankind for the sin of Dachau and partly as plea to God that this kind of tragedy will never be repeated. St Teresa of Avila, the 16th century mystic and foundress of the order of Carmelite nuns who are at Dachau, would approve. If there were ever a place for her sisters to pray and give witness, it is Dachau. For St Teresa, prayer was a powerful force in service to God's work; prayer could help avoid a future Dachau. But Teresa wasn't always so sanguine on prayer. For nearly 20 years as a young sister, she paid little attention to personal prayer. Along with many of the nearly 180 other nuns she lived with at Incarnation Convent in Avila, religious life was a continual buzz of interesting activities, including entertaining frequent guests. When she was 39, however, Teresa began to sense a growing need for change in her spiritual life. She experienced a call to devote more time to prayer and to live a more solitary and simple lifestyle. Shortly thereafter she and several other sisters from Incarnation Convent founded a new convent in which they could life a more rigorous and devotional religious life. They called themselves Dis-
calced Carmelites (literally, without shoes, since they wore sandals instead of shoes reflecting both their simpler lifestyle and the fact that they would live primarily in solitude). Teresa was an extraordinary woman. Imaginative and industrious, she founded 14 convents in her lifetime. Her extensive writings on the spiritual life are classics in the field and have won for her the title doctor of the Church. Intelligent and witty herself, Teresa prized these qualities in her novices. She once wrote: "Even though our Lord should give this young girl devotion and teach her contemplation, if she has no sense she never will come to have any, and instead of being of use to the community she will be a burden. . . May God preserve us from stupid nuns." One day when two partridges were brought to the kitchen door of the convent, Teresa instructed that they be prepared for supper. When a sister questioned her decision in light of the community's austere lifestyle, Teresa responded that "there is a time for penance and a time for partridge." For Teresa, a life devoted to prayer was not an escape from the demands of the world. Prayer was both a path to union with God and a means for doing good works. In her book, The Interior Castle, she wrote that the aim of prayer is to bring one to conformity with God's will. And in the same work, she states: "This is the reason for prayer. . . the purpose of the spiritual marriage: the birth always of good works, good works." Prayer was to be a means ofjourneying inward toward union with God and a journey outward in service to others.

Her job a joy of The 'joy of creation' is all in a days work for architect, Iris Rossen it's what makes her job such a constant pleasure after more than 20 years in the business. She is, she says, a religious person and thanks God every day for her being an architect. "I really love it,- she said. -And it makes me feel closer to Him, the Greeks called God the 'great architect.

ually to the formal sitting room and is separated from the forecourt and neighbours by a sculptured garden wall. At the rear a private patio links the family room to the double carport to give an extended informal living and entertainment area. Internally spaces flow vertically from ground floor to first floor over open balconies between the living room and main bedroom, the entry and stair landing and the family area and study. The apparent size of the house is also increased by the open planning on the ground floor which gives long vistas through the house yet retains privacy for the various living areas through a judicious progression of spaces. Despite this success, home design is usually a minor part of her firm's work. "We do all kinds of things," she said, hospitals, churches, schools, aged peoples homes and factories." One particular interest is in the field of aged accommodation. Iris has done extensive research into the needs of the aged and aims always to create a home not an institution. She has read prolifically to complete the necessary research and always remembers one piece of advice: "I was told once to design something that I would like to live in." she said. A recently completed aged persons hostel at Kojonup is an indication of the practicality and sensitivity of her work. There was an old Australian colonial home remaining on the site so Iris designed the hostel in keeping with the 'feel'. It's country style at its best with white walls, big fireplaces and shady verandahs ... a home that anyone would be delighted to live in with sweeping vistas of the surrounding countryside. She has a team of architects and has been involved on Government school projects. One of her loves is church design, and because of her work in this area, she was invited to join the Liturgy Commission with which she spent 10 years.
constant creation in her daily work and to see her through "I felt very privileged to be on the commission," she said. "I worked with some outstanding priests and came to understand the changes which resulted from Vatican II, and their effect on church architecture. ' During that time I gave lectures on changes in church environment as affected by Vatican II, and have since had the opportunity to help parishes adapt churches to fit new needs. "With all my church work I've never seen it as a way to make money, just to break even. My reward has been in making a place more prayerful and suited to the liturgy." At one time under the auspices of the Liturgical Commission she ran exhibitions for liturgical artists in conjunction with the Festival of Perth. In 1973 she organised 32 artists and craftspeople to display their work in stained glass, vestments, furniture and various other arts and crafts. \ rt and craft is a very important part of her life. Like most architects she has often made things with her hands and enjoyed immensely the hours put into preparing woollen applique wall hangings for churches. Born in Corfu, Greece to British parents, Alice and Eric Raymond she spent the first I I years of her life in that country where her father was the British Consul.
A frica The family then moved to South A frica for seven years where Iris completed her schooling and picked up the distinctive accent that remains with her still. In her final year of architecture she married a fellow student, Ernest Rossen. The couple lived and worked in Rhodesia. Canada and the United States before moving to Perth in 1962. By this time they had seven children and two more were born in Western Australia before the marriage ended in 1969. Iris found herself without a husband and with nine children aged between 16 and two years. She also found herself forced back to full-time work, putting in long days at the office and often long nights at home. But hard work has never worried her and she wouldn't know how to worry if she tried ... her life support is total trust in the Lord. She is constantly grateful for all she has; grateful to have a big loving family; grateful to have had a happy married life until her marriage ended; grateful to have had wonderful parents; grateful to have lived in Greece ( a country she adores) and Australia and grateful to have had good health (she swims at the beach every day). She looks remarkably young for someone toying with her 50's and her attractive face seems little touched by the demands of family or job. Children, she says, keep you young and with four still living at home, it's not unusual to roll in from the office and find as many as 10 or 15 youngsters chatting and snacking out of the fridge. She delights in the talents and personalities of each and everyone of her children: Francis, 29 is a medical researcher
about to move to Melbourne to commence a doctorate in cancer research; Therese, 28 is a primary school art teacher, married with a t wo year old daughter called Alice; Bernadette, 26 is a teacher at St Thomas Aquinas; Greg, 25 is a real estate agent; Paul, 24 has just graduated with honours from the School of Architecture (he also won a prize for the top final year in professional practice); Angela, 23 is a very creative and successful artist who has held a number of exhibitions and recently won a Fremantle Art Prize; Claire, 21 is a delightful lady who is a homebody at present; Linda, 17 a budding flautist has just completed her TAE and Jenny 15 is a student at John XIII, studies ballet and wants to be an actress. A member of the Holy Rosary parish, Nedlands, Iris puts her faith first in her life. She is totally sincere and true to her beliefs, so much so that she sometimes wonders if her comments are misunderstood. If she had a goal it would be to be a saint, it may sound ridiculous, she says, but to her the only worthwhile goal is to do the very best she can each day. While the prospect of sainthood is not a real thing, she smiles, it's the attitude to life that saints have had that she would wish to imitate. Sincere and serious she may be about being a Catholic but she is
also a realistic and tolerant person ... believing that children especially may need time to question their faith a little in order to find themselves and the truth. Her main hobby is her work, her second is her children, then comes the beach and liturgical art. She still gives lectures to various groups on the latter. She has a sense of fun that's infectious and says she has never been one to look back, there's always too much happening up front. While architecture has become increasingly competitive she has never been out of work. One of her favourite projects was completed with her husband St Denis Church of Joondanna. A member of the National Trust for a number of years she was asked to design extensions to St Mary's Anglican church at Busselton which had been classified by the Trust. That was an exciting job, she says. She was also involved in restoration work at St John's Pro-Cathedral which was completed for W estern Australia's 1 5 Oth celebrations.

The Record, February 10 — 16, 1983
consulting architect selected four finalists who were given a brief and asked to prepare site plans, ground plans elevation and sketches of an idea for the project. The project is planned eventually to include a new parish residence, a bishop's residence diocesan offices and a parish centre. The four finalists chosen to submit ideas were: • Greg Eastman in associations
with Alan Finlay . o Hobbs, Winning and Leighton and Partners; • Summerhayes, Way and Associates; • R.J. Ferguson and Associates. The final jury consisting of Bishop Foley and the consultant architect awarded the design to Hobbs Winning and I.eighton for whom Mr Tony Shepherd will be the project architect. The four entrants were paid $1000 toward their costs and the contract becomes the prize for the chosen entrant. The completion of the project swings on the successful sale of the
old bishop's house at the corner of Cathedral Avenue and Chapman Road which is now close to the expanding commercial development in Geraldton.
It is the original house built early in the century by the first bishop William Kelly, but maintenance and other factors have made it unsuitable for church purposes today. A new cathedral presbytery has been in the planning stage for more than a decade and it will stand opposite the cathdral near the new parish school that was opened in 1978.
