It is not enough to have a new code of canon law, it is necessary to have a new mentality in interpreting that code. This was the message this week of the renowned Washington professor of canon law Father Ladislaw Orsy SJ to 90 people attending the first ever national conference of the Canon Law Society of Australia and New Zealand to be helS in WA. After Vatican II, Father Orsy said, the Church achieved a new understanding of itself, a new type of relationship with other Christian churches and a new attitude to the world at large.

New centre for day care More than 500 people attended the dedication and official opening of the Little Sisters of the Poor nursing home and day care centre at Glendalough.
The ceremony was a double one, marking also the centenial of service by the Sisters to Australia's aged needy.

The Archbishop of Perth, Archbishop Foley, and MHR for Perth, Dr Ric Charlesworth representing the Commonwealth Government, officiated.
The congregation of the Little Sisters of the Poor was founded in France in 1839. Its apostolate of service was for the needy aged. It has never divested from it, said Archbishop Folcy.
The worst drought in modern history has devastated 24 African countries. In its wake, 20 million now face starvation. Tens of thousands have already died. In the words of Fr. Stephanos Tedla, Ethiopian priest and secretary of the Ethiopian Catholic Secretariat: "What can I say to you? The suffering of my people has touched you in Australia, so far away - think how it is for us here, watching our people suffering, dying. "Can you imagine 140,000 people all hungry, starving, waiting patiently for food? "They walk in through the dust to the relief areas - sometimes the women and children 'ill spend days. weeks, at the camps. N1any sleep in the open - it is very o )1d high in the mountains, there are few blankets. "The men walk in from their villages, pick up their food rations - never enough - and trudge home to try and work their farms. The crops will not grow - the animals are dead or dying. "But the wonderful thing is that my people never give up hope. Always they wait for rain, work their farms as well as they can, and hope. "They hope for a better future. Even as they die:
Without their support the nursing home could not have been built. 'We still need their support to maintain our standard of care in the future," she said. The Little Sisters apostolate is a daunting challenge said Mother Marc-elle. Without love, charity, and trust in divine providence it could not have survived.

ADDIS ABABA — Ethiopia is an ancient African nation facing a contemporary African problem . famine. trim NA R
I NNINLINIA Net I C New s
Its history has been recorded for 2000 years, and its line of emperors claimed to be descendants of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. It is also one of the oldest Christian countries in the world. Ethiopia's last emperor, Haile Selassie, was deposed in 1974 and replaced with military junta which made the country into a communist state. Today nearly one-fifth of Ethiopia's 33 million people face starvation because of a disastrous drought, now in its third year, throughout Africa's Sub-Sahara region. The country was also hit by a major drought in 1973 which caused the deaths of 100,000 Ethiopians. The country is located in east central Africa and is bordered by Sudan and Somalia. Much of Ethiopia is high, temperate plateau. The regions below 1600 feet are arid and hot. Along with most developing countries, Ethiopia is primarily an agricultural nation. The scsvntv of the famine conditions faced by those countries has been corn pounded in recent yr-ars tr.the droughts and by development problems. said Father Rollins Lambert. African affairs adviser to the US Catholic Conference.
NEW YORK (NC) B lack Catholics are called primarily to evangelisation through justice and peace, respect fo life and the liturgy, Auxiliary Bishop Joseph A. Francis of Newark N.1, said at the Louisville a rchdiocesan Black Catholic Congress. "God is calling us to build up His kingdom here on earth, to communicate His word, to serve our mission as black Catholics, to teach and witness the word," he told SOO participants. "It pains me to see so muck time, so much talent, so much energy spent on what is negative in our Church and in society.
Ethiopia is one of the oldest Christian nations in the world and one with one of the most troubled history. The map above Olows the country sandwiched between the Arab courrtries to north, and newly independent former European colonies to the south.

proper participation of the laity." The bishops' conferences of England. Wales, Ireland and Scotland made similar arguments, saying the ban on official installation "has led to a sense of impermanence in women's ministry. It a lso preserves the unfortunate impression the Church r egards women as second-class citizens." The New Zealand bishops said they "resolved not to use the liturgical rites for the installation of acolytes and readers precisely because of the pastoral harm which would be caused.
GOD Father lambert said those development problems have included deforestation. over grazing and the continuance of the practice from African colonial times of primarily growing exportable cash crops like coffee. Ethiopia has been particu tarty hard-hit by drought. and its problems have been intensified due to tramportation difficulties resulting from its its civil wars. Beth Griffin. press coordinator for Catholic Relief Services, which distributes about 90 per cent of the food aid reaching Ethiopia, said the drought has ruined at least four planting seasons in a row

One of Smashing games breaking laws the great tasksof the Church
Riecord
So the Huns and Vandals wrought havoc on the Scarborough Hotel. It was all in vain, the beer still flows. But what a rehearsal for the Last Day! The Visigoths and Vikings will probably also come. Bandidos and Comancheros may stake out the area. It is hard to judge if it was a nasty riot by hotel-wrecking standards. Certainly there was time for a television news crew to get in position and, like some Beirut battle, actually record the stubbies thudding against the police wagons. It was probably not much of a riot by entertainment standards where the Wild West tavern is reduced to matchwood minutes after any ugly horse-thief hits town. Until we have talk -back television no-one will be able to reproduce the sound of hundreds of thousands of Perth news watchers gasping in chorus last Sunday night: "Isn't . or whatever that ternble" The excuse seemed harmless enough. A solitary radio station said the hotel is closing so hordes of healthy outdoor West Australians observing the national right to a trouble free Sunday decided to knock the daylights out of a building where other Australians earned valuable weekend penalty rates to entertain the hordes knocking it down etc, earning extra money to sweep up the mess etc, covered by the extra insurance people running these establishments have to carry etc . From such a fleeting incident no-one will recognise the token few dragged up before the courts in the months ahead. They were affected by alcohol, no doubt it seemed a good thing to do at the time, will run the streaker's defence.
DODO But the public furrows its brow Who are the people who spend a Sunday wrecking a hotel? Who went home that evening and told their parents, or spouses, or partners that they scored three windows and six jugs in a hotel not? Who are the people who boasted at work last Monday that they targeted two police wagons with flying beer bottles? Where do hotel rioters live? Are they the next door neighbours? Do they ring 000 when bottles and jugs come flying through their windows? There is more than cynicism in these idle questions. Unlike the Scarborough Hotel fracas the newspapers now bury without comment the almost daily tally of rapes in houses, muggings in carparics, robberies after and even before dark. When caught, the perpetrators march unrecognised through the court reports into prison Apparently there are others to take their place. Is it a fantasy to recall that Perth people enjoyed missing the midnight tram, of walking for miles through the black streets past milkmen, nightcarts and sundry, past houses where most of the population slept safely with little more than a canvas blind between them and the street? The solution seems simple enough: put more uniformed police on to the streets. It will top off the night for the crowds stumbling out of Northbridge eateries to see police everywhere on the beat, in the car -parks. The police who are unfortunate to be rostered at such hours may even enjoy the exercise in public relations. Perth of course can thank its backwardness for not being one of the hundreds of well-known cities where the streets day or night are a jungle of violence and destruction. But ripples can travel a long way and the first signs of restlessness lap the tranquil shore.
CM] The hard edge of last Sunday was not the glass. It was money, hurling insult at money in a new morality of the streets that feels entitled to make its own declarations about change, about development. But who sets the agenda for public anger? Who hands out the free passes for acts of destruction? Why do neighbours now turn up the television set as the best antidote to the screaming and struggling going on next door? Why become involved if it is somebody else's life and human dignity being degraded because of another's hate, bitterness and revenge on a society he says rejects him? No wonder visiting canon lawyer Father Orsy says the written law is incapable of achieving its goal if there is no community, no brotherhood that wants law. Perhaps it is good that lawlessness and hatred have returned to the streets if it can teach the reality of sinfulness when community respect breaks down, when fast transport and wandering the world mean that a section of humanity no longer has roots, belongs to noone and cares even less. Is that the origir•al original sin now visiting this age? Civil lawyers are not much help in stemming the tide and it would be equally vain to dump the spiritual problems of the world on the hard working church lawyers who have assembled in Perth this week. Those who want to carry the tag of Christian must gather together and live out the laws that are going to guide a Church of compassion, courage and forgiveness. The pity is that so many plaintive stories claim that people have left the Church or its practices precisely because of its laws. What went wrong? Were last Sunday's Scarborough rioters saying the same thing?

One of the great tasks of the Church in this stage of its history is to make sure that the spirit in which the new code of canon law is written and is asked to be lived he communicated to the people, Archbishop Foley said this week. Speaking at Mass to open the national meeting of the Canon Law Society of Au.stralia and New Zealand, Archbishop Foley said there was a need for priests with no direct association with the code also to absorb its spirit and content so that they can explain it in their particular area of work.
Archbishop Foley (right) who attended inaugural ceremonies of both Dianella and Como Catenian circles chats with Dianella office bearers, Tony Guzzi (treasurer), Peter Lamb (secretary) and George Mohr (vice president).
Catenian's new links the world wide Catenian organisation gained further links last weekend with the inauguration locally of Circle No 302 at Oianella and Circle No 303 at Como Also inaugurated was the first overseas province in the now international Gateman association The administrative body known as Area Council West- now becomes Province No 20 Augstralia The latest circles being the number in Western Australia to six There are now three in New South Wales bringing the Australian total to 10 after a further circle inauguration there this week The new circles were inaugurated by Catenian Grand President

"Noting the new code has been officialh released in the English language. he continued.
CI 0 "No longer can we limit the code to the priest as though he had a secret hook that no-one else can understand. "We must see ourselves involved in the code's implementation so that the message of Vatican II which was accepted so broadly and enthusiastically as a breath of fresh air becomes a new direction for the Church todav "It is all very well to have nice ideals and to speak about them but until those new values are expressed in life of the Church our work is not complete.
Catenian Past Grand President Gerald Cassidy (right) of England who visited Australia two years ago for earlier inaugurations met up with current Catenian presidents Alex Banovich (Fremantle), Des Wright (Liwara), John O'Hara (Darling Range) and Jim Kenny (City of Perth).

But his insistent theme in justifying the Church's code is the building of community and brotherhood. "Wherever you have any kind of community you will have to have some kind of regulation, otherwise people will be bumping into each other. "We may say that all we have to do is love Jesus but there has to be some order "Christianity was horn as a community, it was never an individualistic religion. Even Jesus Himself called 12 apostles. "In the Acts of the Apostles we see that the Church always came together to worship. whether in Jerusalem. Antioch or Rome.
"Christianity never promoted a religion that is purely individualistic. If we arc brothers hut never come together then we are not brothers. "An approach to Christianity that would exclude community is not a Christian religion. "The command to love each other is not a command for individual action. We have to support each other as a community." Asked why the Church always seems to get a had reputation with its URN on morality. Father Orsy said this was the result of an imbalance in preaching. Often there was emphasis on sexual obligations but not on other issues.
in expenses
World military expenditure is expected to pass the trillion dollar mark in 1985. That's a million million dollars. For those who haven't got calculators and/or are no good at long division, that works out at about $1,833,000 a minute! Military expenditure for one day would be enough to ensure that nobody in Africa starved in 1984.

Please think about the problems of our people A ustralian Jesuit Fathers Peter Doherty, Hans Hendriks and Tony Herbert live almost full time in remote and backward areas of South Bihar where basic facilities are minimal or non-existent. These priests live with the people, sharing their houses, their food and their problems. They see the misery, the suffering and the f rustration of deprived people unable to help themselves. Family life is incredibly hard. A recent survey of 4,000 people living in 10 villages will give you some idea of their problems. A severe shortage of water affects all families. 1Some villages have NO WELLS. Many women have
t o carry water for two miles. Families are seriously affected by lack of food for seven months every year. India's climate is harsh: 3 months wet, 9 months dry. When monsoons are good family crops provide food for five months. W ithout water they cannot grow food during the long dry period. There is widespread sickness caused by malnutrition, polluted water and ignorance. Cholera k ills them in 3 to 4 hours. Medical care is too far away. They can't phone for a doctor or nurse to call. They cannot cope with malaria, dysentery, cholera, typhoid, tuberculosis, diptheria, scabies, tetanus, polio, leprosy, trachoma, nightblindness.

It was only four years ago, Catherine Duval said, that she came to see God's direction in her life. "I guess you could say I received major surgery, spiritually and emotionally and became the person I was meant to be," she said. It was 'surgery' that could only be carried out with the temporary loss of her beautiful voice; a voice that she had only really 'discovered' in the depths of deep, personal tragedy. Born in Melbourne and educated at the Convent of Mercy, the young Catherine had enthusiastically sung in concerts and local radio but had grown up wanting first to be a teacher and then opting for secretarial work. She left for Europe shortly after finishing college and worked as a secretary before marrying and having children. It was after the birth of her second child, and the family's return to Australia, that marital difficulties resulted in separation and the 'kidnapping' of her children by her Dutch husband and his parents. With her toddlers taken from her and the desperate need to get to Europe to find them, she took a job as a singing waitress. "It seemed one way to make money quickly," she said. "'Someone from the Sun Ana company heard me sing and said, What are you going to do about that beautiful voice?' I had never dreamt of singing as a career "I went and had a couple of singing lessons and then auditioned at the Princess Theatre, as a joke more than anything, but they asked me to ioin the company It was 1961. she was 25 years old and the start of a career as a dramatic soprano, was a 'godsend' as she lived the lonely days without her children She auditioned for the Elizabethan Opera Company and spent two years in major roles before heading overseas in hope of finding her 'babies'. She did find them, in Holland with their grandparents, but was told that if she wished to see them she would have to remain anonymous She accepted the conditions and committed herself to a life in Europe, 'just to be near them.' "I was lucky working in London," she said. "I had jobs with Sadler's Wells Opera Company and at Covent Garden. That was the peak of my
Twenty-three years ago Catherine Duval was surprised to find herself embarking on an operatic career; she was even more surprised, some years later, to find herself embarking on another career, as a 'born-again Christian.' But both surprises have proved to be joyful ones and Catherine Duval, in Perth at present, to take the lead role in The Merry Widow at His Majesty's Theatre, took time out to talk about the 'surprising' but satisfying developments in her life.

career, it was a great honour "Then I started on the circuit -- Germany, Switzerland. Spain, Holland -- it really was a life on the move" In a sense her freedom came when her eldest daughter, on the occasion of her 17th birthday asked if she was her mother. "Of course when I admitted it, all hell broke loose but I knew I had to,- she said. Her daughters still live in Holland, one is a doctor and the other has her own business One of the greatest joys from her newly blooming faith came when she was able to return to Holland and hug her mother-in-law with genuine love. "Before I found this new meaning I was a person capable of revenge That has all gone and being able to love in that way released her, it made her the happiest person in the world. It has been since her return to Australia three years ago that her life has taken on a new dimension and once again it was her voice that became the initial instrument of salvation. "But this time I lost it instead of finding it,- she said. "I had been working with the Australian Opera Company in Sydney, although based in Melbourne, and all of a sudden I had no voice She went to the best specialist in Sydney and from there to eight other special -

It was on her way out of the church that she stopped by the reading stand and picked up a pamphlet titled, The Healing Touch by Sister Renee Kittelson. 'The word healing grabbed me and I was rooted to the spot. I didn't move until I had finished it." she said. 'When I had finished I knew I wanted to meet her. Up until then my life had been crotchets and quavers and working hard . . . the pamphlet told me about spiritual healing, something I knew nothing about... While a hurried phone called revealed that Sister Kittelson had returned to the United States, she accepted instead an invitation to see one of her colleagues "I spent one and a half hours on the phone pouring out my life to the nun at the other end and when I had finished she said, 'You won't have to go to America.' "She asked me to go to a healing meeting and it was a choice of Houston on the Wednesday or Chadstone on the Thursday I picked Chadstone I cancelled my ticket and went to the heal-
ing meeting. After two meet ingsI had my voice back and a whole new life as well" For Catherine the first miracle was getting her voice back and the second was the healing of the dark areas in her life "I knew things had changed because I became a totally different person.. she said She had lived, she said. a 'Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' existence with the first person a walking casualty ef emotional hurts, disappointments and frustrations, living an artificial Irfe with no real idea of Christianity. "I had been following the idol of 'operatic achievement' in a desperate search for peace,- she said But the peace was even closer to hand than she imagined and the second person that emerged from the healing was full of the 'inner peace' she had frantically sought for so long. "I'm turned on by learning what it is to be a Christian and discovering the treasures of Jesus and what he means in the world today She laughs at the image some people have in their minds of Charismatics, as 'holy-rollers' and arm-waving fanatics' but says fanatic is not necessarily a bad word. • Cost page 10
H AVE YOUR SAY from ROGER RYAN, North Double view SIR The future of our nation depends on the wisdom displayed at the polling booth. Politicians are the only authorised persons who can enact laws including repealing or altering existing ones. Therefore the forth-coming Federal elections should be of great importance to all Catholic voters because of the permissiveness in our society today that is undermining the moral values and principles of family life.
Therefore it behoves all Catholics eligible to vote to write to their candidates to the Senate or House of Representatives requesting their written reply of "YES" or "NO" to the following questionsI. Do you support abortion on demand? 2. Do you support legalising of homosexuality? 3 Do you support the legal selling of X and R rated videos with explicit sexual erotica by exclusion of violence? (Removing violence would be good but the explicit sexual erotica would
threaten the moral standards of our teenagers and young adults and also such videos degrade womanhood.) 4. If elected will you do all in your power to alleviate the condition of 2.7 million Australians living in poverty, including 750,000 children. (The figures quoted come from the Federal Governments Institute of Family Studies.) 5 Do you support the right of parents to choose the type of education for their children, as enunciated by the UN in their Universal Declara-

Overcoming divisions VATICAN CITY (NC) Europeans have a special responsibility to overcome the divisions of Christianity because these divisions began in Europe. said Pope John Paul II in a letter to the participants in a major European ecumenical meeting. "So many of the divisions which exist among Christians had their origin in Europe and came to other parts of the world in the wake of the preaching of the Gospel. "Therefore the ecumenical responsibility of Europe extends beyond its continental limits and is both heavy and urgent," said the pope in a letter to the meeting of European Catholic bishops and the Council of European Churches.

Bishops slam Sandinista's 'peace' plea MANAGUA (NC) — The president of the Nicaraguan bishops' conference criticised the government for imposing "new oppressions" and not sincerely seeking peace. In a 16-page statement, Bishop Pablo Antonio Vega, head of the prelature of Juigalpa. Nicaragua. said Sandinista ideology "promotes and institutionalises violence" and seeks to implant "systems that the people have not accepted or chosen." The bishop said the statement represented his personal views and not that of the body of bishops Bishop Vega said after five years of San dinista rule "Nicara gua is now a living lesson for the entire continent. "Once again, it is proven that ideological dogmatisms and materialistic schemes do not meet human needs. They see man as nothing more than an 'instrument of labor,' one more 'soldier' for the goal of world domination." More than 10,000 people have been killed in fighting during the last three years. "It is said and repeated that all these calamities and wars are caused only hy 'foreign aggression' of an imperialism that is the enemy of humanity" the bishop said.
But, he said, the people ask "to what imperialism who belong those impose a regime that plunders, goals and 30 Dar accounic 10 approved Rtorpecc Hourc issues constant calls to F1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111m, arms?"

If you look around you'll see many women returning from their job responsibilities to more r esponsibilities at home and in their community. Some mothers are able to be at home full time but many of them take on volunteer duties and they, too, find themselves stretched for time. The contemporary Christian woman, married or single, employed or not, leads a complex life — and often a generous one as well. "A new humanity is being realised in Jesus Christ in which ... man and woman come into being and recognise each other on a basis of equality in mission and involvement." (Archbishop Louis-Albert Vachon of Quebec, addressing the 1983 international Synod of Bishops.)

This is called "the busy life" While it's true that Mrs McGovern's teenage children help with the logistics of home life, and a supportive husband is learning to shop and clean, the major responsibilities for a smoothly run home fall to her.

Who are some women at work in and for the Church today? This week our writers introduce some of these women, including a sister who is the only full-time minister in two Wisconsin parishes.

She offers suggestions on how the Church can serve such women, through parish-sponsored learning days on the changing roles of men and women, for example.

Katharine Bird, associate editor of NC's Religious Education package interviews two women who work full time in church ministry. Franciscan Sister Maria Lang is pastoral administrator of two rural parishes. Greer Gordon is director of adult regligious education in the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C. Father John Castelot talks about two women who held responsible positions in the early Church. Lydia was a businesswoman in Macedonia who welcomed Paul to her home.

In 1983 CRS reported the lack of rain WaS preventing many farmers from planting seeds. Instead they were eating the seeds to keep from starving. CRS said.

In addition, aid has been slowed hythe several armed conflicts within the country. such as the civil war in the Eritrean region of northern Ethiopia and a rebellion among ethnic Somalis in the Ogaden region in eastern Ethiopia_ Ms Griffin said in some areas the government must militarily secure sections of roadways before a convoy of trucks can carry aid from Ethiopian ports to stricken regions.

BOB BOYLE -Church designing is universally attractive to architects. They are basically buildings of a type staying with us over the centuries," says West Perth architect, Michael Broderick. -The Church was the patron of architecture from the Middle Ages and there are few surving buildings from that era that are not churches. is "Architecture much as about people as it is about bricks and mortar. "A church should have a quality of serenity. it should be tasteful and it should reflect the people for whom it is built,- he says. "All the qualities with which we are at home in an old church can be put into the new building -The same feelings and emotions can be created, but not as an exact copy of the old church -The high point should occur in the centre of the building to signify that evethe celerybody present brant, the Mass servers and the congregation --- are all as one in the presence of God." These concepts are embodied in Michael's design of the new St Kieran's Church at Osborne Park that won the prestigious 1984 Clay Brick Award which entitles Michael to an overseas study tour The jury of experts had this to say in making the award 'This building is a solution to the problems of planning and materials used in a modern ecclesiastical facility that must relate and harmonise with the existing

Frightening figures for
Nearly half — 40 per cent — of all Australian marriages are likely to end in divorce if the latest divorce rates continue. This rate of divorce places an enormous cost on the Australian taxpayer, apart from the human suffering for the couples and children involved. "The direct cost to Government of marital breakdown is at least $1250 million each year," said Mr David Lardner, president of the National Marriage Guidance Council," and much of this

amount is cumulative. "This figure of $1,250 million excludes unquantifiable major costs to the health, education, welfare and employment sectors consequent upon marital breakdown."
DEJECI By contrast, the Australian Government is spending only $4.1 million on marriage counselling this year, and only
$85,000 on marriage preparation. This total expenditure on prevention represents less than 0.3 per cent of the amount spent by the Government on marital breakdown.
Mr Lardner said that: "Marriage counselling enables a couple to explore all the options open to them when their relationship is in difficulty. Seventy per cent of all couples turning to marriage counselling when facing a crisis in their

designed the Liwara Catholic school. It was a project rxXable in at least two respects — ii was the first school in Australia to be funded by the Australian Schools Commission and, as he expresses it. -it put a direction on my practice of architecture The validity of this remark is borne out by the amount of work he has done since on existing and new Catholic and Government schools and the reputation he has built up of being something of a schools specialist. In addition to Liwara, the new ones include St Joseph's at Bunbury and Corpus Christi College at Bateman In dealing with existing schools, he believes it is wise to try to extend as much as possible the design
feeling of what is already there rather than to depart radically into something new. There are a number of examples of his putting this belief into practice One is the vocational wing of St Joachim's at Victoria Park Another is the complex embodying CBC Leederville where his designs included those of the big library, the
parish centre and the manual arts and pure arts centre. He feels the Leederville group is unique in Catholic architecture in having all the buildings bed in with features such as red brick, terra cotta tiles and white rendering With regard to the Leeder ville group and the work he did at CBHS Highgate and CSC Fremantle, he says at: three projects were largely to do with campus planning to make the buildings perform better Actually the first church for which Michael was responsible was at Esperance where it was part of a complex he designed that also included a parish hall, a presbyter/ and a convent with the church as a centrepiece In 1974-75 he had worked on alterations to the old St Kreran's at Osborne Park. so he was not a stranger to the location when he was asked to design the new church It seats 360 adults but its total capacity, when standing room is taken into account, is beteen 900 and 1.000

The $250,000 additions, involving extensions to the ground floor and gallery seating areas as well as f orecourt landscaping, began in March this year.

The facade features a 3.5 metre diamert eorsestained glass window manufactured in one piece.

With
Fr. John Jegorow
A time of r enewal and plans It's good to be alive a nd back at work a fter my holidays. I thoroughly enjoyed my holiday with family and friends. It's interesting to view the many activities of the youth scene after a time of refreshment and renewal . Great things have been happening in my absence. A s the proverbial saying goes, there is good news and bad news. The bad news
P- oparing for the recent Choice weekend are, left to right, Brother Tony Clarke, Vesna and Alex Banovich, Kerry Lynch, James Depiazzi and Helen Curtis.
Pope to meet young people The Pope will hold a meeting with young people next year, International Youth Year It will be on Saturday. March 30, and Palm Sunday, March 31. The theme will "Christ our peace'
be
On the Saturday afternoon there will be a meeting between the Pope and young people. This will be followed by a prayer vigil in different languages and a procession and Mass on Palm Sunday. The event is being arranged by the
Pope's Council for the Laity. It has announced plans for the meeting in a letter t o the presidents of bishops' conferences around the world. The letter says various Catholic youth groups
and associations are arranging international meetings for before and after the meeting with the Pope The letter asks bishops' conferences "to encourage a good participation of youth from your country."
It also asks churches at the local level to "promote initiatives for youth in line with the themes of the International Youth Year: peace, development and participation, seen in the light of Christ's salvivic presence in the Church."

Instead of the normal parish group meetings that are held each Sunday evening. last Sunday the Antioch communities all met together at Aquinas College. Over 200 young people sang, prayed and made new friends. Individual news items were shared and a short "get-to-know-you" session intermingled the members of Lesmurdie City Beach, Maida Vale. Midland. Claremont, Nedlands, Woodlands, Mosman Park ( Anglican parish) and lalamunda. Rockingham were missed. The evening ended with shared prayer and benediction in the chapel. Father Jegorow spoke on the sacraments. Andrew Diamond and a friend provided lively guitar accompaniment.

CATHOLIC YOUTH COUNCIL Met for the last time in 1984 last week. From five nominations the council chase four young people yet to he ratified by Archbishop Foley as members of the Diocesan Pastoral Council. In the past it WIC expected that young people would come for the parishes, as this did not prove to be the case the Youth Council has been given the task of selecting possible young people for the DPC. The outgoing young people are Jill Ryan, Josephine Haythornthwaite, Martin Forsey and Christina Kadmos. The nominations are Anne Harris, Steven Cavil. Barbara Willcock and Lucy Brennan. The term is normally four years, but to match the policy of the DPC two will serve only two years.

dioceses of Perth. Bunbury and Geraldton shared $16,500 to help with youth work. This is only about five pcnritt Of the total money spent but a valuable help 1.c treasurers who sometimes are not sire where the next dollar is coming from.
i s that the Catholic Youth Office has been broken into twice in the past two weeks. On one occasion a small amount of money was taken. A s with most breakins it's the inconvenience and senseless damage that occurs. The good news is about a coming event -- not to be missed. Saturday, December 1 is the next important youth date to mark on your calender. Its t he annual Youth R ally that has attracted up to 600 people in past years. The rally takes the form of a barbecue at St Thomas More College in the late afternoon and is followed by an outdoor concelebrated Mass at t he WA University sunken gardens. This is the one major annual event coordinated by the Catholic Youth Council.
NEW YCW FULL TIMER Anna Rossi will replacc Tom O'Regan as the new YCW full timer in Februar. 1985.
STATE SCHOOL Father John Hill asked youth council members if any groups were interested in contact wort with young people in State schools. Father Hill had been in touch with the state school chaplains. At past meetings the council had expressed concern on how to hest reach state school youth and invite them to movement activities.
A poster advertising the rally has been sent to all parishes and I hope the youth group or council members have given it exposure. Young people and their families are invited. You don't have to be in a youth group to come along. It's a chance to see other young people celebrating their faith. I invite all priests who do not have a Saturday evening Mass to c ome along with
their stole and chas ubles. Please adver t ise this event in Parish bulletins and in your notices. T his event brings together young people from the different movements and parishes It's an evening of celebration. In the past special messages have been r eceived from the pope. Bishops, and o therwise reserved prelates, have been known to raise their arms and lift their voices in shouts of joy. Youth have that special way about them. One year the Y CW members actually built the altar right there on the s pot and over 50 YCS students, glad that their TAE was over took part in the procession of the gifts. It's a chance for youth groups to make a banner and have a "say." I'm not sure of all the detail for this year but know that the "catch cry" is unity. Jesus was on about that, quite a bit. It promises to be a great night. I see that the Justice and Peace statement on Youth "Rocky R oad" has been out for some five weeks. I hope that youth groups are studying the document and I expect there will be some response from young people. Or is it a non event in the lives of the young and mainly aimed at the adult world? I see the editor of this paper has not been short of comments (editorial Oct 4-10) about "Rocky R oad." I hope that those who have taken the bumps will tell us what they think of the statement with letters to the youth page. I wish the Year 12's and tertiary students every success in their examinations.
