Journeying to the source at the 2016 RICA National Conference By Marco Ceccarelli
THERE WAS CERTAINLY no shortage of talent and rich and informative discussion at the recent Christian Initiation Australia Network National conference. Held in Perth for the first time in 20 years and organised by the RCIA National Conference Organising Committee, the four-day conference (6 to 9 October) brought together an array of state, national and international speakers who offered new and updated insights into aspects of the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). The topics covered reflected the theme of the conference – ‘Journey to the Source’ and ranged from teaching liturgy during the RCIA journey, understanding theological principals in simple language and examining the moral issues facing the RCIA to the meaning of prayer, parish collaboration, team and

parish formation, catechesis, ecumenism and liturgical music. In the opening address for the conference, Archdiocese of Perth Vicar General, Fr Peter Whitely, spoke of his own involvement in the RCIA during his time as a parish priest. He r e c ou nt e d his experiences of initiating adults into the Catholic faith approximately 30 years ago and his transition from the use of a Catholic Inquiry Centre

book which offered 20 lessons on the Catholic religion to the adoption of the RCIA. It did not take long, Fr Whitely recalled, to notice the greater benefits of the RCIA, particularly its predisposition to unite people and allow them to grow in faith by forging new relationships and friendship. “To my amazement great things began to happen in the parish,” Fr Whitely said. “Firstly, the team members began to bond with each other. Their faith and their understanding began to grow. They began to develop deep friendships with the catechumens and candidates and with their godparents and sponsors. “And then, when we started to introduce the rites into the parish Masses, the parishioners started to reach out to the catechumens and candidates. More people became involved, more parish groups, music ministry, liturgy committee, social committee…
all building relationships with one another. Extended family members of the various groups came to know the catechumens and their families. The consequence was that an atmosphere of welcome and support developed and spread through the parish,” Fr Whitely added. Fr Whitely went on to emphasise the importance of taking a patient, unhurried and attentive approach to the RCIA. “In bringing people into relationship with God, we have to allow the Lord to do his work – not rush people though the process according to our time agenda or even their time agenda to become Catholic. It is the Lord who gives faith. It is important to walk fully through the process giving the Lord time to do his work in each individual,” Fr Whitely said. Full Text available at

AT CATHOLIC YOUTH MINISTRY CAMP By Rachel Curry
A record number of young people were called to rediscover Saint Pope John Paul II’s immortal words, “Life with Christ is a wonderful adventure”, at Catholic Youth Ministry’s annual Teens Camp last weekend. The Pope’s message served as a theme throughout the event, which took place at Bickley Outdoor Recreation Camp from Friday, 9 October to Sunday, 11 October and attracted its biggest ever turnout, with 56 young people and 12 youth leaders. Youth Worker at Catholic Youth Ministry (CYM), Josh Low, said the camp was open to Catholics and nonCatholics alike from Years 7 to 12 who wanted to have fun and make friends in a positive Christian environment. “The purpose of it is to present a viewpoint of Catholic faith that they’re not necessarily getting in society, to give them an opportunity to explore their faith and learn a bit more about it and hopefully to inspire them to seek out their faith on their own as well,” he said.

“It was something that was said at the end of the camp: the adventure continues from here.” Presenters at the camp included the Archdiocese of Perth’s Youth Chaplain, Father
Brennan Sia, and Assistant Director of Vocations, Fr Mark Baumgarten, alongside Mr Low and CYM youth leaders Eliza McKay, Matt Woodford, Montana McCann and Rachel Hicks.
Attendees also had the chance to take part in various adventure activities, including search and rescue tasks and raft building, make their own personalised T-shirts and perform in a talent show. Mr Low said the feedback from the young people in attendance had been really positive. “I had one of the kids come up to me and say, ‘It’s such an inspiration to have something like this’,” he said. “They enjoy the adventure activities, of course, but they also really appreciate the talks, which are about things that they don’t really have the chance to explore with their friends at school. “It kind of enables them, if they’re not doing so already, to actively seek out their faith. All we can do is plant seeds and hopefully the fruit will grow.” For more information about Catholic Youth Ministry, visit www.cym.com.au. Full Text available at

NEW PERSONAL ADVOCACY SERVICE DIRECTOR CALLS FOR VOLUNTEERS By Rachel Curry
RAY RYAN HAS WASTED NO TIME sinking his teeth into his new role as Executive Director of Personal Advocacy Service. Established in 1989, the Archdiocesan agency provides opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities to be included in community life by pairing them with a volunteer, or ‘advocate’, with whom they can develop a meaningful friendship. Each pair attends a weekly gathering with other advocates and people with disabilities, who they refer to as ‘friends’, where they can further develop their social skills and build relationships. Mr Ryan started working with the agency in May, but told The eRecord he already had a lot on his plate, including the transition to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), expansion plans and volunteer recruitment. “It’s been a very steep learning curve because the not-for-profit sector and the charity sector and working in the Archdiocesan community is a completely new experience for me,” he said. “Probably the biggest challenge we’re facing at the moment is the transition to the National Disability Insurance Scheme funding, so that changes our whole funding arrangements. “We’re also looking at expanding into Notre Dame (Cloverdale) Parish and Subiaco Parish, so we’ll be looking for volunteers in those parishes in the near future.” Mr Ryan has a background in sales marketing and management in the building supplies industry, meaning his new role at Personal Advocacy Service is a big change for him. However, he is confident he can transfer his skills from the commercial sector and make a real difference to the lives of people with intellectual disabilities. “It was something where I felt I wanted to contribute more to the community, rather than just in a commercial field, where you contribute to the profit of the owners,” he said. “I’m at the stage of my life where I want

to get more meaning out of my work. It’s great going home at the end of the day knowing you did more than meet sales targets or bring in a new customer.” Mr Ryan also brings vast experience working with volunteers from his many years serving in the St Vincent de Paul Society and has personal connections to the disability sector. “I’ve got a daughter who is legally blind and my wife works as an educational assistant in special needs, so I’ve been on the periphery of being involved in that for a long time,” he said. “I’m aware of some of the challenges people face and the need for people to step up and contribute.” When it comes to contributions, Personal Advocacy Service has a wonderful stable of volunteers, some of whom have developed relationships with their friends for more than 20 years. However, Mr Ryan said they desperately needed a few more people to step up. “We’re looking for volunteers in Morley in particular. We desperately
need volunteers from this area, and that means the surrounding parishes as well,” he said. “We’re looking for people who can spare a couple of hours of a weekday evening during the school term and who are prepared to make an initial two-year commitment.” Volunteers do not need to have any experience working with people with intellectual disabilities and all training is provided. Mr Ryan said the service had a “huge" impact on the friends, but was also a positive experience for the advocates. “The volunteers all report that they get more out of it than they put in – personal satisfaction, making a difference in someone’s life, spiritual development and forming friendships with a group of likeminded people,” he said.

Pallottine priest celebrates remarkable Platinum Jubilee By Marco Ceccarelli
This year has been particularly significant for Father Joseph Kearney SAC. The 95 year old recently celebrated the 70 year ‘Platinum’ anniversary of his ordination with a Mass at Our Lady Queen of Apostles in Shelley and was officially congratulated by Perth Archbishop Timothy Costelloe for so many years of loyal and dedicated priestly ministry. Self-described as a “naturalised sandgroper,” the Victorianborn Pallottine recently spoke to The eRecord about his life journey with striking lucidity and a captivating sense of wit. FR KEARNEY grew up in a devoted Catholic family in the Melbourne suburb of Moonee Ponds and, at the age of seven, moved with his family to the Victorian town of Hepburn Springs. Having received his primary education in a convent school and secondary education at St Patrick’s College in Ballarat, Fr Kearney contemplated the idea of becoming a priest throughout his teenage years and eventually joined the Pallottines in 1940. A six-year spiritual and academic formative journey with the Pallotines thus began for Fr Kearney as he ventured into philosophy, theology and scripture with the help of a number of Franciscans in Melbourne. While undertaking his studies, Fr Kearney also harboured a desire to work in remote

parts of Australia, the top-end of Western Australia in particular, and be of assistance to Aboriginal people. He was ordained to the priesthood on 28 July 1946 by then Melbourne Archbishop Daniel Mannix and lived his first year as a priest in Melbourne, while keeping in regular contact with the Bishop of Beagle Bay who had called for priests. Fr Kearney eventually arrived to WA in 1948 and served in Broome until 1956. During his service, he would visit the small Aboriginal community of Balgo, the first time

for 18 months and the second time for six months. “The fondest memories of my priesthood are those from the time I spent in Balgo in 1955,” he recalls. “There was a mutual trust with the Aboriginal people that made things work. We trusted them and they trusted us. I did a number of baptisms, holy communions and confirmations while there.” Fr Kearney remained in WA for another decade as he relocated north of Broome, in the town of Beagle Bay, from 1961 to 1969. At the end of 1969, he was
voted in as Regional Superior of the Pallottines and moved to the headquarters of the organisation in Melbourne, within the suburb of Kew, to serve two three-year terms. In 1975, he was appointed as rector of a house for students in Box Hill, Melbourne, before returning to the Pallottine headquarters to serve as secretary and bursar for another three years. It was after this final appointment in Melbourne that Fr Kearney arrived to Perth in 1981 and served in Rossmoyne, where he currently resides. Fr Kearney was chaplain to what was known as a hostel accommodation for high school and apprentice aged Aboriginal children from the Kimberley and Gascoyne regions. The hostel, which closed in the late 1990s, enabled boys and girls to be educated to Year 12 at local schools or to be apprenticed to local businesses. Fr Kearney was also stationed as a chaplain in Geraldton from 1986 until his retirement in 1996. He remained active, serving various parishes in need of a priest throughout WA, until 2008. The Mass for his 70-yearanniversary was celebrated by Parish Priest of Our Lady Queen of Apostles Fr Paul Manickathan SAC and concelebrated by Fr Ray Hevern SAC, Fr John Flynn SAC and Fr Kearney himself.
