New St John of God Hospital Opens AN OFFICIAL opening ceremony was last week held for the new St John of God Hospital Midland – just four days before it was set to open its doors to the public. Perth Archbishop Timothy Costelloe led an ecumenical reflection together with other West Australian religious leaders, including Chief Rabbi of WA, Rabbi Dovid Freilich OAM; Baptist Church of WA’s Reverend Philip Bryant; Sheikh Hisham, Imam of Islamic Council of WA; Sikh Temple’s Head Priest Jasvinder Singh; Anglican Parish of Midland Church Warden Lynne Oliver and Buddha Light International’s Venerable Miaoxi Shih. Prior to blessing the new hospital, the Archbishop said that, as a facility under the care of a Catholic organisation, the hospital will be grounded in the mercy, compassion, and respect for the worth and dignity of every human person, which are the values we have learnt from the teaching and actions of Jesus. They are of course, he continued, values which are at the heart of every religion, every faith, and are found in the heart of every person. The Archbishop also said it is his hope, his expectation and his prayer that everyone who engages with this hospital, whether as staff, as visitors or as patients, will experience a sense of being deeply honoured, valued and respected.

Officer, Dr Michael Stanford, said the event was a special celebration for St John of God Health Care (SJGHC) with the St John of God Midland Public Hospital (SJGMPH) set to open on time and on budget. “The new hospital will build on our long history of working closely with State and Federal Governments to provide health services in Western Australia, Victoria and New South Wales,” he said. “As an organisation, we are committed to growing our involvement in publiclyfunded health care and we look forward to SJGMPH being the centrepiece of that growth.” The opening of the hospital, and its affiliated private hospital, will see SJGHC operating 23 facilities across Australia and New Zealand.
SJGMPH Chief Executive Officer, Dr Glen Power, said the organisation was looking forward to opening the hospital’s doors to the public and providing new and expanded health care services to the region. “I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many people who spent the past three years undertaking the design and construction of this magnificent facility, and those who have worked tirelessly over the past six months undertaking an intensive commissioning program to ensure the hospital is ready for opening,” he said. The $360 million hospital will be delivering higher acuity and complex clinical services in many areas than currently available at Swan District Hospital, such as intensive care, coronary care and cancer care. It is also pro-
viding expanded services in emergency, paediatrics, aged care and rehabilitation, surgery, medicine and mental health. In recognition of the partnership arrangement between SJGHC and the State Government to build and operate the hospital, both partners were involved in the event and proceedings reflected the hospital’s focus on the local community. Speakers at the event included the Premier of Western Australia, the Hon Colin Barnett MLA; Federal Assistant Minister for Health, the Hon Ken Wyatt; WA Minister for Health, the Hon Dr Kim Hames MLA; SJGHC Chairman of Trustees, Eva Skira; and SJGHC Group CEO, Dr Michael Stanford.

Christians and Jews commemorate Nostra Aetate at historical meeting By Marco Ceccarelli
AN EVENT of major historical dimensions for Catholics and for Jews. With these simple yet poignant words, President of the Perth Hebrew Congregation, Julian Sher, last week opened the commemoration of the Vatican II document on Christian-Jewish relations, Nostra Aetate (In Our Times). Held at the Perth Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on the evening of 18 November, the event saw more than 500 Catholics and Jews of Perth unite in an amicable spirit of concord, respect and fraternity. Perth Catholic Archbishop Timothy
Costelloe and Chief Rabbi David Freilich led the official party and members of the two congregations in reflection and prayer, emphasising the historical significance of the event for two religions which share so much common ground. Also present within the official party were Emeritus Chief Rabbi Dr Shalom Coleman; Lord Mayor of Perth, The Honourable Lisa Scaffidi; Chairman of the Council of Western Australian Jewry, David Denver; Deputy Leader of the Opposition, the Honourable Kate Doust; Speaker of Legislative Assembly, Honourable Michael Sutherland – MLA; as well as the Rectors of Perth’s two seminaries, Fr Michael Moore, Redemptoris
Mater, Seminary and Rev Mgr Kevin Long, St Charles’ Seminary. The evening was also one of mixed emotions as the joy of commemorating a document that initiated the breakdown of so many barriers between Christianity and Judaism also brought to the surface the sorrow of the history of hostility between the two sides. Furthermore, Rabbi Freilich’s impassioned prayer for the victims of the recent Paris terrorist attacks was an urgent reminder that more attention must be paid to the value of the sanctity of human life that both religions so firmly stand for. Following the singing of Psalm 84

by the Redemptoris Mater seminarians and an equally soul-stirring rendition of Uvenocho Yomar by the Perth Jewish Male Choir and Perth Hebrew Congregation Choir, Archbishop Costelloe was invited to address the congregation. Emphasising how privileged and honoured he felt to attend the momentous occasion, Archbishop Costelloe expressed a sincere hope that his presence would be a sign of the growing friendship and mutual respect developing between the Jewish and Catholic communities. The Archbishop also referred to the history of strained relations between the two religions, making his position on the matter very clear. “The long history of relationships
between our two communities of faith has been a troubled one, to say the least. This evening marks another step, small though it might be, in the journey towards reconciliation. It is a journey which calls our two communities forward, never forgetting the past, but determined to make the future look very different,” he added. Reflecting on the notion, present in the book of Genesis and mentioned in Nostra Aetate, that humans are created “in the image of God”, Archbishop Costelloe went on to interpret the encounter between the first man, Adam, and the first woman, Eve, as the pivotal moment in which both truly live out their vocation of being made in the image of their Creator.
“There is a profound truth in all of this regarding what being human is really all about. It is a truth which is confirmed by our human experience, even though at times we can seem to be pushed by inner and outer forces in the opposite direction. “Human beings, men and women, you and me - are made for communion, not isolation. We are made for inter-dependence, not independence. We are made in such a way as to need each other, not in such a way as to be able to stand on our own two feet and be alone. This is why marriage matters, why family matters, why community matters. It is why religious freedom, and religious tolerance, and religious sensitivity matter,” the Archbishop said. 2
In response, Rabbi Freilich applauded the Archbishop’s listing of shared JudeoChristian values before expanding on the values of loving one’s fellow human being, forgiveness and compassion. “What we see tonight is truly as it should be,” the Rabbi said. “United in love, unified in forgiveness, and unified in the sanctity of life. Despite the theological differences that we may have, we share common values, values which the world needs so urgently today. I hope and pray that what we are doing tonight, our two religions coming together, the one which at present is numerically the largest in the world and the one which is the smallest numerically in the world, will show truly what religion stands for,” he added. Rabbi Freilich went on to mention how the pontificates of John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul II, Benedict and Francis did much to raise Christianity’s awareness towards its Jewish roots. In particular, he referred to John Paul
II’s description of Jewish people as “elder brothers”, Benedict’s reference to the Hebrew people as “fathers in our faith” and Pope Francis’ strong friendship with an Argentinian Rabbi, as examples of a developing reconciliation. “Whatever our religion, or faith, we should be proud. We must portray at its highest that love of God is love of humanity. The need is growing for the enriching vision of the dignity of every human being, which is an idea at the heart of Christianity and Judaism. “Tonight’s gathering shows the truth, this taught not in theology, but by personal example. Tonight’s gathering is a testimony to a loving God, through humanity, harmony love and peace. I am proud to say that, in WA, the spirt of Nostra Aetate is shown, not just simply in words or ceremonies, but by the Catholic Church through deed,” the Rabbi said. Filled with other musical interludes, one of which (Psalm 23) was sung by
a small choir form Majella Catholic Primary School, the event concluded with a video presentation of The Suffering of the Innocents - a symphony by the Orchestra and Quire of the Neocatechumenal Way. Composed in 2012 by founder of the Neocatechumenal Way, Kiko Argüello, The Suffering of the Innocents pays homage to the Holocaust victims and was offered to the Jewish people as a sign of love and reconciliation. In particular, it creates a parallel between the suffering of the Virgin Mary under the cross and the Jewish mothers who witnessed their children perish in the death camps. As the video concluded, the Redemptoris Mater Seminarians led the congregation in singing the Shema Israel – a final gesture of unity in prayer under the One God of two great religions.

New book details work of Bishop
Salvado at Benedictine mission A NEW BOOK that details the writings of Bishop Rosendo Salvado and his work among the Noongar people at the Benedictine Mission in the late 1800s was last month launched at a joint City of Subiaco-New Norcia function. Author Dr Stefano Girola, Honorary Fellow, Faculty of Theology and Philosophy from Australian Catholic University (ACU), launched his new book, Report of Rosendo Salvado to Propaganda Fide in 1883, following his original doctorate research which looked at the policies and attitudes of the Catholic Church with regard to Indigenous Australians from 1885 to 1967. The book, which has been translated from Italian into English, is a long report that Bishop Rosendo Salvado wrote to Propaganda Fide in Rome, providing a detailed account of the Benedictine mission among the Noongar people of Western Australia, illustrated by the origins, development and condition of New Norcia from 1844 to 1883. Originally hailing from Milan and now residing in Brisbane, Dr Girola teaches European and world history at the University of Southern Queensland, and began translating the Salvado report in 2012 after receiving a New
Norcia Abbot Placid Spearritt Memorial Scholarship. The book was launched by Dr Joshua Brown from the University of Western Australia, organised by the Benedictine community of New Norcia, and attended by Mr David Balloni, Italian Consul in Perth, and Ms Heather Henderson, Mayor of Subiaco. “Salvado is one of the most interesting figures in the history of colonial WA,” Dr Girola said of the Spanish monk who, after arriving in Perth in January 1846, famously walked “around 100 miles” north through bush to live among Aboriginal people. “Until today, those interested in reading in English Salvado’s recollections of New Norcia had to rely on his historical memoirs… published in Rome in 1851 and translated into English only in 1977. “Instead, the document I translated and edited carries the historical narrative on New Norcia up to 1883. “This was a report that, in 1882, the Vatican Congregation of Propaganda Fide asked Salvado to write; following Rome’s orders, he composed a very detailed account… providing invaluable information to all those interested in the relationships between Europeans and Noongars in the 19th century.”

Meet Alison… there’s no stopping her now was offered a place to study a Diploma of Community Service.” Cent acare’s Program Manager, Carmel Jennings, said GATE has produced some terrific outcomes. “At course completion, 50 per cent of participants had commenced in employment or work experience and those not working were planning or had embarked on further education or training,” Ms Jennings said.
Centacare Employment and Training is a not-for-profit, registered training organisation, delivering flexible education courses and fully accredited vocational education and training specifically for disadvantaged and/or marginalised members of the community. PHOTO: MARCO CECCARELLI
Alison joined Centacare Employment and Training’s Kadadjiny Bidi - meaning ‘Learning Path - program in February 2015. Also known as Gaining Access to Training and Employment, or GATE, the program provides support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders to build new skills towards further training and employment. It includes practical help to build confidence, develop computer skills, communication skills, reading and writing, career planning and development, interview skills, maths and numeracy, help with pro-
jects and support to find work experience. Alison was referred to Centacare Employment and Training by her Jobactive provider in Armadale, who suggested that the course might be suitable as a launching pad to venture into something more vocational down the track. Prior to joining the GATE program, Alison had been caring for her children. As the children were getting older, Alison was keen to brush up on a few skills and find new direction. “The GATE program has been really good,” said Alison. “I have been able to meet
new people and learn new skills. “We organised our stand for the NAIDOC Day in July and we made handicrafts and sold our artwork and cards at the event as a way to attract people to the stand.” Centacare’s Aboriginal Community Development Officer, Simone Collard, said Alison has been a great student. “She’s been very keen to learn and complete all her units,” Ms Collard said. “She obtained the full GATE Certificate and, shortly after she finished, she enrolled at college in Cannington and
