Ministries in the Church are seen differently depending on the image of the Church that is used, Archbishop Foley said at a special Mass in St Mary's Cathedral last Sunday. The hierarchical image sees ministries tied to the ordained ministry of the priesthood.

The archbishop listed the main beneficiaries of the 1985 advent appeal: Emmanuel Centre $18,000; Pregnancy Help $15,000; Youthcare $12,000; Catholic Migration $11,000; Catholic Care for Intellectually Handicapped $10,000; Centrecare Catholic Cottages $10,000; Centrecare $9,000; Child care services $9,500; Hosanna House $8,000; Apostolate to Deaf $5,000; Aboriginal Apostolate $4,500; Natural Family Planning $3,000; Pregnancy Help, Rockingham $3,000; Aboriginal Cottages $2,000; Aboriginal Education, Guildford $1,000.
Other special ministers will be trained and commissioned in parishes in time for Easter next year. (See page 2.)
The archbishop said the introduction of special ministers in addition to acolytes introduced to Perth archdiocese in 1974 would enrich the Archdiocese of Perth because they are chosen to serve their parishes. 'This widening of ministry of the Eucharist enables more and more, men and women, to contribute their special gifts to the care of the Church in service of the Eucharistic community and those sick in the community.
