Archbishop Foley made the unity of all Church members in Christ the principal theme of his homily at his installation. He said his experience as Bishop of Geralctton had led him to renew deeply his love for the Church of Christ. For some the Catholic Church was primarily a social institution with heavy overtones of authority and class, he said. For others it was a social welfare agency or an ethical system which society would do well to accept. In each of those images there is some truth. "But primarily the Church is a community of the disciples of the Lord Jesus united with Him by faith and baptism andgifted by Him each in a different wayfor the pilgrimage they share in faith. COVER Our cover is a reproduction of the Virgin and Child by Sandro Botticelli (14471510) now housed in the Poldi Museum at Milan.
"In St John's Gospel the Lord's recurring call to fidelity is echoed in His prayer for His disciples: 'May they be one in us so that the world may believe it was you who sent me.' • Cent page 4

At the conclusion of the Mass in which he had taken charge of the archdiocese of Perth, Archbishop Foley raises his hand in his first blessing to the congregation that included representatives from every Catholic organisation andparish in the archdiocese and government and civic leaders.
Church helping to shape a world
Irish role Archbishop Foley had a word of praise for the Irish contribution to the Church of Western Australia and also for the migrant community he worked amongst f or nine years as director of Catholic migration. -The Australian born members of the Church which in a way I represent needs to be fully aware of the debt of gratitude to those who have come to build this local church. "I think particularly of the priests and religious from Ireland, sacrificing their home, family, and friends to work for the Lord here. 1 "I think too of those from other lands , who have made sacrifices to work for us, to work for the Aborigines in our midst. I trust we will never forget them, the work they did and the work they continue to do. -This archdiocese has grown immensely since the 1950's and has grown in great riches with the arrival of so many new settlers, migrants and refugees from many parts of the world. "You have welcomed them and made them a part of your IKe here. I acknowledge now your vitality and richness
Addressing government and civic leaders who attended his installation, Archbishop Foley outlined the part the Church had to play in shaping the world.

all mankind. Isaiah alerted the people of old to the universality of God's love and His plan when he said: "Outsiders who cling to my covenant I will bring to my holy mountain for my house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples. "So today the Church must be aware that the good news she receives in trust is God's gift to all mankind. Mankind has not changed in the centuries though it has progressed in sciences and knowledge. Would that the Church today could reflect the Lord's love sufficiently to all mankind in her life, in her love and in her voice."
Archbishop Foley gives the sign of peace to Dr Peter Carnley, Anglican Archbishop of Perth, during the installation in St Mary's cathedral.

Archbishop Foley said: "Too often we fail to recognise the basic unity that is ours as brothers and s isters in Christ. By baptism we were made one; history contains the reason for that current lack of unity. "May the continuing growth of each community in its acceptance of the Lord Jesus and our own mutual respect and understanding for one another lead us nearer to the full unity for which Jesus prayed. "May this gift of unity manifest itself increasingly in our cornmon acceptance of His total revelation"
A Christmas message from Bunbury I wish you all a very happy and blessed Christmas. We celebrate the birthday of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who has come to lead us to our Heavenly Father and to life everlasting. Now what better piece of news could we want! The depressing highlights dominating world news must not blind us to the good things going on at the same time. Nor, on the other hand, should the good things we have blind us to the fact others are not so good. If I let evil depress me overmuch I'll never be stimulated enough to do good. Likewise, if I jealously look after my own well-being too much, I end up treating others as constant competitors. We cannot escape worries, problems, hurts and wrongs but we can set our own standards and not let them be determined by what is happening to us. It is failure of the worst kind to let others determine the sort of person each one of us is going to be.
Do not be blind to the good by BISHOP QUINN Bishop of Bunbury
Christmas is when we are reminded there is a love from God always there. God didn't wait till we were good enough or had earned his love. He sent Jesus His Son among us to show no matter what is happening or what may be going wrong His searching-out of each one of us is going on all the time, simply because His love is something He wants to share with us. People like Mother Teresa, St Vincent de Paul, St John of God don't do good because someone is going to praise them for it. They commit themselves to what is good by Christ's standard and example and do it no matter what. To build up that personal dedication to Christ and His way of handling life means if it's good it's always worthwhile and builds up our inner quality that makes us worthwhile in ourselves. May the Christ Child share that spirit of giving no matter what, with us all.

Rehce ord News that is Good needs to be spread The universality of the appeal of Christmas can be seen no better than in the fact that non-Christians and even those who have no religious adherence at all put as much, if not more, energy into celebratiig the day than even Christians whose special feast it is. The customary analysis at this time of the year can usually puts it down to consumer spending or the deep-seated human need to have at least one or two occasions in the year when the fundamental bond of family friend shi p needs t, be expressed. The appeal of Christmas may arise from the fact that its theology is very simple. For those who feel like praying, the prayer is simple, it is Emmanuel, it is God-Is-With-Us. Those who can't pray like the idea that others who can pray may be doing it for them. Little wonder that a former translation of the angels' words to the shepherds spoke of "peace on earth to all men". Since then the scripture specialists have read the lines more closely for our benefit to tell us that it is peace to men with whom God has made friends. The idea is the same: God is not picking and choosing amongst His friends. He became Man for us and our salvation, excluding nobody and numbering the worst people in town as his special friends. This, announced the angels, was Good News very different from the bad news that is heard every day as humans are unjust with each other, envious and hateful to the point of killing each other, to say nothing of smug righteousness of those who claim they do not fit into the earlier categories. Christmas is about Good News and about the unity of all mankind. Both are in the news as far as The Record this week is concerned. The first writers of the gospel grabbed at that exciting expression and it was epitomised in the excitement that greeted the Apostles and early disciples as they trudged from house to house and village to village spreading that knowledge of Jesus Christ. Now that we are fed news on the hour by the hour, printed, spoken or pictured some elitist Christians want to change the meaning of words. They want the Good News to be a kind of exclusive club that has decided to leave the world wallow in its version of news, usually bad at that. We therefore asked a journalist, a former Record joumalist, a person from inside the church, to look at the Good News at Christmas and report on his findings. Only one clue is missing from his views that are published on page 14 of this issue: he was an Anglican who had sat in a Catholic newspaper office for over two years and had a unique opportunity to look at the product and how it is being marketed. His situation might suggest that the other aspect troubling The Record this Christmas is disunity at least that between the churches. However, as Archbishop Foley has pointed out on this page it is the topic of unity not just disunity which is to the fore. This unity is not about applying plaster and bandages to situations where disunity abounds but about the unity that exists in the diversity of mankind. It is the unifying of the talents, hopes and achievements of all God's people into one Body of Christ which has many members, not all of them with the same function.
ItVVV-VC Archbishop Foley revealed that he is a bishop with the very latest Good News because that theme of the unity of mankind echoes from every page of the principal document issued at the second Vatican Council, on the Church. It is a doctrine re-asserted because it is relevant to our own times. At Christmas, then, the Good News is that each human being becomes a true brother and sister to Jesus Christ because He was born the way we all are. In Bethlehem there is no faked ordinariness. It is a pen picture of the birth place of millions and millions of people being born in this rich and technologically proud world. Too much food and drink take their toll of the body at this time of the year. Too much of a festivity can take its toll of the soul if the meaning of the celebration is lost. Who will supply the missing message, if not Christians? How beautiful are the feet of those who bring tidings of peace, says God's word. How much more impressive to find flesh and blood men and women of the 1980's whose vision of Christ has been re-charged at Christmas who are proud of the fact that they have Good News to tell a tired world which is one because God Himself was made flesh and pitched His tent amongst us.

Everyone has a part "As you think of the years ahead in the future of this archdiocese and the part you hope to play in its life and activity you have rather high expectations of my leadership and my contribution.
However, without you I can do nothing, but with you as individuals, as parish communities, organisations and movements I believe much can be done." These were the words of Archbishop Foley to the packed cathedral which saw him installed as archbishop of Perth last week.
-Therefore trusting in the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit, I now promise to spend myself in your service. May the prayers and the powerful example of Mary the Mother of the Saviour, to whom my predecessors dedicated this cathedral and archdiocese, inspire me and support me as she has my predecessors and the people up till today. Archbishop Foley said two months ago when he was approached regarding the appointment he prayed for a way in which he could say no. "It was responsibilityIdid not seek. I knew my limitations and my shortcomings. I am no academic and no great speaker, but I believed the Holy Spirit was working through the Church in some mysterious way."
He said the people consulted in the appointment "represented the Church"and the letter came from the Holy Father "whom I believe to be Head of the Church that is sustained by the Spirit of Jesus Christ and to which I had been baptised in faith." "I believe God was speaking to me through His Church so I accepted. "I had been a happy parish priest and as bishop of Geraldton I had been very close to the people and their lives. "I carry with me those experiences and pray that pastoral hopes of every bishop might be fulfilled in some way through me asIam.
"Two years ago I left this cathedral as one of your priests and since leaving here have served as the bishop of Geraldon. "God has blessed me there so richly that with deep regret I have parted from those Catholics of great faith, generosity and love and with whomIhave willingly shared my life.
^
MdtA ITH9 ^
"Isalute their representatives who have come to Perth to show their love once again and their support in prayer for me. "However I am well aware of the Christian history and life of this archdiocese in which I was born, in which I grew in faith and in which I was ordained to serve in the ministry of the priesthood. "The knowledge of the quality of the people here gives me great encouragement as I return among you. "TodayIcheerfully return as your bishop to share your lives, in the future, your challenges. "I thank you for your genuine encouragement and love expressed so often and so well in the days since the announcement ofmyappoint ment." Archbishop Foley said.
Archbishop Foley seated in St Mary's cathedral in the chair of office from which he will teach and unify the Church.
Praise to the living
Plea for unity... • From page 1 "St Paul to the Romans reaffirmed this characteristic of the Church. All of us in union with Christ form one body and as parts of it we belong to each other. Our gifts differ according to the grace given to us. Nothing that bishops had some to Perth representing all the other states of Australia Archbishop Foley said they gave a wider vision of the Church beyond the local Church.
The Record, December 23 — 29, 1983
"Primarily in the Icoal Church lam called to encourage all to use their special gifts for the good of all. "I ask that the gifts not be used to create division by any sort of competition but to create unity in a spirit of unselfish love. 'This unity of ours is not complete. 'We can think of the Catholic Church in the established countries of Europe but we must think of her in growth in Africa, of her struggle in South America to cope with
development in justice and peace, in Poland and other countries where she is struggling to express her faith. 'The vision these visiting bishops bring us is of the Lord working in His disciples in different societies and cultures. 'This vision of a variety will help us identify the essentials of what makes up the Church of Christ so that we can apply them to our own society that leaps forward with changes at every turn."
Before celebrating the Eucharist, Archbishop Foley asked everyone to renew their commitment to Christ: "Jesus Christ offered Himself in loving obedience to reconcile all men to His Father and tonight He calls us again to join Him to offer ourselves. "May each member of the Church one in their baptism and diverse in their vocation and gifts renew their serf offering to the Lord. "May the whole Church re-commit itself again to praise and thanksgiving to the living of the Christian life and to the task of continuing to proclaim the good news to the world of our day. ' 'Through television may this re-cornmitrnent be seen by the world as a sign of our need to continually renew ourselves of our goodwill and commitment to service to others as a sign of love and hope to the world and as an invitation to seek again to understand the mystery of God's love embodied in the very human people to which it is entrusted.

nBELGRADE —Eight Yugoslav prisoners 1---J have asked to receive Communion during the current Holy Year. Their request went to the governor of Lepoglava prison on August 9, with copies to the nunciature in Belgrade, the Vatican, and humanitarian organisations in the West. When the eight had received no reaction to their request by August 15, the feast of the Assumption, they refused to work on the feast day. They were beaten up, put in solitary confinement, and had criminal fellow prisoners let loose on them.

Pope John Paul was born and plans to turn it into a museum, Vatican Radio has reported. The report said the Church bought the house from the small town of Wadowice in southern Poland, where Karol Woityla, now Pope John Paul II, was born on May 18, 1920. The planned museum will be dedicated to memorabilia of the pope's life and works. The house where the pope was born is a narrow, two-storey structure on the corner of a block. It has a tile roof, a plain stucco exterior and an ungabled attic. 0

nACCRA — Catholics in Ghana are coming under increasing attack from anti-religious elements in the Press and from "thugs" who attempt to intimidate the c lergy. A particularly worrying report has come from the Bishops' Conference which, at its annual meeting, said that intolerance had heightened over the year. The bishops gave as examples of harassment of Bishop Dominic Andoh of Acera, including the recent attempt by a mob to drag him from his house and threaten him with violence
Survey shows f ewer and older priests CHICAGO (NC) — By the year 2000, active diocesan clergy in the United States might decline by as much as 50 per cent and most priests will be in the 46-75 age bracket.

Custody of shroud TURIN (NC) — Pope John Paul II has officially given custody of the Shroud of Turin to the Turin Archdiocese, where it has been kept since 1578. The Vatican on October 18 formally accepted the gift of the shroud, which many believe to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ. The 14-foot linen cloth was willed to the pope by Umberto of Savoy, Italy's last king who died in exile in Switzerland on March 18.

Father Eugene Hemrick, director of research for the US Catholic Conference, said in the last 15 years. seminary enrolment at the high school and college level declined 74 per cent; religious novitiates, 68 per cent; and theologates, 50 per cent. "The research on priestly vocations does not deny that laity and permanent deacons are filling roles once reserved to priests," he said, "Nor does it ignore new forms of church which are changing the image of priesthood."

He said the study starts with the premise that the existence of the ordained prieshood is at stake. "To grow or not to grow in priestly vocations is the bottom line," he said.

ThereasonfortheCatholic shortage "must be factors peculiar to Catholicism and to the Catholic priesthood as presently structured," said Father P.

VATICAN CITY (NC) — Anti-government uprisings in two African countries have r esulted in the death of a priest and the c apture of four nuns by Marxists. Father Alirio Baptista, a 53 year -old P ortuguese priest, was found dead in Mozambique following an attack by antigovernment forces. The priest, who had worked in Africa for 27 years, was on his way to a mission in the town of lapala when he was killed. The four missing sisters, two from Canada and two from Northern Ireland, disappeared in Angola after an attack against a hospital run by sisters. The two Canadian sisters disappeared immediately following the attack on the hospital in Cazomo by anti-government forces. The two sisters from Northern Ireland were last seen when they left their mission in Zambia to go to the Cazomo hospital after they had heard of the attack. The hospital had served both government and anti-government forces. Later it was reported the four nuns were in good condition and that negotiations through the International Red Cross were in progress for their release. The nuns had been kidnapped by UNITA, a guerilla force fighting the Marxist government of Angola.
Vatican document shows VATICAN CITY (NC) -The Vatican document o n sex education stresses "the value of love illuminated by Christ" and "the value of every feeling and act connected to it" said US Cardinal William Baum, prefect of the Vatican Congregation for Catholic education, "Educators, convinced hearers of these values, become authentic transmitters by word and example of these same values to the younger generations," he added. The Church has confidence in families and educators who can and must transmit the values of love," he said. He added that the Church also "has confidence in the young who are open to these values and who can understand them and live them as life

Legalised abortion MADRID (NC) — The Spanish Senate has passed a Bill legalising abortion in cases of rape, malformation of the feotus or danger to the mother's life. The Bill has already passed Spain's lower house. It provoked controversy in the predominantly Catholic country, one of the f ew in Western Europe where abortion for any reason was illegal. The right-wing Popular Alliance Opposition Party had asked for the Bill's withdrawal, and pro-family groups organised marches against it. However, feminist groups and the Communist Party attacked it for not going far enough. A Oft

Lay strike; cancelled VATICAN CITY (NC) — Vatican lay workers cancelled a two-hour planned strike after reaching a wage agreement with a Vatican commission. The 1,600-member employee association for Vatican lay workers threatened to hold the first strike in Vatican history in a nearly unanimous vote in October.
Priest remains in government UNITED NATIONS (NC) — A controversial Nicaraguan priest, who was once publicly admonished by Pope John Paul ll for holding a government post has said he plans to remain in the government. The priest, Father Ernesto Cardenal, said he would rather write poetry than be the Minister for Culture in the Sandinista government. But the government asked him to stay on the job and, since "'everybody obeys his conscience,'" he will remain, said Father Cardenal, who has published several collections of poems. The 58-year -old priest spoke at a press conference at UN headquarters after arriving in the United States for a speaking tour. When Pope John Paul visited Nicaragua in March, he vigorously shook his finger at Father Cardenal when he saw him in the airport reception line. At the UN press conference Father Cardenal said the pope told him to straighten out his affairs with the Church and he understood this to mean that he and several other priests in the Nicaraguan government should be either priests Of government officials, not both.
The agreement includes a pay rise effective January 1, along with the establishment of uniform professional salary levels throughout all Vatican departments. In addition, it was agreed to study a plan to unify the policies for all Vatican employees. At present, four Vatican agencies set different employment policies for workers under their separate jurisdictions. The commission's document also leaves it up to Pope John Paul II to decide whether to grant the employees' request for a one-time additional payment to cover the costof-living increases since their last contract expired in 1980. Pope John Paul, in November 1982, instructed Cardinal Casaroli's office to implement the principles of a just wage. The pope intervened in June 1982, to study the

We had attended many midnight masses around the world, but none had affected us as deeply as this. It had come about in a strange God -like way. We few European Catholics living on the oilfield in Colon, were heavily outnumbered by the local popoulation. The majority of them had only recently been spiritually reached by a persevering Spanish priest, with the result the practising of our ancient religion was still in a somewhat primitive stage. But with the enthusiasm of their race, the people had built a mission church complete with a high tower from which came the strains of The Blue Danube waltz every Sunday calling them to Mass Unlike Masses celebrated in other parts of the world, theirs was more jof a social event, where families and friends met and exchanged news, in an ever growing volume of sound, aided by thehappylaughterof uninhabited children racing around wooden benches, and pie dogs fighting for supremecy of the church.

He noticed our hesitation, and said, -This one will be different, I promise you".

We looked at each other and nodded in agreement, and followed him to where his battered old truck was parked, wondering what we had let ourselves in for but our souls were starving. Away from the noise, and up into the hills we climbed in the ancient vehicle, each alone with his thoughts on this strange Christmas Eve. It was not long before we ground noisily to a halt, and clambering out we took stock of our position. Pressing in on all sides was thek jungle, but by the light of the stars we made out the faint outlines of a straggling path. The priest took the lead and we followed wondering where we were being led.
As we pushed ahead, the jungle thinned, and we came upon a small cleared field. We were in farming country. Still the Spanish priest walked leading his strange procession across the pasture and once more up into the hills. Then he held up his hand and we stopped. He went foreward and vanished into the dark night. Some minutes later a flickering candle appeared and came towards us. A young shepherd boy shyly approached and beckoned us on. As in a dream we followed. Nearby we made out the uncertain shapesof slumbering sheep, and heard the contented munching of feeding cows. And then we saw it. The large cave that sheltered the animals during the wet season had been transformed. Time stood still as we gazed at the flickering candles made of cotton dipped in oil posts and placed around the walls in hollwed-out stones, f resh straw covered the earthern floor. In the feeding manger sleeping peacefully, lay an infant wrapped in sheep skin, beside him sat his mother, and looking proudly down was the father. Seated in casual positions on the rough ground were the shepherd children. They were dressed in simple cotton smocks; one held the tether of a munching cow, while another that of a sleepy old burro. W e took our places amongst the farm folk and waited. Somewhere a bell tinkled and the Spanish priest came in, dressed for Mass, he looked at us and smiled happily.
On a large flat stone he began the Latin Mass of Christmas. At frequent intervals he paused and talked to the people in thier own language telling them the simple story of the Nativity which they knew and loved like children, drawing their attention to the babe in the manger and his Mother and Father and the shepherds. The soft shadows cast by the flickering candles, the innocent beauty of the young faces gazing earnestly at the infant, and the sound of rustling straw and restless hooves and soft voices in prayer, created an atmosphere so intense, that when we walked through the shepherds to the stone altar to recieve Communion, we were filled with an overpowering love of God. There were no three wise men carrying gold, frankincense and myrrh, that Christmas but in their place came strangers searching for the roots of their faith and finding them in a cave where it had all begun some 2000 years ago

The creative arts of music, drama, visual arts and dance are needed if liturgical celebrations are "not to kill with boredom, pedantic rubrics and lack of imaginative preparation," says Anne Byrne. A nne coordinated t he Brisbane archdiocesan Liturgical Commission's music for Psalms competition. In these summary comments, she suggests, among other things, the possibility of diocesan financial a ssistance to allow t alented people to train in the arts.
The Brisbane archidiocesan Liturgical C ommission, which conducted the competition, timed the annoucement of the winners with the feast of St Cecilia, patron saint of musicians. Father Peter Waters, 38, of Melbourne, began an early apprenticeship in sacred music when the Sisters of Mercy, at the parish primary school in Melbourne's Pascoe Vale, encouraged him to apply for a scholarship to St Patrick's Cathedral School. The young Waters, then in Grade IV, won the scholarship and for the next four years attended the school, conducted by t he Christian Brothers, and sang in the cathedral choir. The choirmaster was the archdiocesan director of music, t he Reverend Dr Percy Jones, one of M elbourne's most distinguished musicians. Being a member of the c hoir meant rehearsals e ach morning before school, the singing of High Mass in the cathedral on Sundays, as well as the night office on Sunday evenings. "Dr Jones gave me a g reat love of music," Father Waters recalled. "He had a very urbane approach to music. It was not rigid or stereotyped. "He taught me a lot about 16th century music which included Gregorian chant, a staple part of Church music at that time, and the works of the great Renaissance composers, such as

Mrs Bonighton has been producing a steady output of both sacred and secular music since her student days at Melbourne University's Conservatorium of Music, where she graduated as a Bachelor of Music. Her religious music includes Masses for the Anglican rite, a considerable amount of composition for special occasions, and Psalms. Her choice of Psalm for the contest was Psalm 41, with the antiphon: My soul is thirsting for the living God. Her recent secular works have included two fine song cycles, composed for s equences of Japanese poems. One of the song cycles, Aki No Shi (Poems o f Autumn), was composed for a special orchestral concert in Ballarat during Music '81, a yearlong festival sponsored by the Victorian Ministry of t he Arts to encourage music in the community. Much of her composition has been choral, vocal or organ music. The organ, particularly, has played a major part in her musical up-bringing. Her father, Mr Leighton Turner, is the only provincial -based pipe organ builder in Victoria. He and Mrs Turner, also a skilled organ technician, travel t hroughout central and
western Victoria maintaining and tuning organs in churches of many denominations. Mr Turner for some years has been building a pipe organ for himself in his Ballarat workshop, but his work on church organs has not allowed him time to finish the job. Mrs Bonighton has inherited some of her father's interest in musical instrument construction. She has almost finished building her own harpsichord.
Mrs Bonighton has been the organist at a number of Anglican churches in Ballarat and Melbourne. A t present, she is the organist at St John's C hurch, Soldiers Hi l l, Ballarat. She also has had a long a ssociation with choral m usic. For some four years during her student days in Melbourne she was a member of the Canterbury Fellowship Choir, one of Melbourne's top Church choirs, based at M elbourne University's Trinity College Chapel. Mrs Bonighton said that there was -a considerable need for the composition of new music for use by the Anglican Church in Australia because of the
change of language introduced with the production o f the new Austral ian Prayer Book in 1979. There was a special need for new Masses, although some English composition had been adapted for use i n Austral ia. She has written a Mass for the new prayer book rite, and this has been sung at her own church on several occasions this year. "The Psalm contest will prove a very good incentive for Church music composition, but I bel ieve the A ustral ian Churches s hould also be giving thought to commissioning reputable Australian composers to write music," she said. " Much of the great Church music of earlier times was commissioned, but you have tc be careful who you ask to write this type of music. "You cannot write sacred music unless you have the faith. Possibly one of the reasons why there is such a shortage of new Church music is that there are so f ew composers with a religious commitment.Mrs Bonighton considers some of the new music, particularly the music for the Psalms, could be interchangeable between the C atholic and Anglican liturgies.

How a priest feels
1 01
by FATHER R OBERT SHERRY NC News Service. Christmas so sparks a child's imagination — almost any miracle seems possible. If a jolly, whitebearded old man can squeeze through a chimney in the middle of a starry, snowy night, then even God could come to earth in the likeness of a newborn infant. C hristmas lights up o ne's dreams. Stars merge and wink in highest heaven, regal magi camel across countries, angels rejoice. The long-awaited one has come. This night brings presents and presence. We want it all to last, as we want our dreams to last. Our friends helped us to recover when the dreams we centred around Santa Clause dissolved. But we need leaders to bolster more adult dreams. We need the friend who says, "Don't quit now. W hen you lose your dream, you're dead." At the Christmas liturgy, the priest is amazed at the i ncreased number of people he sees. People, young and less young, come to dream of what new heavenly gift will brighten their eyes this year. A priest longs to renew the ageless hope in all people, both by his presence and by God's word. The priest dreams too. Christmasrevealsaperennial hope. He feels the tension between what we have and what we want, between what is real and what can come treetesnorrow. He always hungers for more — mere peace, more joy, more lasting love. Each time a new priest is assigned to a parish, people hope with a Christmas hope he will resemble the Messiah in thought, word and lifestyle. But few priests image the loftiness of the Christ some never come close. Few can capture or tree* late the awe aid simplicity of the Christmas story. Christmas imagery can l eave any dreamer winded. The miracle of Christmas is God sent His son. The miracle of a priest's new assignment is someone has come again to witness openly to the light of the world. The priest is not the light but, like Ober', tries to witness to the light. This new age cries out for new Christmas people — ministers who ca. take the best of the past and reflect it sift the best of the present and promote It, gaze into the %hire and create it. The priest at Christmas knows the present is not the past. He knows some of the present is clouded in confusion andantinos. But he also knows If we lose our dreams, we grope in dead daftness too. Christ as high priest inspired dreams. He inspired hearts and imagination by preaching that the kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, a barmiest, a window, a king — images that excited people because they lived the images He preached. Christmas for a priest is a display of hope full led and love made flesh. For the priest, too, Christmas is a mustard seed of hope blessomisi igniteessa great tree of II t• a banquet of gifts mix to be consumed; a window singularly finding room for all strangers.

If the Catholic Church is to spread Christianity in an efficient and effective meaningful programme which will ultimately have a bearing on decision making, it will have to employ modern techniques, including public relations. "What a wonderful world it would be if even only the majority of people made decisions motivated by Christ's teachings," he said. "But to be ableto make such decisions people must know what Christ taught and, of equal importance, know how to apply His teachings to today's world. -This is a mind-boggling concept to those without faith and to those with faith it is obvious that it will not be achieved in their lifetime but now is the time to start such a programme and public relations can be the medium for it.-
PR if Church is to achieve aims ElKeith Owen Murray was born in Perth on November 7, 1917. His mother, Dorothy Owen Murray, a schoolteacher, met his father, Keith Murray, at Lake Hines when she was in her first year out of teachers training college. Keith senior left farming to study for the Church of England priesthood at the Cloisters in St George's Terrace He and two other priests, immediately joined the Alf-. They were all killed in France and they are commemorated by the Soldiers' Chapel in St George's Cathedral, in Perth. Keith junior was born after his father sailed to France. Keith senior never saw his son. From six years of age, Keith junior attended the Guildford Grammar School. At the age of 16 he started as a copy boy on The West Australian. Eight years later he saw service in the RAAF for five years. He worked in all facets of journalism until 1960 when, as an A -grade journalist, he left the newspaper to take a public relations position as the inaugural director of the Timber Development Association. After 11 years he accepted a position with the Australian Lumber Co (ALCO) as their public relations and personnel manager. He retired from ALCO in 1979 and was the inaugural editor of the Corridor Courier newspaper at Rockingham for four months. A fter that he worked as a part-time sub-editor on The Sunday Times and as public relations consultant. In 1981 he was employed by the Record as their layout sub-editor, a position he held for two years until he and his wife moved to Albany. Always deeply concerned with the need for professionalism in the public relations industry, he served on the WA council of the Public Relations Institute of Australia (WA) for 10 years, was president in 1979 and 1980 and a federal councillor from 1979 to 1981. This year he received the Colin Waldon Memorial Awardin recognition of a most significant contribution in the field of public relations in WA. He also was awarded life membership of the institute, an honour bestowed on only one other member in WA.
Keith said there were many definitions of public relations but it was important to define at the outset of this interview what was meant by this so often misused term and then to consider how the Church could use the art in its work. The most commonly acceptable definition of public relations was: The deliberate, planned and sustained effort to e stablish and maintain mutual understanding between an organisation and its public. "In short, public relations means communicating with others," said Keith.
' NWOP/P" S ome churches were successfully employing al l public relations techniques today. Their successes could be measured by their growth r ates. However, the two major denominations, the Catholic and Anglican churches had been slow to employ these techniques. "Christ was a great communicator. He used the only medium then available to spread His message — face to face dialogue. He travelled extensively and spoke to people be they in ones or twos or hundreds. He was a well-dressed orator and used amazing miracles to capture the minds of men so that he could convert their hearts to the ways of God. "Our spiritual leaders today, while they work no amazing miracles, know that to communicate they too must travel and speak to all men. What better examples than the pope and the great evangelist Billy Graham," Keith said. But the world into which Christ brought His message was a vastly different world than it is today. It was smaller, He brought the undiluted word of God His Father and delivered it in a captivating manner to a public already awaiting the coming of the Messiah. Today Christian leaders faced a cacophony of divergent interests battling for the attention of the public and offering material inducements to capture their minds. "In the face of such organised pressures, it is no wonder that church attendances are declining. But I believe that if you can't lick 'em you should join em" Keith laughed. He did not suggest the offer of material inducements but affirmed the necessity for the Church to embark on a deliberate, planned and sustained effort from the grass roots up using every available modern technique used by those wresting the minds of people from Christ's teachings. 'The appointment of a media officer to gain free press plugs is not the answer. Admittedlythisform of freeadvertising has its place in a comprehensive programme but it has limited results.
The Record, December 23— 29, 1983
This is the belief of Keith Murray, a p ublic relations practitioner, who this year retired from the staff of The Record newspaper and was a warded life membership of the Public Relations Institute of Australia (WA).
"It must be remembered that the media's role is to report news and that does not embrace Christian philosophy," Keith said. 'The only way to achieve a meaningful public relations programme is to employ independent professionals who accept that communication is a two-way business and will, as a result, first listen before speaking." Asked how the Church should go about employing public relations to assist with its evangelism, Keith said it should first develop terms of reference which should be developed by ecclesiastics and laityas guidelines for the public relations consultants. "As with any public relations programme, the starting point is to investigate the client's operation. In this case the consultants would be asking, among other things, what is the Church's image? How effective is its programme in the eyes of the public?" What is the Church doing successfully to attract and hold people? What does it do to repel people? What are the needs of its public? Keith said other factors to be considered with all these questions were the differing needs of age groups, the types of public such as committed Catholics, non-committed Catholics, non-Catholics and so on. Only after in-depth research of this nature would it be 'possible to define the needs of the various public which the Church wished to influence.
Only then would it be possible to set objectives for the programme. "These objectives must be realistic, achievable, measurable and specific," Keith said. He envisaged a programme which would work through and be supported by every person in the Church, with responsibilities clearly defined and actions initiated in line with the objectives. "Because it would be designed to meet the needs of the people, it would not be a static programme but would be one

in which results were continaully reviewed and lead to appropriate initiatives. "It is puzzling why the Church can start with such a perfect product to solve all men's problems, yet after nearly 2000 years millions will still not buy the product," Keith observed. "Could it be that we have failed to communicate it efficiently? "Could it be that the Church will have a 100 per cent successful public relations programme only when every Catholic is a public relations practitioner for His Church?"
LONDON — An enormous furore is building over a portrait of the Queen — commissioned by the UK Post Office. The offending picture of Her Majesty appears on every stamp sold by the Post Office over 100,000 counters up and down the country. It shows her as a young girl with a dress almost off the shoulder wearing a crown at a rather jaunty angle. Says art expert Quentin Portfolio, "We all know that the Queen is in late middle age, with the dignified wrinkles and laugh lines that entails. Yet here she is, as a sort of Sloane Ranger off to the Hunt Ball. The palace has weathered the storm by claiming they have not seen the offending stump. "Actually, we frank our outgoing mail here," said a spokesman, "and incoming mail is taken out of its envelope berfore we ever see it. Sol haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about. But rest assured, if we had something to say on the subject, we wouldn't say it,,.

A strong The purpose in Christmas message
A procession, which had left Jerusalem on foot at noon on Christmas Eve, moves through the courtyard of the 4th century Basilica of the Nativity into Manger Square. Suzanne Elsesser recalls her pilgrimage to Bethleham and the Christmas gifts she and her companions had received.
An important discovery By Suzanne Elsesser "Are Sarah's legs long enough for a t wo -wheeler this year?" " Jerry always thanks us a lot for the flannel shirts we give him, but I don't think I've ever seen one on him." "Pop-pop's tough. Are there any tools he doesn't have for his garden?" "How late are the stores open this year? D o you think we could eat early so I can run out after supper?" "I'm not sure just how far this Christmas Club money is going to go. I hate spending so much, but Christmas is Christmas and you've gottodoit. Particularly for the kids." I worked once with a Benedictine sister who was surprised when I told her how much work Christmas was for me: the presents, the endless shopping,thedecora tions, the multitude of errands, the children's stockings, the 16
cards and the tree. Her preparation was one of prayer and peace. I envied her ability to avoid the frantic rush and focus on the importance of the season. Last summer I was fortunate to experience some of that peace and reflect on the true gifts that my sister friend knows so well during a trip to the Holy Land. In celebrating future Christmases, I hope to retain some of the lessonsI learned then. I journeyed to the Holy Land with staff members from the South Bronx Pastoral Center where I work. There, in the middle of July, we gathered for Mass in the area of Bethlehem. The early morning temperature already had reached the mid90s as we looked over the stone-covered, barren fields outside Bethlehem where the gospel writers say the angel announced Jesus' birth to the shepherds. The scene was very beautiful with its fields and
gentle, beige -coloured hills. In a valley a few shepherd boys with large sticks as crooks could be seen escorting their flocks into the fields for the day. Leaving that scene behind, we went into a large cave that had been made into a chapel for visiting pilgrims. Immediately, the temperature was at least 20 degrees cooler. The cave was, as it had been in the time of Jesus, a refuge from the intense daytime heat or the deep night cold that comes in desert lands. O ur small group from New York gathered on each side of a simple stone altar and there, in the middle of summer, began our celebration by singing "0 Little Town of Bethlehem" and "Hark the Heralds Angels Sing." We smiled across the chapel at each other. How funnyto be singing Christmas carols in July. How lovely to be singing them in Bethlehem. We prayed. Weal!

were thankful. We remembered the gifts of caring parents, children who brought immense pleasure, friends we could talk with, a faith and Church that united us No one said a thing
about the other kinds ofgiftsthatcanpreoccupy us at Christmas. God gave us that day a lovely occasion on which we could speak of and celebrate the gifts of true importance.
By Father James A. Black During the Christmas season, the Church selects scripture readings from the sections of the Gospels known as -the infancy narratives." There are only two infancy narratives to be found in the gospel accounts: One is in Matthew, the other in Luke. The two accounts contain significant differences. Matthew's account mentions Joseph and his espousal to Mary. Matthew describes the violence of Herod against the children of Nazareth. He tells of the magi who followed a star. Luke describes the kinship between Mary and Elizabeth, the appearance of angels to the shepherds at Bethlehem and the birth of Jesus in a stable. In all their details, the two authors were trying to present information that was more significant than biographical detail. Instead, they were trying to say something important about who Jesus was. Matthew: Matthew opened his narrative with a genealogy of Jesus. His audience was largely composed of Christian converts from Judaism. Such a genealogy would have been important to them because one of Jesus' ancestors was King David. You might remember that God made a promise to David: From David's line would come the Messiah. The circumstances surrounding the birth of Jesus are found in Matthew 1:18-25. This brief passage contains more of the New Testament statements about Joseph. Chapter 2 of Matthew relates the coming of the magi — symbols of the gentile world — to see Jesus. Herod's reaction to Jesus' birth is also described. His intent, obviously, was to eliminate Jesus as soon as possible. Herod viewed Jesus as a threat to the throne. Luke: The first two chapters of Luke also contain an infancy narrative. Luke described the Annunciation, perhaps an event unknown to Matthew. Luke also described the circumstances surrounding the birth of John the baptiser. Some remarkable similarities can be found when comparing the infancy narratives in Luke with several Old Testament stories in which a child was born through God's intervention. Three come immediately to mind: the angel's announcement to Sarah about Isaac's birth in Genesis 17; the similar announcement to Samson's mother in Judges 13:2; the announcement of Samuel's impending birth in 1 Samuel 1. The Old Testament accounts all involve elderly women who could hardly bear children under normal circumstances. But Mary was young, engaged to be married. She asked how she could be the mother of God's son. Upon hearing the angel's response, she professed her willingness to be a part of God's plan. The traditional story of the birth of Jesus — the Gospel used at Midnight Mass — is found in Luke 2:1-14. There as so many differences between the accounts in Matthew and Luke that we'll never know in specific detail what happened at Jesus' birth. But each evangelist wanted to make clear one indisputable fact, no matter how he chose to express it: God became man. God Himself came down from heaven to become one with us. That is indeed a fact worth celebrating.
B y Father David K. O 'Rourke, OP I think of Christmas and my thoughts turn as much to the past as to the present. For me, as for many others, the holidays are a time of memories. Today, a beautiful day, with t he first frosts of winter silvering the golden California hills in which I live, my mind keeps drifting back to my first Christmas as a priest. Twenty-one years ago I spent Christmas Eve on the sidelines in an intensive-care unit, w atching helplessly as a medical team fought to save the life of a child. The young daughter of friends, she has scampered out into the street, into the path of a car. The doctors did what they c ould. now she lay there completely wrapped in bandages.
I stayed there as long as I could. But before midnight I had to leave because I had a church full of people waiting for Midnight Mass. She died not long after. As so many others were celebrating the birth of Christ, my friends lost their baby. An inappropriateand disconcerting image at this time of year? For me it certainly is, for I love Christmas and its celebrations. My friends only half-jokingly accuse me of having an absolutely dickens i an attitude during the holidays as they watch me garland the church, arrange parties and cook up one dinner after another. No subsurface drear in these quarters, Christmas always has been my favourite time of year. Yet this image from the past remains with me, even to
A t Christmas we recall the birth of Jesus, 2000 years ago. "The nativity appeals to us," Father David K. O'Rourke writes, "because it celebrates something so simple, and so common to all human history. In this celebration of birth, and the realisation of our hope that life will continue, we also can reaffirm our belief that all life, even when begun under painful circumstances, is special ."
he days for business as usual By Gabe Huck Like most other tribes, the Christian people have waited. We have waited, and called those waiting days "Advent." We have waited to tell the stories and sing the songs and pray the prayers. We have waited to put into word the melody and procession all that we want to stake our lives on: thisplace, this earth, thisfiesh — God's dwelling place. Before there were theologies for Christmas, there were stories. Around the stories there came to be festivity. The stories were not histories or documentaries. They were tales told about a birth by people who had to see everything through the other end of life, the death in which Jesus triumphed. Andso thepeople toldofa womanfrom Galilee called Mary who, as the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins wrote: "Gave God's infinity "Dwindled to infancy " Welcome in womb and breast, "Birth, milk, and the rest. . ." There was a birth. There was the
bursting of waters, pushing, cutting cord, fondly wrapping. There wasparting at the beginning, as at every beginning. Andnot only, the stories tell, the blood of birth spilled, but other blood, the world's most innocent blood in the death of the innocents. It is a true story being told, for that, we know, is the way it goes, the way it went, the way it will go: We've allknownkings like Herod. It 'spractically a prerequisite for the job: "Sure, somebody's going to get hurt — afew lives lost, but isn't it worth it?" It comes with the territory. But then consider how the medieval drama called "The Play of Herod" ends. We see the escape to Egypt, the hasty retreat of the magi, then the intrusion of the military into the village and, as the children are put to death, the biblical wailing of Rachel who would not be comforted because her children are no more. But this is not the end of the play. Did the medieval authors somehow invent a happy ending? Nothing of the kind. The ending is not happy. It is a great mystery.
For there is a " Te Deum"sung: "Wepraise you, God, we confess you as Lord." The greatest chant of praise and thanksgiving. This is sung by Mary and Joseph, processing through the audience. But they are joined in their song and procession by the animals and the angels, by the shepherds, by the lamenting Rachel and the parents of Bethlehem, and they arejoinedby the soldiers and their victims and by Herod. They allprocess andallsingpraise. And we sing too, finding ourselves in the procession. Today we can't imagine it. We take our Christmas with lots of sugar. And we take it in a day. Though we've been baptised into His death, we have little time for or patience with how that death is told at Christmas, a death that forever confuses lament andpraise. Andno wonder we are careful to keep Christmas at arm's length. What is Herod in these times? "0 the night of the weeping children "0 the night of the children brandedfor death
"Sheep may not enter here. . . " Yesterday mother still drew "Sleep toward them like a white moon. . . "Now blows the wind of dying, "Blows the shifts over the hair " That no one will comb again." (From "0 the Chimneys, "by Nelly Sachs (New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux.) Not about Bethlehem but about A uschwitz. Or maybe about anyplace the world's Herods (include us in) have wandered. From the year's news of 1983: How many places, how many innocents? Where is that mystery in our Christmas, the mystery that is only the victorious cross? It is right there in the stories we tell, the carols we sing, the gifts we give and cards we write, the time we take to process through the dozen days from Christmas to Epiphany, the many ways we have to whisper to one another that the days are numberednowfor the world's business as usual. Somehow, some way, we are going to join hands and take theprocession allover this earth.
the details of faces and dress. The impressions of an impressionable and newly ordained priest? Perhaps. But this image also remains because of its challenge.
At Christmas we recall the birth of Jesus 2,000 years ago. The nativity story appeals to us, I suspect, because it c elebrates something so simple, and so common to all
human history. In this celebration of birth, and the realisation of our hope that life will continue, we also can reaffirm our belief that all life, even when begun under painful circumstances, is special. This nativity scene is something we can all understand.
But it marks only the beginning. And this is where the challenge comes in. What is
ultimately so special about this birth is its purpose. .The purpose comes to the fore not so much at the birth of Jesus as at His death and resurrection. We Christians celebrate Christmas so joyfully because we know who is being born, and why, and where that birth leads us all. That knowledge of life's purpose which we celebrate at
Christmas goes by another name. It is called faith.
It is faith, a faith which tells us that the child born 2,000 years ago truly was the eternal word of God become human like us, that gives our celebration of Christmas the quality it has. For it is that birth that gives our lives their hope and their purpose.
It's all gift-wrapped By Bob Dylak It's OK to give Christmas presents. About this time of y ear we may need that a ffirmation because some otherwise good and kindly people try to convince us that gift giving demeans the spirit of Christmas. That can happen. but it doesn't have to. Love is the reason people do most of the thingsthey do at Christmas time. And lots of us count on a gift to somehow express our a ffections, because w hen it comes to expressinglove,our society is pretty primitive. A friend helped me put this into some perspective a few years ago as we shopped in a hardware store (they sell everything in some of those places). Lastminute shoppers were busily gathering games off the shelves. "What people are really buying is love," he said. A ware that he had a r ather dry sense of humour,I waited for a punch line. "How's that?"I finally asked. "Most of those folks willnever get around to playing those games with their kids. They know a lot of the games will be lost or broken a few weeks after the holidays. But they see these things advertised on television and the c ommercials show families playing games together. "Everybody's happy. Nobody's fighting or shouting. The little kids aren't accusing each other of cheating . Everybody wants that kind of family. They buy the games and hope their family will find that kind of instant happiness. "But it's a substitute for love. It's not the real thing." I thought awhile before answering. "Maybe it's not so different. Sure, people want families to be fun. They want to be together and they want to be happy — especially at C hristmas. That's good." In response to his shrug. I pointed out that just buying those kinds of things was an effort at communicating care. "They're saying. This is what 1
hope for us. This is what I'd like," It seemed to me that underneath all the wrapping and tinsel was a message that people were struggling to give. "There are people who think the whole idea is commercial. They don't see any good in it. There are also people who measure the holiday in terms of the gifts thay accumulate. They're wrong — and they're a minority." You don't have to give or get a gift at Christmas to know that you
are loved. But it helps if you are able somehow to give one. Most of us know that Christmas is the best time to tell the people around us we love them. We don't give t hat message often enough. You can't possibly d ump a sufficient amount of love on people — especially children — in a set time and expect it to last for days, weeks or months. That's like setting aside five minutes for pettin
a puppy and wondering w hy it comes back 10 minutes later. Loving is easier than explanations. That's why a lot of us give gifts. We want family, friends and neighbours to know that we care. The words we want to say somehow don't fit together in our minds and sound
strange in our mouths. The miracle of Christmas is that it makes us want very much to say them. So if you get my present, even if it's tacky or t he wrong size, it doesn't matter. What I'm trying to give is some of myself. Love is truly the best thing each of us has to offer. .A lot of us just don't know exactly how to wrap it.
A Salvadoran mother in a Honduran refugee camp holds her child close as she ponders their uncertain future. Her humble surroundings might be akin to those of Mary and her child when she gave birth in the stable.

Jean O'Brien (nee Harford) was born in Perth, the youngest of nine children. She was born four months after the death of her father and was not expected to survive untilher sister wrappedher in cotton wool and fed her brandy. It certainly gave her the charge she needed. She is now 74 and still full of fun. Educated by the Sisters of Mercy at Victoria Square, with A rchbishop Goody as a schoolmate, she was an enthusiastic member of the Catholic Young Ladies club and a keen musician, playing the piano at many weddings and church functions over the years. She marriedJoe O'Brienin 1942 and the couple had three daughters Annette, born in 1943, Elaine, borne in 1945 andMoira, born in 1951. Annette is a teacher, married with two sons aged 18 and 19; Elaine works with Foreign Affairs and has had stints in Washington and London and Moira is with Woodside Petroleum. Jean O'Brien was a long-serving member of the staff ot The Record, from 1925 to her marriage in 1942. Here she looks back at the way it was.
How about a job Ginger? How about a job, Ginger? These were the words that started the young Jean H arford (now O'Brien) on a 17 year stint with The Record. H er brother, who worked as a machinist at the paper, thought she might like to work a few hours a week for pocket money, but it soon became a full-time job. It was 1925, she was just 15, and her bright, auburn hair soon became a trademark for the newspaper's Hay Street offices. "If you could call them offices,"shelaughed."In a door, up a couple of steps ... in what they used to call the stables." Jean is now 74 and while the hair may no longer be bright auburn, hermemoriesarecertainly as bright as ever. "And they're all good ones," she said, "I loved my time with The Record". "I remember, Miss Lucas was in the office when I started. There was a table, chair and a typewriter. Old, rotting floorboards and cobwebs but we still managed to get a paper out.
A regular feature by U0S1_ UOSS "Mr Slattery was the editor. He sat at his desk and smoked a pipe. The compositor was Arthur Hilliard who later enlisted, much to the dismay of management. "Percy Davidson was the linotype machinist and I used to go to the shop each day to get two bottles of milk for Percy. We used to take the flame out of the lino to light a small jet so we could make tea. "There was a fireplace in the room and we used to get wood from the 'palace' so we could keep warm in winter. It was really freezing," she said. The paper in those days consisted of four to eight pages. It came out once a week, printed on Thursday for the princely sum of threepence.
Young Jean soon found herself on the folder, f eeding the paper through as she perched on a stool, sitting for hours on a cement floor
lings. Before long, she was needed for more than just odd jobs. "Later I helped with the proof reading and then I was in charge of mailing," she said. Many of the copies were distributed by mail with Jean doing battle with a cumbersome old addressograph machine and such classifications as 'second north roads, first GSR, second GSR, first south, second south and so on...' "If anyone missed their R ecord it was on my head," grinned Jean. "We all got into the wrapping then, equipped with a huge pot of glue."

"That was around the time he was starting the 'bushies' scheme," she said. "He had been to America not long before and I remember him telling us that the Americans had been surprised to hear he was from Australia because they throught all Australians were black.

When she started working full-time at the Record Jean was earning about 11/ 6 a week — by the time she left her wage had risen to the
'boding in summer andfreezing in winter — we had to go out the door and down the back to wash our hands in a filthy basin' which more often than not was in a need of a good scrub.

'Then there was Father Winston. He vvasthe one nobody could get on with. He was dreadful. At one time there was a bit of strife over pay and t he unions were involved. He said he wasn't going to put up with any unionism. "He used to stand on the balcony of the 'palace' and if we were late arriving for work he would really give it to us. "I remember one day he had obviously had enough, not that we were really late that often, and he came in and told us he had ordered watches for everyone. Luckily I had one a lready, because of course he expected us to pay for them. 'Then there was Father 'Raff' who later became Bishop Rafferty, and Keith Spruhan. He was good but he had his 'ups' and downs. "We had been at school together in Vic. Square," she said. Conditions were a bit primitive, says Jean, but no-one minded too much. "To go to the toilet," she said, "and there was only one, we had to go out the door and up the side.

R ev Doctor O'Heriihy used to ride his bike in from Bayswater to deliver the parish news and sit o n to chat with the editor, sipping tea by the pot-bellied stove. One of her favourite faces recalled from the past was that of Jack Moynihan, the Archbishop's chaffeur. " They had an old Essex in those days," Jean said, "and Jack used to drive up and say, 'Father Kelly has given me the car tonight to take you home from work, but there's no boys allowed.' The names and the f aces merge with the y ears, of boi l ing summers and freezing winters, laboriously saddle stapling each issue and heading home ink -stained each night for a well earned bath. In those years the bales of newspaper were kept in the cellar of the 'palace', she said. (The 'palace' was the original bishop's house, built by the Benedictines and added to many times over the years to become what is now, the cathedral presbytery.)

John Elgar O'Mahony, JP, retired bank manager, was born in Perth and educated at St Joseph's Convent, Subiaco, Sacred Heart Primary School, Highgate, and St Ildephonsus College, New Norcia. He joined the Commonwealth Bank toward the end of 1935 and retired in September, 1979, as manager of the Cottesloe branch. He was an original member of the 2/7th Field Regiment of the AIF, sailed for the Middle East in April, 1940, was wounded at the battle of El Alamain, returned to Australia with the Ninth Division in February, 1943, and finished his war service as a warrant-officer at Tarakan in Borneo in 1945. John and his wife Patricia (nee Prendiville, niece of the late archbishop) are members of the Holy Spirit parish at Wembley Downs and were parishioners of Our Lady of Victories church at Wembley for 18 years when they lived in Floreat Park. Their children are Judith (33), an educational psychologist; Bret (30), a doctor who is an anaesthetics registrar at Royal Perth Hospital; Maree (28), a physiotherapist and manipulative therapist in Melbourne; and Gary (26), another doctor who is at present overseas.
It wasthe night of October 23, 1942, and the historical battle of El Alamein — held by many to have been the turning point of World War II — had just started and the Allies had let fly with the heaviest artillery barrage warfare had seen. Warrant -Officer John O 'Mahony, of the AIF's 2/ 7th Field Regiment in what Winston Churchi l l described after the victorious battle as "the glorious Ninth Division, - was in position. He crouched in his slit t rench about 20 yards behind the gun pits from which the two 25 -pounders he commanded were contributing to the deafening cacophony of the battle's opening phase.
From a to the desert
The German counter -battery fire from t he 88 -millimetres a nd other assorted pieces was as prompt a nd accurate as usual. John and his mates were grateful f or the protection they had dug in mother earth. He had been feeling a bit off-colour for some time, and the pain in his stomach was getting worse.

He vomited as he lapsed into semi-consciousness. Then he made an error, of which he has only the haziest recollection, that could well have cost him his life He staggered out of his slit trench into the hail of bursting shells and was knocked flat to the ground.

First, he had been hit in the right hip by what must have been a hefty lump of shrapnel which, had it been inches to the right, would have ploughed into his stomach with fatal consequences; second, his appendix had burst in the slit trench and several inches of bowel had to be removed because of the gangrene resulting from the peritonitis.

A regular feature By BOB BOYLE served on rusty plates straight from tins could well have caused hospitalisation rather than being served to patients. After more than a week when he got back to the 2/ 6th Australian General Hospital at Alexandria the nurses could not believe how dirty he was. Later, in the 2/7th AGH at Gaza, a doctor asked him during the surgical cleaning up that was necessary whether the operation at El Alamein had been carried o ut with a spade or a bayonet Nonetheless, but for the surgery done by those British doctors in appalling conditions he might not have been here today. John is one of the sons of
the late Elgar O'Mahony who was second-in-charge o f the State Education Department with the then title of Chief Aministrative Officer. E lgar, who was most active in parish affairsat St Joseph's in Subiaco, was a lso diocesan minute secretary of the Holy Name Society. From Sacred Heart Primary School, John won two scholarships One entitled him to continue his education at Perth Modern School. The second, which he took, qualified him for five years' education at St Ildephonsus Col lege at New Norcia as a boarder. Scholarships of such generosity are rare today. Hehadaclassmatein Sub -

In 1938 he qualified as an a ccountant, and in the same year he joined the militia artillery in the Third Field Brigade. From its camp at Naval Base he enlisted in the AIF's 2/7th Field Regiment in April 1940.

Only last year the couple v isited the Prendevi l le ancestral home, Cordal, at Castleisland in Kerry to be greeted by the present owner, Gerald Prendiville.
The sole survivor of the archbishop's brothers and sisters is Mother Lawrence, of the Dominican convent at Doubleview. In 1948 -49John travelled between Fremantle and Melbourne as a bank officer on migrant ships that had come from overseas. One of these early trips was a bit shaky. He arrived at Fremantle to find the ship that he was to board, the Empire Brent, listing drunkenly against t he wharf and looking anything but seaworthy. They got straightened up and the worn-out old vessel set off for Melbourne. Off Albany one of her two engines broke down but her skipper, appropriately n amed Captain James Cook, pressed on. The next day the other engine conked -out, and they drifted powerless in the Bight in mid-winter seas.
Their peril lasted for some time before they were able to get one of the engines r e-started, and they limped through the Bight and all the way to Port Adelaide with bare steerage-way. There, to add to the joys of life, they were stuck on t he ship in the Outer Harbour because the berthing crews were on strike. John and his bank companion ultimately got off the ship by launch after a hairy descent — clutching t heir cases, money tins and other paraphernalia — down a rope ladder in heaving seas.
It F‘tOP)/ 7" Before he resumed this shipping lark in 1959-62, John had wisely studied Italian and even his little knowledge of the language proved to be handy subsequently when he was dealing with migrants. Now the ships went to S ydney instead of Melbourne, the Commonwealth Bank crew aboard had been increased from t wo to three, and John was in charge. His sea -going days ended in 1962 when the bank opened its Osborne Park branch and hewasappointed its first manager. Later he managed the West Perth branch, and in 1973 he became manager of the Cottesloe branch, the position from which he r etired in September, 1979. I n peace and war, it seems, John was destined to be in the thick of the action.
The Catholic Women's League (NSW) has suggested church, school and civic bells be rung at noon everyday to call people to pray for peace. A t their recent Sydney Archdiocesan conference the league resolved to promote the recital of the Angelus at midday each day, followed by the intercession — "Our Lady Queen of Peace Pray For Us". The state president of the Catholic Women's League, Mrs Esther Doyle said: "We members of the Catholic Women's League are confident Our Blessed Lady will prevail upon our world leaders so their efforts will really turn to making peace, not war. 'We invite everyone of every faith to join us in this daily prayer. "For those who are not familiar with the Angelus, pray in your own special way. "We would suggest bells (church, school and civic) be rung each day at midday to remind everyone it is time to join the Catholic women in their daily appeal to the Mother of God. 'We appeal especially to our parish priests and to school principals to begin this practice. "Hopefully the movement will spread across our country and out to all the world and a climate of peace will finally be established in the hearts and minds of every one of Christ's family — we will truly be men of good will and really attain that peace promised at the birth of Our Saviour."

Good wishes to all.... Passing exams, getting a job, and the possibility of war were the main concerns of 1000 students recently surveyed by the Australian YCS movement. A wide range of students, from both Catholic and state schools, members and non-members of YCS, from six states, were asked to list their concerns and the matters they most frequently discussed with friends. Closely connected with their concern about getting better marks and passing exams was concern about the future. Many listed getting a job as their uppermost concern, along with the prospect of unemployment. Personal concerns such as lack of leisure time and leisure facilities also scored high, as did the questions of relationships and friendship. Looking further outwards, the issue of poverty also figures in the minds of quite a number of students, as well as the big questions of war and peace. "The survey was initiated as a first step towards the 1984 National Conference," said Tim Tenbensel, national secretary of YCS. The National Conference has two main aims -- to provide training and support for the national leadership, and to assess and direct the life of the A ustralian YCS movement. To do both of these. YCS needs to know what students' main concerns are, and what the issues are in their lives. "We have decided to take the theme of the International Year of Youth (1985) which is Participation, Peace and Development, and apply it to student life and education," Tim continued. "The conference will take a closer look at school life
now, and such concerns as passing exams, ways of learning and relationships as well as looking at aspects of the students' lives not limited to present school life, and at life after school.
Tim Tenbensel "We hope to have guest speakers and workshops on some of these topics." The conference (which is Australian YCS's tenth national conference) will also try to assess how well
YCS groups have been incorporating these concerns into their meetings, and encourage further reflection and action by students in these important areas of their lives. In January, the national executive of YCS looked at the strength of student leadership and the extent and relevance of student action. The survey and the census, held at about the same t ime, provided much information on these two questions. Although some groups have not yet replied to the census, the Australian YCS team was delighted with the response to both the survey and the census, and has been able to piece together an up-todate picture of the strength and life of the Australian YCS. T he visits the team members made to various dioceses this year have also helped to fill out the picture. " An understanding of leadership has been reinforced at all levels in the movement," said Sister Liz Compton, reflecting on her visits to Tasmania,
The issues that face us Adelaide and Perth movements this year. "The qualities of an active concern for others and a commitment to p ersevere have been stressed, in addition to the normal leadership skills and the ideals of being involved in action for change, awarenesss, sensitivity and a love for others. The importance of a relationship with God — knowing that God loves each one of us and calls us to love each other — has also been given more prominence this year." Many groups have developed from a position of little action (usually limited to personal concerns) to a position where students expect to take action on their concerns, and have them reviewed next meeting. Mans' groups are
taking on a more outgoing quality, and are sharing t heir experiences with other groups. "Over the year, Melbourne students have been involved in a variety of actions," said Christina Coombe, who has worked with Melbourne YCS groups this year. Students who are ridiculed in class, the rise in transport fares, the pressures of final exams crammed together, the build-up of nuclear arms and Australia's part in the arms race, segregation and racism in the schools, family situations, lack of youth involvement in the parish have all been areas of concern for various Melbourne groups. Many of them have gone out of their way to befriend isolated and lonely sal-
hristina Coombe dents and bring them into a friendship circle. One parish group arranged three education nights for themselves on the nuclear arms question, and orga-
nised educational films to be shown at one of their schools. Another group got staff to co-operate in exam timetabling by putting a chart in the staff room to facilitate more reasonable and considerable timetabling. "It is certainly a powerful sign of hope that secondary students are prepared to take actions which are building a world of justice and peace as Jesus taught," Christina commented. As well as a consolidation of the movement in the capital cities, there was good growth this year in places as far apart as RockhamptonandGeraldton dioceses. Bunbury diocese now has a YCS full-time worker for the first time, and students in Brisbane. Sydney. Sale and Bunhury have set up

and to all a good year diocesan executives this year. This is always a sign of growth -- that a sense of diocesan and national unity is being built up. On Sepember 7, a white S outh African YCS worker, Catherine Hunter. was arrested in Johannesburg. No charges were laid, but she was kept in solitary confinement and denied access to legal advice. "We wrote to all our groups," said Father Gerry Gallagher, "and gave them as much information as we could about South Africa, conditions there, and what had hap-
pened to Catherine. Y CS members from many countries, including Australia, wrote to South Africa seeking reassurance about Catherine's safety and urging either a fair trial or her immediate release. We were delighted to hear on November 12 that she has been released." The December issue of Student Bulletin contains a report of the whole Catherine Hunter affair, and some information about student life in South Africa. (Student Bulletin - published quarterly by Australian YCS, G.P.O. Box 925B, Melbourne.
Subscription: $4 per annum.) "We are trying to develop a greater awareness in students of what is happeninglocally and internationally. YCS believes it has a duty to inform and educate its members about such incidents, and to encourage them to consider positive action in reponse," said Father Gallagher. Another source of information on student life, society and the Church in other countries is the World Council Report just published by YCS; TYCS and TCFA.

The next meeting of the Australian YCS executive was held recently in Adelaide. The executives reviewed the life of the movement this year and planned 1984's activities. It also reviewed this year's team of full-time workers (Tim Tenbensel, Sister Liz Compton, Father Gerry Gallagher and Christina Coombe) and received and considered applications for the 1984 team.

The house, simply decorated, is filled not with the sounds of television, radio or video games, but with traditional Christmas music, singing and laughter. Does that sound like the perfect Christmas scene? Though the elements of one's own "perfect" Christmas may differ, many yearn, hope and pray for a holiday season that fosters closer family ties and deepened rituals — a Christmas like they've never had before. The need becomes ever more heartfelt a s parents listen to children who seemingly parrot television advertisements promoting designer jeans. Faced with the desire to make this Christmas the happiest yet, but feeling Christmas celebrations have become festivals of overabundance, what can a parent do? A paperback book may provide clues for the parent trying to instill meaning and joy in the holy season.

Race Talk with Rod Evans CALA MAR wasthe most impressive winner from the mid-week provincials and he is now a clear cut Perth Cup favourite. This George Way trained galloper will be extremely hard to beat. HERRIOT put up a terrific first up run when he flew home to finish fifth behind top colt O'Connor at Ascot on Saturday. This gelding was having the first start of his career and it shouldn't take him long to break his maiden status. ALMARETTA showed he has come back to racing in fine fettle by his first up eigth to Turkish Prince in the Budget Minibus Welter. Almaretta finished fast from 13th on the turn and he will be. much harder to beat when the distances of his races increase as his forte is staying. K ILLAIRE was very impressive with her three lens win in the 3 yo Staying Handicap on Saturday. This game little filly outsprinted her rivals with ease and although she faces a steep class rise in the Australian Derby, she is not impossible, she will definitely win her share of races. ******************* In the true Christmas spirit, bookies will rub shoulders with punters when the racing fraternity gathers on January 1 for the Annual Racing Mass. As in previous years, the Mass will be held at St Ann's Church, Belmont, beginning at 6pm.

by FATHER LE LANDER. If our encounter with Jesus during the year is consistent, if we are genuinely conscious of the importance of religion, which for Catholics means Sunday Mass and the Sacraments, then our celebration of Christmas will be religious. In other words, at this celebration we will not be over mindful of the trappings and drapings, the festivity-making of puddings and presents, turkeys and hams, nuts and sweets, and the rest of the goodies of the festive season. They have a place and they are important. but they are not the event. A mother may have a pram hut of what use is it without a baby. The goodies are the pram. Babies are born into families; they belong to their parents. But Jesus was born into our family; He is our brother. God is His Father and Mary, His Mother. They are our parents also. For a long time people were speaking about this baby because he was foretold by the prophets. He would be King, the Prince of universal peace. And even though He said, "I come not to bring peace but the sword", His message was of peace but some would choose the sword. Many places today are drenched with blood from the ravages of war and its shadow is spreading, God help us. Why? Because the deeds of men are evil. And so long as people, nations and the leaders of men choose for the pram and not the baby, there is no hope of universal peace, which is the Christmas message. Jesus is our baby because He gave Himself to us. The great
eci
one who drives up to the Church in his Rolls Royce has no right to push aside the little child, or the grown-up, in tatters standing before the crib, because Jesus belongs equally to all. Christmas is a happy feast and we should all endeavor to feel happy even in the midst of problems. Children especially know how to be happy in their celebration and they •get so excited when they are able to enjoy the company of babies. But in any case, when festive-making on this happy occasion, it might be as well to remind ourselves, lest we forget, that the celebration is not about a pram but a baby.

New presbytery fulfills the dream' of Harvey pries 4„ The new presbytery...fulfilment of a dream, and....
A new Harvey presbytery beside the new church of Our Lady of the Immigrants is the fulfillment of a dream of the parish priest Father Caetano Crocetti. It is also the completion of the programme of anew set of parish builders comprising church, school,convent and presbytery. The first two room presbytery was built in the time of Father Frank Ryan, now in retirement at Glendaloug. The second presbytery was boughtfrom MrsMarkham for £3454 in 1951 during the time of the late Father W. Clery. Priests who occupied that presbytery include Fathers E . McSweeney, (1951 55), P Magni and Capuchins (1955-64), J McGrath
(1973-76), P. Magni(197778), B. !Morrison (197880) G Crocetti (1980-83). In January this year the H arvey Shire Council bought the former church and school for the arts council group and public use at a cost of S50,000. The school debts was reduced by S20,000 and $30,000 put towards the new presbytery, a Chancery office loan of S5000 completing the project.

"I don't think there has been anyone who has been a greater symbol of justice, peace and reconciliation in the episcopal conference. He has an extraGrdinary sense of justice and clarity that has enabled him to go all the way up to 10 to establish the facts and what can be judged as a result. I say thank you to Archbishop Goody for that tremendous service he has given the state of Western A ustralia, Australia and the

Bright forecast for the diocese "l am sure we can look forward to a great period in the history of the archdiocese of Perth," said Bishop Healy in proposing the toast to Archbishop Foley at a luncheon attended by over 220 priests from Western Australia.
Father Maurice Toop
"As bishop of Geralctton he showed he is able to do what his predecessors did so well: to use the charisms and skills of all members of the Church and to see that they are developed and fostered. Bishop Healy listed some of the achievements of Archbishop Foley in 30 years of priesthood: assistant priest, director of missions, director of migration, promoter of vocations, parish priest, chaplain to Catholic Social Apostolate and Knights of the Southern Cross, chairman of the senate of priests and bishop of Geraldton.
Bishop Healy, named Vicar General.
"Such a wide variety of pastoral and administrative experience is indeed remarkable. Bishop Healy cited some of the problems Archbishop Foley will face: the diminishing number of priests, the effects of materialism on the family, youth and unemployment and the care of the needy and the handicapped.
Archbishop's response "It took me 12 months to get used to being administrator of the cathedral and I hope it will not take me as long to get used to being archbishop," Archbishop Foley said in response to a toast at a clergy luncheon to welcome him. He said Monsignor McCrann had recently announced his "third coming" to St Mary's Cathedral: 32
"First as curate, then as administrator -- a little unwillingly but obediently — and now joyfully as archbishop. "And that may take some time to sink into my heart" He said that the TA years in Geraldton gave him the opportunity to get used to wearing episcopal garb, but also "to learn the place of a bishop in a group of people." "Please God I will be able to use those memories to the advantage of us all '
The Record, December 23— 29, 1983
"He can face these difficulties with confidence because God will always have God's grace but he will also have the awareness of having learned in the school of his tutor Archbishop Goody and of the assurance of the cooperation and support of the clergy of the archdiocese
A life moulded by Gospel Archbishop Foley was a man who had allowed his life to be moulded by the gospel, to allow the gospel to form him into a real Christian man. This was the verdict of Father Maurice Toop who seconded the toast to Archbishop Foley. Tracing their days together as schoolboys at Nedlands, as seminarians at
Genoa and as neighbouring assistant priests at Shenton Park and West Perth, Father Toop praised the archbishop's keen analytical and mathematical mind which he combined with good judgement. He said from his earliest days at Shenton Park Archbishop Foley had kept in touch with the Church at all levels, especially the migrants.
