Cardinal Sin was addressing a press conk rence at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre, after he delivered an address "A call to istry" at one of the conferences organised during the 43rd International Eucharistic Congress. The cardinal said many of the bishops in South Africa had been silent on the atrocities committed by the Pretoria regime. But this did not mean they condoned the atroces, he noted•. Asked about the silence of the Catholic Church over the state of emergency in South Africa, Cardinal Sin said this was because it had been difficult to reach an agreement.

To achieve this, he said the Church and clergy should inform governments on the rights of their people. "But many in the church are sick. They are afraid of dying But we are duty-bound to suffer and that is why we are priests," he added.

If Australia is to justify the retention of these facilities, it should require that progressive steps towards disarmament be initiated without delay by each superpower, independently if necessary. These steps should include:

In the document, work For A Just Peace, the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace argues Australia's integration into the US nuclear defence and weapons system, is a part of the dynamic pushing the world up the arms spiral. Because of this, the commission calls for a reappraisal of Australia's relationship with its major ally, the United States. The commission believes the Australian Government has the right and is obliged to know all the functions of the joint US/ Australian facilities.
The Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace report released last week has met with some criticism from individuals and organisations around Australia.

Commission says Australia's
Unless clear steps to disarmament are taken, the commission considers that the continued presence of Pine Gap and Nurrungar cannot be justified. To ensure their important function of surveillance continues, if such steps are not taken, the Australian Government should initiate a procedure to hand that function over to a properly established international authority. There is, the commission believes, no Camps Farthest Out is an exciting adventure in discovering the secret of praying as Jesus prayed and experiencing for oneself the beauty and mystery of prayer has been arranged at Baldivis for September 27-30. The program is designed for full participation by all campers. It offers a new concept of Christian living and provides techniques which may be used to lift everyday living heavenward. The camp is a creative and healing experience involving the body, mind and soul. It deals with the wholeness of the physical and spiritual life, helping campers to understand the reality of "letting go and letting God" control their lives. The morning and evening talks are inspirational. Creative writing stimulates the mind while creative art is an excellent avenue for expression. Movement to music puts the body, mind and soul into balance and oneness with the Great Creator. The song sessions open the windows of heaven and the Spirit of God descends upon

"Recent reports in the local press about small charities missing out on donations from the public do not apply to the Society of St Vincent de Paul," said Fred Preshaw, state president. "Contributions to Church poor boxes have risen steadily at a rate of nearly 10 per cent over the last three years. "At the same time, demands for assistance have increased at more than double this rate and the difference has been made up by takings from our clothing shops." he said. "Nearly every dollar placed

It proposes that until all safeguards are adequate and long term storage problems solved, Australia should not engage in the mining and export of uranium except for medical and peaceful research purposes.

Priest on the board Redemptorist priest, Father Tony Kelly has joined the board of Catholic publisher, Dove Communications. Father Kelly is currently President of Yarra Theological College and the Melbourne College of Divinity. He is also author of a number of books relating theology to the Australian context. Chairman, Jim Rush said he was delighted to have Father Kelly as a member of the Board.
'At a time when the company is expanding its more serious religious publishing, Father Kelly's experience and knowledge of theology here and overseas will make a valuable contribution to the future directions of the company.
"To publish theology successfully, we need to operate in the international arena", Mr Rush said.

It is the first of a series of articles on various dioceses of Australia and New Zealand. Mons Michael Keating, the Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Perth was approached by the editorial board to write it. Perth is the largest archdiocese in area in Australia. There is a large difference in population between the newer parishes and the older ones and a total diocesan strategy is planned to improve pastoral effectiveness with reference to parish boundaries, deployment of priests and so on.

On the trans-continental train to Adelaide. I spent much time with an examiner from Trinity College, London, a Mr Schi(sky, who with ardour advocated the cause of a young pupil he heard play in Boulder. Eileen's first music teachers were Sisters ha and Vincent of St Joseph's Convent, Boulder who supported the high opinion of the examiner from Trinity College, London. Eileen came regularly for lessons and to practice on their pianos. Of all who helped Eileen the Loreto Sisters of Osborne, Western Australia, deserve the chief thanks with Mother John, a gifted musician, as her teacher. Eileen was a welcome guest as a boarder for three years 1923-1926 when she left Australia to study at Leipzig at the age of 17. On the public appeal to raise money to send Eileen abroad, I would single out the name of Sir Thomas Coombe who directed his manager Hamilton Brown to act as honorary secretary for the appeal. He had heard Eileen play at intervals in the new picture theatre, The Prince of Wales, in Murray Street, and in the picture theatres in the country by his arrangement from 1923-1926 when she went abroad.
Catholic Education in Perth is well served. Perth has 100 Catholic schools with in excess of 35,000 students. lack of resources of people is a big problem but big efforts are being made.

Through these recitals, Eileen raised most of the money herself. A recital in the ballroom of Government House, Perth was the highlight where the youthful convent boarder played serenely to a crowded audience. Eileen had not a normal schooling but with her determination she passed the public examination for the Junior Certificate. At Osborne she was popular, good at sport, excellent at tennis. Mother John, her teacher, now retired at Loreto Convent, Adelaide says of her: "As a music pupil Eileen was quite unconscious of her outstanding ability. Shi had not a trace of any conceit. She was responsive and a humble pupil willing to take any suggestions. Any fears I as a young teacher might have had on taking on the responsibility of so gifted a pupil, were completely dispelled. "Eileen certainly had exceptional pianist talent and was well equipped, hands, intelligence, physique, temperament and
by Mons 1.T. McMAHON, a lifelong friend personality to make a world pianist." Mother John told me Eileen was so keen to pass the Junior Certificate she feared at times her music lessons might suffer. She remembers her coming to her music lessons with a school book, sometimes with a dictionary, which she studied during rest periods in her playing. Late in 1926 she left alone for Leipzig. Her first teacher was Max Pauer. Eileen had the courage to change her teacher and it showed the strength of character of this inexperienced Australian teenager on her own in a foreign land to do so. Teischmuller became her next teacher. She has never forgotten she is from Australia and has proudly carried that name into the music halls of the world. The Eileen Joyce Studio in our University, which the retired Sir Frank Callaway,
the first Professor of Music at the University of Western Australia, considers the best he has seen in his musical travels, is Eileen's act of gratitude to Western Australia. The Sydney Morning Herald of April 29, 1967 carried an appreciation of Eileen's concert in the Albert Hall, London. After an interval of six years spent on a farm doing gardening, cooking, working on the farm with no interest in music — "She had come to terms with Eileen Joyce who belonged to the world of music for 30 years. The old spirit and crackling vitality had an added dimension, that of serenity and inner radiance". Eileen explains the change: "I interpret music differently now. There is no stress or worry. My fingers feel the same, yet. I am playing differently. "It's odd. "Perhaps you have to love and hate and love again the things you do well." Eileen Joyce has remained unrivalled as a romatic concert pianist.

Freedom From Hunger work entirely with indigenous project partners in 57 projects of development in Third World nations. They have been working in Ethiopia for several y ears particularly in war -torn Eritrea and Tigray In Bangladesh, Freedom From Hunger have a long term commitment to rural development in the Shivalaya area. It was able to provide immediate relief in the recent devastation from the cyclone and tidal wave in Bangladesh. The support of the Catholic Church throughout WA is greatly appreciated.

The Church has come out strongly against freer use and availability of condoms as a measure to combat the spread of AIDS.
SPECIALLY Fl LTLIU.
The Church's view was expressed in Perth this week by the official spokesman, Monsignor P. O'Reilly.
684 ALBANY HIGHWAY, EAST VICTORIA PARK TELEPHONE 361 3164
Monsignor O'Reilly said the Church considered self control and avoidance of promiscuity as the morally acceptable alternative in combating contagious diseases.
OD He said: "Nature has a habit of taking its revenge when it is abused" The proposed legislation making condoms more readily available is understandable from a public health point of view. Monsignor O'Reilly said. Obviously the morality or otherwise of such practices is not being considered by the legislation, he said.

'Paradox' of papacy
Centuries old talks format
A multi-media commentary series dealing with the "paradox" of the Papacy is to be made by a joint venture between the authoritative author, Morris West, and News Corporation. The first program in the series, The Triple Crown, will be shown in Australia in November 1986 during the proposed Papal visit and will eventually be published in 27 languages. The program has been commended to the appropriate authorities in Rome by the Apostolic Pro-Nuncio Archbishop Luigi Barbarito. The Triple Crown will open with a two-hour documentary on Network 10 and be followed by a series of onehour specials. The multi-media project will include book, cassette and magazine publications.
When the first International Eucharistic Congress opened its door in 1881, the devotion to the Eucharist was expressed in a form which appeared new, even though in reality it was eight centuries old.

The deal was finalised this week by the Chief Executive of News Corporation, Rupert Murdoch, and Mr West, the latter in this role as Chairman of Melaleuka North Investments Ltd. Mr West will write the series. He said pre-production was already well advanced and diplomatic channels had been opened. He said the series would not attempt to trivialise the Papacy. -The Papal State is the smallest in the world," said Mr West. "Down the centuries it has been up to its neck in politics, yet it commands the simple loyalties of millions of people throughout the world." Mr Murdoch said The Triple Crown would focus on many crises and serve both as a memorial and a commentary. -This is an exciting project, full of dramatic possibilities," said Mr Murdoch. "It takes hold of a single sweeping idea — an institution which has endured for 2000 years — and projects it in dramatic terms for believers and non-believers alike.
Contraceptive coercion doctor Dr John Billings of Australia
yesterday condemned the use of coercive measures to persuade
the poor to accept contraception
at a seminar on the present moral crisis in the family.
The doctor, who developed the ovulation method of family planning told participants at the first of a series of seminars for the congress that the use of such measures including sterilisation and abortion has been so widespread in some countries as to cause a new kind of civil war. He accused the medical profession of using whatever authority that exists "to impose sterilisation as a condition of promotion in employment, salary increase, housing, education for their children and adequate medical care". He described such doctors as agents for an anti-nationalist policy.

The Record, 5.— 11 September, 1985
Dr Billings moved the listeners when he quoted Pope John Paul's speech in Washington in 1979. The pope said then: 'We will stand up every time that human life is threatened, when the sacredness of life before birth is attacked, we will stand up and proclaim that no one ever has the
authority to destory unborn life.
When the child is described as a burden or is looked upon as a means to satisfy emotional needs, we will stand up and insist that every child is a unique and unrepeatable gift of God with a right to a loving and united family. "When the institution of marriage is abandoned to human selfishness or
reduced to a conditional temporary arrangement, we will stand up and reaffirm the indissolubility of the marriage bond. 'When the value of the family is questioned because of social and economic pressures, we will stand up and reaffirm that the family is necessary not only to the private good of every person, but also to the common good of every society, nation and state."
arist outside Mass received a note-worthy impact in the 19th century, mainly due to layfolk like Mr Dupont and, especially, Mile Tamisier, and priests like Father Chevrier and St Peter-Julian Eymard, founder of the two congregations of the Blessed Sacrament. This renewal found its first expression in the organisation of pilgrimages to places where a "Eucharistic miracle" had taken place. A few years later, through personal efforts of Mons Mermillod, the tenacity of Mile Tamisier, and organising ability of Philibert Vrau, the first International Eucharistic Congress was held at Lille, France. The history of the Eucharistic Congress is said to be devided into three stages. From 1881 to the World War II its main characteristic was the devotion to the Eucharist outside Mass.
CILIEl Then by 1960 the principal accent was on the fact that the celebration of the Eucharist should be at the heart of the Congress. After 1960 the Congress became characterised by the stress on a special aspect of the Eucharistic mystery, specifically its requirements in the sphere of social ethics. The devotion to the Eucharist outside Mass marks the essential trend of the Congresses from 1881 to 1930, as is confirmed by the letters written by the Catholic popes to the different organisers and to the Papal legates. The program laid out for the Congress of 1881 is an illustration of the tendencies of all the congresses of the first period.
The 383 participants were divided into three workshops — adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, the devotion to the Blessed Sacrament and how to extend the impact of those Eucharistic works. The first period of the History of congresses was situated in a Western tradition dating from the 12 century; second goes further back into history beyond liturgies of the early middle ages, and finds its inspiration in the great liturgies of the first centuries, especially of the fourth.
Setting up a home
The Kenya Episcopal Conference is to set up a home for the elderly, to be known as Holy Family Home for the Elderly. The declaration was made
by the chairman of the conference. Bishop Ndingi Mwana a Nzeki yesterday, at the end of Holy Mass celebrated for the poor and the needy at Uhuru Park. In his announcement. Bishop Ndingi said the home was an expression of gratitude to God for the graces and blessings of hosting the Congress. "We wish that our gratitude be expressed in a visible and lasting sign so that men seeing our good works may Wye praise to our Father in heaven," he said. The bishop read the gospel passage, which was also read during the mass in which the Kingdom of Heaven was bequeathed to those who fed the hungry, gave drink to the thirsty gave shelter to strangers, clothed the naked and visited the sick, and said the words of the gospel were "a perpetual challenge to us." The foundation stone for the home, he said, would be laid on or before August 18, 1986.
Sustenance of Eucharist The Eucharist is not just food and drink for Christian lives, it is about food for self-lift, drink for the sharing of life, and loving God in obedience. The Eucharist is about loving your own brothers and sisters, even unto laying down lives for them. The Archbishop of Manila, James Cardinal Sin, thus Poetically defined the Eucharist, to the Congress at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre, in his paper "Call to Ministry." He said the Eucharist is a symbol and sacrament which reveals to the people the very meaning of Christ's life. It empowers the Church, enabling it to infuse that
meaning into the Christian existence. The Eucharist makes it possible for Christ's self giving to become the commitment and self-gift of the Christians. For the world he said, the Church exists to realise the Eucharist in the world, Christ is now saving the world, recreating his world, by the power of his spirit. Cardinal Sin said that in many places today, the ministry of the Church must be the ministry of justice, and the ministry of peacemaking. The first task of the Church in the world is to announce God's love for the world, and God's love unto death," he said.

John Paul beatifies martyred nun KINSHASA. Pope John Paul II beatified a Zairean nun bayonetted to death for resisting a rape attempt and publicly forgave her convicted killer today. "I myself, in the name of the whole church, forgive (him) with all my heart," the Pontiff said in remarks inserted at the last moment into his prepared homily. In an Assumption Day mass, Sister Anuarite Nengapeta, who was killed in 1964 at the age of 25, was declared a blessed martyr of the Church — the first African woman to receive the Church honour, a major step toward possible sainthood. A meeting predicted by Church officials between the pope and Anaurete's convicted killer did not take place. Vatican spokesman, Mr Joaquin Navarro said the nun's killer, ex -colonel Pierre Openge Olombe, did not personally request the meeting. In a newspaper interview, the pardoned killer, who lives in Kinshasa, said he hoped to be
Importance of spiritual intimacy
Catholic religious leaders should go beyond ideology and indoctrination in order to convey their personal experience of Jesus Christ acting on their lives, International Eucharistic Congress was told. This was said by the Director of Calvert House, the Catholic Student Centre at the University of Chicago in the United States, Reverend (Dr) Edward K. Braxton yesterday. It should not be assumed that simply because people are Catholics, they are open to the experience of resurrection faith which is important in establishing communion with Christ, he added. Dr Braxton also stressed the importance of having spiritual intimacy within families and communities. Reverend Braxton further said where no moral intimacy existed, it was impossible to e xplain why parents wanted their children to be sexually responsible, to reject sexism, racism, excessive materialism, religious, ethical or tribal prejudices.
Forgiveness for a killer
received by the pope during his two-day visit to express his remorse and ask for forgiveness. Mr Navarro said there was "only an indirect request" through the newspaper editor who had
interviewed ex-colonel Olombe. 'This was not good enough," he added, and the vatic,an could not act on it. Mr Navarro said Colonel Olombe, however, got what he said he wanted: Papal absolution for his crime. 'The holy father forgave not only Olombe but all the other soldiers who might have been involved (in the killing)," he added. Sister Anuarite was repeatedly bayoneted and her body thrown into a pit, after she resisted a rape attempt by colonel Olombe and other rebel
Cardinal reminds delegates of Mary Women have a major role in the family, Church and society, Carlo Maria Cardinal Martini, said at the Congress. Addressing a seminar on the "Eucharist, family and Church", held at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre, Cardinal Martini reminded participants of the role Mary, the mother of Jesus, played at a wedding ceremony in Cana.
ODE] Wine ran out and mary appealed to Jesus, who requested six jars to be filled with water. "Mary asked the waiters to do as Jesus had directed. This, the prelate said, showed the special role of women in the family, Church and society. It was also a reminder of the need to overcome inferiority complexes.
Couples wed in big ceremony The highlight of celebrations at the Nyayo National Stadium was the wedding of 25 couples, among them a young Samburu in traditional attire. Robert Lenyirt, 24, a catechist, and Anna Thayanai, 19, walked to the papal dais, escorted by their witnesses. The best maid, Rosa Usin Lesurmat, carried their one-year-old baby, Martino Ilturunyua. The baby was among those blessed by the Holy Father along with 19 others. The Samburu couple were escorted by the parish priest of Laisamis Consolata Mission who said the girl had been in the manyatta Nairibi until about a month ago when she was asked to join the 24 other couples from all the dioceses of Kenya to be married by Pope John Paul II.
Ile said Mary's intervention was done in the spirit and style of "sharing". an attitude which together with the values of maternity and domestic education could assist women rediscover their special gifts. Cardinal Martini, who is based in Milan, Italy, is the former rector of the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome. On marriage, he said without love there could be no gift. Married couples should practice such love as led to communion among themselves and their families. Sin, he said, was the worst evil and could undermine and ruin marital as well as family love. It also brought about moral disorder. Cardinal Martini appealed to married couples not to be
Prohibitions follow directives Pope John Paul II expressed concern yesterday over the difficulties facing the church-in Burundi. Directives issued there by the government prohibit virtually all religious activities during the working week and confine them to Saturday afternoons and Sundays. In his homily the pope paid tribute to the countries which sent delegates to the congress. The pope, after reading a list of the countries who sent delegates to the congress. noted that some of the countries "could not come". He added: "I send my greetings, particularly to the bishops of Burundi, whose
soldiers in north eastern Zaire, on December 1, 1964. Colonel Olombe, a 47-year -old Catholic was condemned to death in 1964. But he had his sentence reduced to life imprisonment. After serving five years in jail, he was pardoned by President Mobutu. Sister Anuarite's parents told reporters yesterday they had forgiven their daughter's killer long ago. The Pope praised "the greatness of chastity" as demonstrated by the martyred nun. (AP)
Concern about Burundi pastoral activities I entrust to the maternal protection of Mary." The bishops of Burundi could not attend the congress as a result of restrictions contained in an Interior Ministry directive issued on March 7. last year, entitled "Organising the People's Time".
Major role for women selfish as such an attitude would reduce their partners and families to "things". The eucharist provided the kind of conversion which led to reconciliation. "By participating at the eucharistic sacrifice, the Christian couple and family are called to a conversion from their vain and empty "idols" to turn to the living God, he said. The prelate said married couples could attain greater love by putting their faith in
God. Their love was "human" since it involved their partners physically and spiritually'. Through that love. God transformed it to "superhuman" love which became a "sacrament" or the sign and place of God's love. Seminar participants were urged to love their partners as Christ loved the Church.

Cardinal Martini described the family as the smallest but most fundamental cell of the Church. The married couple and their family were built into a "domestic Church" when they partook of the eucharist. The cardinal added that Christian families should propagate the Gospel to others. "Married couples and their families are irreplaceable in the process of humanising society. This is because there is no family that does not possess within itself the resources of love." he said.

It is the first exhibition of its kind in Australia and will focus exclusively on the work of Australian metalworker's from the early 19th century to the 1980's. The 100 works displayed in the exhibition have been drawn from churches throughout Australia, with the majority coming from the Catholic and Anglican Churches. Pieces on show will range from altar vessels such as chalices, ciboriums and monstrances to a wide and varied range of ceremonial accessories, including processional crosses, croziers, lecturns and jewellery.

ROME. A Turk who is alleged to have been party to the plot to shoot the Pope has denied the accusations. Sedat Su n Kadem was named by the convicted assailant Mehmet Ali Agca and was brought from Turkey to Rome under police guard. In court, however, he denied he had been in St Peter's Square on May 13 1981, denied he was the subject of photographs which Agca identified as being of him, and said he had never been out of Turkey. He had known Agca in Turkey, he admitted, but had not seen him since 1979. Another Turk, Yalcin Ozbey, now in jail in Germany, has also implicated Kadem in the attempted assassination. E EL SAN SALVADOR. Several parishioners, including two catechists were arrested in a series of raids on the San Salvador parish of St Francis in Melicano. Petrinillo de Jesus Guevara and at least three other parishioners were arrested. Two days later Guevara's wife, Consuela Contreras de Guevara, and their 18-year -old son were taken when a group of heavily armed men, some in plain clothes and some in uniform, stormed the family home. A family member present during the arrests reported that the family were tied up and forced to lie face down for three hours while the house was searched. The soldiers confiscated religious items including Bibles, catechetical training material and cassettes of Christian music.

are relatively few orphans and this makes the generosity of the McCarthys even more unique.. In recognition of that generosity A ngela McCarthy was recently nominated as Mother of the Year as an "inspiring mother in the community". Her story is an inspiring one and this week she talks to ROSLYN ROSS about the great joy she has found in her large family and the great pain that lay behind its creation.
For Angela McCarthy the three girls, Wainwright Keshna, Sacharrise and Paris are the children she desperately wanted but could not have. Her own son, Benedict, seven, was the only successful delivery in 10 traumatic pregnancies. She and her husband John had discussed adoption as the miscarriages began to mount after Benedict's "miracle" arrival in her fifth pregnancy. "But my emotional state was so awful I couldn't bear to think about it," Angela said. "John kept cutting notices out of the paper about kids who needed homes and sticking them onto the fridge but I couldn't commit myself "I know now that I wasn't meant to . . there had to be room for the girls and if we had gone ahead with adoption there would not have been Married for 11 years, Angela spent the first eight in an almost permanent state of traumatic pregnancy and the next two caught in the emotional throes of her good friend's re -discovery of cancer and ultimate death. None of it has been easy, she says, but all of it has been worthwhile. She met Gail Wainwright five years ago when her son befriended Keshna and Sacharrise. Their own friendship would grow from an inauspicious confrontation. The girls had arrived to play, clasping a note from their mother informing Angela that Sacharisse was in the process of being toilet -trained and would she therefore see to her needs at 20 minute intervals.
The family with arms open wide with love In the next three years she would be forced to move a number of times, but always staying in the same area, close to her new-found friend. She would also give birth to her third daughter and subsequently see her husband die of a brain tumour. Then her own cancer flared again and she needed her friend more than ever.
[1] El It had probably been triggered by the third pregnancy Doctors had warned her that hormonal changes caused by pregnancy posed a great threat to someone with her history of a malignant melanoma That first cancer had flared after the birth of her first daughter.
•
"At that stage Gail was in a good frame of mind," Angela said. "She talked readily of the possibilities and accepted our offer." But then followed more operations and more pain as the cancer spread up her leg. "She seemed to be in for surgery every four months," Angela said. 'When it got to her groin she said: 'You're not touching me anymore"." As the disease progressed she found it increasingly difficult to face the reality of her own death and increasingly reluctant to talk about the future of her children.

"I remember when she told me she had found a lump," Angela said. "Apparently she knocked the scar. She was too frightened to go to the doctor and it took me weeks to get her to make an appointment.'" That appointment was finally made when Angela resorted to ringing her every half hour. "I did that all day and finally she got sick of me and rang the doctor,'" she said. She was immediately admitted for surgery and the McCarthys were on hand to take care of her daughters. The young girls found no problem with the arrangement — they had already stayed many times before. When Gail came out of hospital she was faced with yet another move but so weakened by her illness she gladly accepted the McCarthy's offer to stay with them. She stayed for four months. It was then they began to talk about "what if". It was then the McCarthys said they would give the girls a home if "what if" became a reality. 000

healthy young woman of 27, separated from her husband and raising her daughters alone. She had had a malignant melanoma removed two years previously.
"I saw red," Angela said with a laugh. "I was in the middle of another awful pregnancy or just recovering from one, I can't remember, and the last thing I needed was the responsibility of toilet training someone else's child. "I stormed over to say- If you want your child toilet -trained do it yourself, but I don't want her weeing on my floor'. -I can't really remember now what got said but somehow it was all sorted out," she laughed.

Members of her own family wanted to have the children but circumstances made it difficult for any of them to realistically take-in the three little girls. -Gail knew what we had to offer was what she wanted anyway," Angela said. "Her own mother adores the children and desperately wanted them but she is living alone and in her 60s and it would have been so difficult. "Gail wanted the girls to be part of a family and we were the only ones who could give them that at the time.As the little girls moved deeper and deeper into Angela's and John's hearts they

knew they would have to force the issue. 'We had made the commitment, to Gail and to ourselves and we knew unless we acted we might lose them" she said. "In fact we had sat looking at them all playing one day and thought, 'how could we possibly take on so much? It just isn't feasible: But when Gail asked us, without hesitation we said yes. "From that moment on, our commitment was as binding as our marriage vows." But it wasn't legally binding and the McCarthys were forced the broach the painfully sensitive issue with Gail and ask for her signature on affidavits so their permanent custody and guardianship would be assured. When that was done there were no more questions.
DEE 'We had agonised initally because while we cared deeply for the girls we didn't love them" Angela said. 'They had their own mother and it wasn't our place to love them in that way." But from the time the McCarthys said "I do" to Gail as she sat in her hospital bed and officially asked them to take care of her daughters, that love began to grow. And that caused another kind of pain. 'They really did begin to be ours from that moment," Angela said. "But of course they weren't because Gail was still alive and there lived in our hearts the hope she would not die." But the love now had a life of its own, and when Gail came out of hospital and said she would collect the girls in a few days time, Angela's response was: "But you can't take my daughters." The emotional see-saw set all three swinging erratically and painfully stretched the bond of friendship. But it was an elastic bond, and while there were regrets on all sides there were never any doubts for Angela and John, and they suspect, not for Gail either. The dying period was a nightmare, says Angela. Not only for the pain their friend suffered, but for the effect it had on her daughters. "It was a dreadful death and the girls were a part of it," Angela said. That was a decision made
after talking with father John Ryan, who is closely associated with the Hospice Palliative Care Service. "Throughout that dying time, the girls were sick as often as their mother was," Angela said. 'They were only young, but they felt it. Saccarisse especially suffered and was desperately ill off and on t hroughout those long months. 'When we got into the car to go to the hospital she would lay back and start to cry and then fall asleep with the tears still on her face. "It was so hard for them to understand their mother was dying and Sacharisse especially took so long to trust me. She was so close to her mother — in fact they share a birthday —that she virtually lived the pain with her." lt was a time when trust was needed by everyone. it was needed by Gail who had to trust the people to whom she had given her daughters; by John and Angela who had to trust each other and God to stand fast to the decision they had made and it was needed by the children. Young Benedict found himself in the midst of turmoil with his life changing rapidly in front of his eyes and three little girls found themselves forced to place their trust in someone other than their mother.
OLIO It was a trust that would be tested at times but never abused. Sacharisse for one would only learn to truly trust after she had touched the body of her dead mother. Her trust had been sorely tested in one particular instance. "At one stage the girls saw Gail when she was in terrible pain . . . flinging herself around in her agony," Angela said. 'We all left in tears and Sacharisse said' Is mummy really dying?' ' I said, 'Yes, and we must pray for mummy to die because she is in so much pain.' She said: 'Yes, mummy does hurt a lot.' But the next day when we went back to the hospital, Gail looked fine. She was sitting up in bed smiling, all made up and looking beautiful. She was a very beautiful girl.
"Sacharisse turned to her mother and said: "Are you dying mummy?" "Gail said, 'Nape: and the child turned to me and the expression on her face said, 'You are a liar: "I talked it over with Father Ryan who said it was absolutely imperative the girls saw their mother dead if they were ever to trust me.'" 'We knew too, Gail had to talk to the girls and tell them she was dying and I would be their mummy. " When she did that Keshna came out and said, Would you love me: and I said; 'Of course, because I want you to be my little girl"." The decision to involve the girls in the death of their mother and to take them to the funeral was a controversial one. "It was something we felt had to be done but Gail's family were not happy about it," Angela said. But the results of that very important goodbye are only being felt now, she added. 'We have three beautiful daughters who can still chatter about 'mummy Gail' and all the things she did. They have albums full of pictures of themselves and Gail and all the people they knew," Angela said. 'We go and visit her grave and take flowers, she is
always a part of our prayers, we talk about her a lot and the kids take pictures to school of 'mummy Gail'." "Saying goodbye to 'mummy Gail' properly has meant she can live on for her daughters as a memory without pain. 'The girls all kissed her and touched her when she was dead," Angela said. -They asked all the questions that were in their hearts, and they were so happy to see her in a beautiful dress. "Sacharisse in particular had been terrified her mummy would be buried without clothes on. 'They asked about the funeral and what would happen. If she would get dirt on her face when she was buried. But more than anything, they looked at her and knew that, 'that wasn't mum, mum was gone!" At the funeral, Paris, then only two was standing under a tree with John when she said: "I want to say goodbye to mummy again." She walked to the graveside, said Angela, waved and said, "Goodbye, mummy" and then bent down, picked up a handful of dirt and threw it onto the coffin. It was, she added, the natural, instinctive response of a child who was at peace with a harsh reality. None of the girls were frightened by the experience and she believes, all have benefitted from it.
EC= With Gail's death a new life began for those who were left. The girls had already been living with the McCarthys for two months, but as soon as the two elder ones heard their mother had died their first question was: 'When do we have to move." 'They had moved so much in their short lives they could scarcely believe they were here to stay," Angela said. To some degree, she would say, the long years of dying had been graphically real, but yet tinged with unreality. It was no simple case of ending one life and beginning another . . the pain and the grief had still to heal. "In some ways it was the hardest time of all," Angela said, "because until she died
But they didn't just hope, they prayed. "We went on a weekend retreat and it was after that that we began to cope," Angela said. "Iwas at a point where I had no more prayers left."

there was always the hope she would live. "Now we had to face squarely what we had done and ask ourselves the questions that were in our mind. Everyone seemed to be sick in those first few weeks after Gail died. "I was racing around working at the para-quad centre and very involved in the theatre . . there wasn't time to be still, nor I guess, was there time to think." In those dark-edged weeks, there were times, she said, when she and John lay in bed crying and saying: -What have we done?" Those two long years had taken their toll and those who were left could only hope to find their own peace, as Gail had ultimately found hers. But they didn't just hope, they prayed. 'We went on a weekend retreat and it was after that we began to cope," Angela said. "I was at a point where I had no more prayers left.
LIED "I had been run off my feet, depressed and frightened . . . it was at the retreat that friends prayed for us who were all prayed out and brought us a prayerful healing. The healing came a few days later for Angela. As she drove to a friend's house she felt heavy within her the knowledge that she had nothing left to give. "I was sifting there when I felt this warmth rising from my chest through my shoulders and then as I looked out I saw an image of fog and above it, everything was shining," she said. "I got to my friend's house and she could see the joy on my face. That was the turning point and from then on I was okay." She frankly admits until she

"saw the light" she had been highly sceptical about such experiences. "But it happened and it was real," she added. -That night I was chattering around the kitchen having a wonderful time and Sacharisse said to the others: "Isn't it wonderful having mum so happy." "It was at that moment I decided my place was with my family. I resigned the next day and decided my career in life would be to make my family happy." It is now nine months since Gail died and the girls, says Angela, have adapted very well. Their room has been decorated for them and their
belongings have been settled permanently in place. The shelves are already full, says Angela, because more than a little hoarding goes on. Young Benedict, who had "always wanted a baby sister but hadn't expected to get the other two as well" is thoroughly enjoying his enlarged f amily. It was an easy transition, says Angela, because the children have known each other for most of their lives anyway. For Angela and John it is the large family they thought they would never have. For Angela in particular it is the purpose in life she was looking for.

"We had made the commitment, to Gail and to ourselves and we knew unless we acted we might lose them," she said. "In fact we had sat looking at them all playing one day and thought, 'how could we possibly take on so much? it just isn't feasible.' But when Gail asked us, without hesitation we said yes. "From that moment on, our commitment was as binding as our marriage vows."

Parenting though, is a dual role, she says. She is able to be a good mother because she has help and support from her husband. More than anything, she says, there is a joy in knowing, for the first time in 11 years what she is doing and where her life will lead. The years of uncertainty and pain are past but they have left fertile soil in which love can flourish. One of the bonuses, she adds, is the family not only gained three daughters, they gained a nana. "Gail's mother has been truly wonderful," she said. "It was very hard for her to see the children go to us but once she got over the hurt she was able to give all of us a great deal. "My mother lives in Newcastle so she is the only nana we have here. ' We see a lot of her and she takes the children for weekends and helps out as much as she can. 'This way she can really enjoy the children. "It would have been so difficult for her, because of her age and the circumstances to have raised the three girls alone. its wonderful to have her as part of our family "Friends have been a great help too," she said, -even though most of them thought we were mad." But it was not "madness" that brought the McCarthys to their destiny, although t here may have been moments when it fett like it

Most of the lessons took place after school, and the Vietnamese received their instruction in their own language from their Vietnamese catechist An integral part of the program was the hour a week service time. Four different hospitals were visited, and other good works such as cutting pensioner's lawns and helping St Vincent de Paul Society, were included in this part of the program. One part of the parish renewal during the time of confirmation preparation, culminated in a paraliturgy — Celebration of the Spirit in our lives -- held on August 7. Over 300 attended and joined in the scripture readings, hymns and litany of praise to the Holy Spirit, the atmosphere for which was provided by slides, sacred dance and music from the Vietnamese choir, and concluded with the presentation of the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit. A special reconciliation service Confirmed into the Community was the highlight of the week before the ceremonies.

MULTICULTURAL DOUBLE CONFIRMATION IN HIGHGATE Mons Keating was able to invite Archbishop Foley to Sacred Heart parish Highgate twice this week. The eight parish catechists and those from St Mark's College and Sacred Heart Primary School had prepared 107 candidates for the Sacrament of Confirmation, which was administered in two ceremonies. Most of the candidates were members of the Italian, Vietnamese, Burmese, Indian and Polish communities, but several other nationalities were also represented. The invitation to be confirmed was given at the parish Masses in March, and on Sunday April 28, candidates and sponsors were called to stand and commit themselves to Faith.

Delegates' Confirmation for 330 big move
More than 60 members of the Perth Antioch communities will be attending the first Australia-wide convention in Sydney on September 6. Eight Perth parishes will be represented and one young person will travel from the Geraldton parish of Bluff Point.
Pope John Paul personally conferred the sacrament of confirmation on 330 young people in St Peter's Basilica recently. During the ceremony he reminded them of his letter to the youth of the world to mark IVY, in which he said, "You must also think again — and very profoundly — about the meaning of Baptism and Confirmation.
The largest group of nine young people comes from the Hamersley parish. More than 2,000 young people are expected at the two day celebration which will mark International Youth Year for the Australian Antioch community. E very state including the Northern Territory will be represented. The Antioch movement has spread to 20 parishes in three years. In that time reaching more than 1,000 young people mainly from in the final two years of high school. Currently six parishes are preparing for their first local weekend after t he training weekend held at Aquinas College on May 18. The movement is established in Gerald-ton in the Bluff Point where parish w orker Brother Brian takes a special interest in youth affairs. Bunbury diocese is also looking towards establishing Antioch. Antioch is sometimes criticised for its overt emotionalism and display o f affection among members. In retort, members claim the early Christians did as much when others recognised them for their care and affection . . . "see how those Christians love one another". The two day gathering in Sydney should be in youth language "out of this world". A BOVE: More smiling faces of young people off to attend the Sydney Antioch convention this weekend. BACK left to right: Mark Evert (Cloverdale), Giambazzi Gabrielle (Nedlands), Glen Brown (Cloverdale). MIDDLE ROW: Sally Smith (Doubleview), Nicole Syed (Applecross), Tim Smith (Claremont). FRONT ROW: Kate krrisen (Doubleview), Therese Mayros (Applecross), Claire Pavlinovich (Lesmurdie) andMichael Ferraz (Cloverdale).
"For in these two sacraments is contained the fundamental deposit of the Christian life and vocation. "From them begins the path towards the Eucharist, which contains the fullness of the sacramental gifts granted to the christian: all the Church's spiritual wealth is concentrated in this Sacrament of love."
Youths enthuse by NICOLE S YED
It was with great enthusiasm that the youth from the Applecross Group Antioch joined together for an early breakfast to five farewell members of the group to the National Antioch Convention in Sydney. After attending the weekly Friday morning mass at St Benedicts Parish Church, about 14 members of the group gathered in the parish hall to share a tasty meal amid much laughter and good humour.
E
Attending the conference from September 5 to 9, are: Michael Montague, Paul Beeson, Nicole Syed, Therese .MaNTOS,Michael Higgs and Parish Priest Father John. A contingent of about 80 Western Australians will join 2000 other youth from throughout Australia for the first national conference. ‘. N% N. \N\. \XN:\N.X‘.\\N.N.NN•NN.N.XN\. \NN.N."\\NN.\\\N\NN."

look at e A clos it•• wing vows
Treasures in Earthen Vessels: The Vows, by Joyce Ridick, published by St Pauls, $6.95.
In this book Sister Joyce Ridick looks at "living the vows." She received her Phd. in clinical psychology from the University of Chicago in 1972 and for the past 14 years has been working with Luigi Rulla, Si and Franco Imoda, SJ in researching religious life. The contents of this research merited the International Prize for Scientific Study of Religion in Brussels. As a member of the faculty of the Institute of Psychology of the Gregorian Univer-
Book on disabled and Listening R esponding To Disabled People, prothe by duced Australian Catholic Social Welfare Comavailable mission, from the Commission (see order form below) for $6 plus $1.35 postage. "Listening and Responding to Disabled People" concerns itself with one of the most pressing needs of our time — the integration of disabled people into the mainstream of society and more specifically into the Church. This book incorporates the basic principles set down in the Vatican Document for the Year of the Disabled
Listening essential for understanding Person. It is based on the premise that disabled people should be involved in the planning and execution of the facilities, programs and services that are designed to help them. listening is essential if others are to understand disabled people and their needs. It is a unique book in so far as it provides a step-by-step process for the planning and implementation of programs/services on a parish Level and likewise on a regional/diocesan level. Practical suggestions to assist disabled people range
from those that would involve individuals or small groups to thase that would require the resources of a parish, region or diocese. The book should bring HOPE to the thousands of disabled persons (13.2% of all Australians are disabled) who need to realise that others care for them and that they have something to give to others. This study shows some of the efforts being made by many highly motivated and committed clerical, religious and lay people to integrate disabled people into the Church.
Treasures in EarthenVessels: The Vows JOICE RIDION
Sr. Joyce Ridick sity in Rome she is a professor in psychopathology, personality assessment, psychotherapy and discernment of spirits. She trains people to be leaders in formation and has given workshops and conferences throughout North America. Europe and Asia. Sister Ridick is well qualified to write such a book. Treasures in Earthen Vessels: The Vows, is a profound treatment of the vows that synthesizes the best insights from contemporary philosophy, psychology and theology as they relate to the consecrated life. The treatment is v.tolistic and highlights the manner in which body, emotions, mind and soul are united in the pursuit of a health. honest holiness. The work is positive in tone but exposes the obstacles and rationalisations that impeded both individual growth and the development of a vigorom, loving community life. For those looking for answers to their own difficulties while living the vOWN joyously or who are con-
cerned about the immaturity and problems they see in their communities, this book will prove to be an excellent guide to sorting out and clarifying complex issues. This book does not avoid issues or deal lightly with them. It challenges the reader to wrestle with the realities of religious life and to experience fully a life of responsible love of God and service to neighbour.
