ARCHBISHOP ANNOUNCES NEW ROLES FOR
ARCHDIOCESAN PLAN IMPLEMENTATION SUMMARY COPIES of the new Archdiocesan Plan have now been sent for distribution to parish communities, Archbishop Timothy Costelloe has this week announced. The Archbishop has also announced the appointment of the Vicars who will assume responsibility for key strategy areas as outlined in the Plan. • Episcopal Vicar for Adult Faith Formation and Parish Renewal – Bishop Don Sproxton • Episcopal Vicar for Archdiocesan Growth and Development – Fr Peter Whitely • Episcopal Vicar for Communications and Media – Fr Peter Whitely • Episcopal Vicar for
Clergy (continuing) – Fr Brian McKenna • Vicar for Outreach to Those in Need – Dr Terry Wilson Over the next few months, each of the Vicars will determine what support structures they will need in order to begin to implement details of the Archdiocesan Plan. The resourcing of these support structures will be overseen by Archdiocesan CEOAdministration, Mr Greg Russo. In due course, after discussions with the Vicars and Mr Russo, the Archbishop will propose a review structure which will enable the Archdiocese to monitor and review the progress of implementation of the Plan across
its proposed five year life span. The Archbishop also explained that a communications plan will be developed to ensure that regular updates of progress are communicated as widely as possible. “It is worth recalling that Vicars, including Vicars General, Episcopal Vicars and (lay) Vicars share in the governance of the diocese in those areas delegated to them by the Bishop,” Archbishop Costelloe said. “Vicars General (Bishop Don and Fr Peter Whitely) exercise the ordinary authority of the bishop, always according to the mind of the bishop. Other vicars have delegated authority in the areas
entrusted to them specifically by the bishop,” he added. The Archdiocese of Perth also has two other episcopal vicars, those being the Episcopal Vicar for Health, Fr Richard Smith, and the Episcopal Vicar for Migrants, Fr Benedict Lee. “Thank you for your support in these initial stages of the development and implementation of the Archdiocesan Plan,” the Archbishop said. “Let us entrust its success to the Lord, and to the prayers of the patron of our Archdiocese, Mary, the Mother of the Lord and the Church,” he concluded.

MERCY COLLEGE ATTRACTS STAR POWER FOR RE WEEK A BISHOP, an AFL footballer, an academic and a hip-hop musician have helped students at Mercy College in Koondoola celebrate the school’s inaugural Religious Education Week. Held from 20 to 24 June, the aim of the week was to highlight Religious Education as the first and key learning area in Catholic schools, according
to co-ordinator, Salvatore De Luca. “The focus of the week was one of celebrating the Religious Education learning area, as a Kindergarten to Year 12 school, and that focus definitely prevailed,” he said. “The Student Representative Council, led by the Liturgy Councillors, took a very active
role in the week and led the large student contingent who ran activities. “It’s been an absolutely amazing week. There has been a wonderful buzz around the campus.” The Religious Education Week featured liturgical celebrations, activities and games, and a variety of guest speakers
who engaged with students. Archdiocese of Perth Auxiliar y Bishop, Don Sproxton, visited the school, as did West Coast Eagles player, Jonathon Giles, who gave an engaging presentation about the importance of faith in his life. Continue on page 2 1

Academic lecture sheds new
light on Jesus’ impact on society By Caroline Smith
SENIOR FELLOW at Melbourne’s Catholic Theological College, Professor Francis Moloney SDB, captivated an attentive audience at the Centre for Faith Enrichment on 20 May, delivering a lecture on the message of John 13; in particular, the foot washing and the gift of the morsel. Referring to the original text of John 13, he led attendees through the significance of each verse, and how each reflected on Jesus’ wider message and purpose. Professor Moloney had been invited to Perth by Archbishop Timothy Costelloe – a fellow member of the Salesians of Don Bosco – and, while here, he also spoke to priests of the Archdiocese on the topic of his recent paper, The Jesus Mediation. This paper examines the character of Christ and how He fitted into the Jewish tradition of His time. One point underlined in the paper was Jesus’ decision to interact with the poor, and with those whom religious leaders deemed to be sinners, rather than the leaders themselves. In this way, continued Professor Moloney, he broke away from religious tradition, emphasising a more authen-

tic relationship between God and man. “In His way of imagining the world, what finally mattered in human life was not your virtue, nor your guilt; not your social position, not your achievements; certainly not your merits or possessions,” Professor Moloney said, in the paper. “It was your faith that mattered, that fundamental openness of heart before God.” Professor Moloney added that this message could provide a useful point of reflection for the Church – particularly in the Jubilee Year of Mercy.
“The Jesus I describe in the Meditation is very much the Jesus that Pope Francis is looking for,” Professor Moloney said. “He reflects on the fact that we need to question the status quo - I think this vision of Jesus is very relevant to the time – especially for the marginalised.” The paper also describes how the parables used by Christ to convey His vision often contradicted the wisdom of the time.

student (now seminarian at St Charles’ Seminary), Dominic Sandon. Mr De Luca said the college gymnasium was packed out for a special soccer game between Mercy College Soccer Academy students and the visiting priests and seminarians, during which both sides were kept on their toes. “The students were taken aback, even though they won the game, that the priests and seminarians had a very high skill level and could play, which certainly removed the misconception that priests simply say Mass and administer the Sacraments,” he said. Each lunchtime commenced with grace being said over the PA system by primary school students, which gave way to lunchtime activities such as a staff gala musical performance. Mr De Luca said he had hoped to engage

as many students as possible through the Religious Education Week. “Religion offers so much and is so diverse and multi-faceted, so the week mirrored that with a wide variety of activities, from the celebration of Mass and the
Sacraments to guest speakers to sport to music to art,” he said. “The emphasis was on there being something for everyone.” Full Text available at

NEW INITIATIVE SEES CATHOLIC EDUCATION WA FORGE NEW PATHS IN TEACHING AND LEARNING By Marco Ceccarelli
INNOVATION IS IDEAS, plus implementing them. With these words, CEO of Catholic Education Western Australia (CEWA), Tim McDonald, recently described a new initiative aimed at providing those working within CEWA with the permission and confidence to create change. Entitled “Studio Curious”, the initiative acknowledges innovation as a key element to effective learning, yet considers ways of implementing innovative ideas as a fundamental step that will enable students to flourish and teachers to reach their full potential. Together with one of Australia’s leading innovation consultancies, Knowledge Society, CEWA is set to forge new paths within Catholic education that will enable members of its community – teachers, principals and other staff - to be educational front runners in an increasingly
Studio Curious is designed to provide educators with the permission and confidence to create change; promote knowledge of evidence-based best practice in education; and encourage new connections. PHOTO: SUPPLIED
interconnected world. By combining a fit-for-purpose space with a rigorous and creative process, Studio Curious encourages participants to come together, share ideas and learn about what is occurring around the world at the cutting edge of education, pedagogy, and school and education reinvention. Placed within Studio Curious’ six-week Accelerator Program, participants will practise and learn “design thinking” for education. A proven discipline for realising ideas and solving problems, design thinking
focuses on observing the needs of real people and the solutions they desire. As a creative and thoughtful way of bringing ideas to life, it also allows thinkers to explore the multiple pathways that might lead to the right answer. Pa r t icipa nt s of t he Accelerator Program will also learn about innovation across the economy and in different social settings. Through a range of collaborative activities, they will apprehend how to research and realise a project or initiative that is important to them, prototype it and test it for wider use in
their school, community or the system at large. Finally, they will become acquainted with designthinking techniques and a human-centred methodology for solving problems. All Catholic Education Western Australia staff, of any age, location or experience level, are welcome to apply.

SISTER MARGARET SEES HOPE WITHIN
THE TURMOIL OF SOUTH SUDAN
By Caroline Smith
DESPITE CONTINUING conf lict and civil war in South Sudan, the country’s people – particularly the young – have hope for the future, with education a particular focus. This was the message of Sister Margaret Scott RNDM, who was visiting Perth recently to speak of her experiences as principal of a teacher training college in the town of Yambio, and her work with a group of religious and some lay people who have come together under the group named Solidarity with South Sudan. Addressing a room of people at Highgate’s Catholic Pastoral Centre on 19 June, Sr Margaret said that, despite tribal conflict between the different tribal groups, the college strove to bring people together. “We talk about them coming together in solidarity as one – they are brothers and sisters together,” she said. “We really try and work with them around the issue of leaving their tribalism at the gate and being together.” The training college was set up eight years ago by Solidarity with South Sudan, including the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions, of which Sr Margaret is a member. She told attendees of its development, including plans for a library attached to the current compound. However, Sr Margaret highlighted that the college

faced some challenges with a continuing civil war and armed conflict causing fear among local people, staff and students. “We ended up with our state being very insecure,” she said. “In our area at night, there were no men – they would be hiding so they wouldn’t be taken by the Rebels. “Our compound manager, a young man, would come and sleep at our house every night - people were living in fear.” This situation prompted the government to place a curfew on the region, initially starting from 10pm, but later pushed back to 6pm until 6am when fighting intensified. “I was resonsible for about 100 students, and they were terrified,” Sr Margaret said. “When they heard gunshots outside, they wanted to run. So it was very difficult for us.”
THE eRECORD is produced by the
Howe ve r, t he compound itself was lucky to avoid being targeted until December last year, when a group of men broke in and assaulted several of the Sisters. “Young men with guns came and threatened our Sister who was locking up: they demanded phones, computers, money and veh icle s,” Sr M a rga ret explained. One of the Sisters who was badly hurt decided to return home to the United States after the attack, but said she felt no bitterness towards the local people, who had themselves been targeted in similar incidents. “Many of the local people knew something had happened – they had been attacked by these boys and been told to lie on the ground and had their phones taken off them,” Sr Margaret said.

“Afterwards, they came in to express their sorrow at what had happened.” Despite these travails, the college would continue to operate, providing students with a two-year teaching qualification and English classes, she added. “We have 119 students in the college doing pre-service - about 20 of them will finish at the end of June, and they will have their graduation ceremony,” Sr Margaret said. “We have an intake in March and an intake in July. “The se student s and young people, they want to do something for their country, they want to teach and help out their younger brothers and sisters and, if they keep on with that attitude, things will change.
