recognised at Missioning Celebration By Caroline Smith The Holy Spirit gives us strength to do important works in the world, such as helping others, Auxiliary Bishop Donald Sproxton told Personal Advocacy Service volunteers, at their annual Missioning Celebration. The celebration was held on Sunday 12 February at the Personal Advocacy Service WA (PAS) centre in Morley, with 14 people receiving the Archdiocesan Award for Outstanding Service in recognition of their ministry over 10,15,20 and 25 years. A total of 73 volunteers were ‘missioned’ and blessed in recognition of their support for people with intellectual disabilities. In his homily, Bishop Sproxton recounted how Jesus was able to fulfil the Law of Moses perfectly through His words and actions, and how
His spirit can give us the inspiration to put our faith into action. “The good news from Matthew’s Gospel is that it is possible for us to choose to be the best, because with the death and resurrection of Jesus, we are given His Spirit, and it is with this Spirit that we are able to do wonderful things, to be extraordinary people in our world today, to be great witnesses of our faith, and to live that faith as well as we can and be the best that we can be in our faith,” he said. “Only with that Spirit of Jesus is it possible for us to do. And when you look at what you do and what so many wonderful people in the Church do, you might say, if I get involved in these things and am able to do these wonderful works, it’s because the Spirit of Jesus is in me too.” He added that during tough times, volunteers could look
back on the work they had done, and see the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, knowing that it could give them strength again. “The fact that you have been able to do this work for such a long time, so faithfully, with great commitment, great energy, despite all the misgivings, is a sign to me that the Holy Spirit is in you and working in you,” Bishop Sproxton said. “You might remember that, when you’re having a bad day, or when it’s not going the way that you want it to. Remember the times when it did work. “Sometimes we need those memories of the sense of success that the Spirit working with me has been able to achieve.” PAS was set up in 1989 by Sister Eileen Casey rsm following calls from parents of people with disabilities who wanted their children to
be included in the life of the Church, and able to access the sacraments. The agency was established to fulfil this need, through one-to-one friendships and spiritual development. List of recipients for the Archdiocesan Award for Outstanding Service: 10 years: Dora Carbone, Harold Baldsing, Ian Digney, Robyn Hoffman, Germaine Matison, Eugen Mattes, Trevor Reid and Jillian Ryan. 15 years: Maria Guagliardo, Greg D’Souza and Jean Rodrigues. 20 years: Colleen Van Haeften. 25 years: Nada Clastres and Tom Tranter.

Online and face-to-face courses a perfect way of entering into Lenten journey By Marco Ceccarelli WITH THE SEASON OF LENT fast approaching, the Centre for Faith Enrichment (CFE) – the adult faith formation agency of the Perth Archdiocese - is offering a number of short, captivating and engaging courses and events for anyone seeking to better understand and observe this particular period of the liturgical year. From taking a closer look at The Book of Exodus via an online course, to the exploration of Lent as the discovery of a “call to new life” that is at the heart of our baptism, people throughout our Archdiocese will have the opportunity to better engage with their Catholic faith. This term, Perth Priest and author of Jesus Matters (St Paul’s Publications), Fr Charles Waddell, will offer participants a chance to interactively explore scripture from the comfort of their own home by delivering two online courses: The Book of Exodus for Lent and The Gospel of Matthew. These will be complemented by a three-week, face-to-face, course by Sister Wendy Lailey RSJ, entitled My Journey: Lent to New Life, to be held at the parish centre of Holy Rosary Church in Nedlands. Sister Shelley Barlow RNDM will also be giving a Lenten

themed course, entitled Three Tuesday Mornings in Lent, to be held at Newman Siena Centre in Doubleview in the month of March. Lastly, Deacon Greg Lowe will address the theme of “spiritual nourishment” during Lent in his one-off talk, Spiritual Nourishment for Our Lenten Journey, at St Pius X Parish on two Sundays, 5 March and 2 April (details below). Recently appointed Director of The Centre for Faith Enrichment, Dr Marco Ceccarelli, emphasised the importance of engaging in
adult faith formation within the Archdiocese of Perth and commented on Centre for Faith Enrichment’s role in facilitating this engagement. “The courses offered by our cent re are br ief, ver y affordable, do not involve tests or assignments, and may address a particular interest or curiosity which someone has about their faith. This may in turn lead them to pursue further interest in areas such as spirituality, Church history, theology, scripture, Christian living and much more.
“There is a richness within our Catholic tradition that, if conveyed by talented presenters such as the ones we have at the Centre for Faith Enrichment, can be of incredible help to people on their faith journey. I would encourage anyone with a desire, small as it may be, to know more about their faith to try at least one of our courses or simply contact us.
Some of the Lenten themed courses and events on offer in Term 1 are:

Notre Dame conferred a Doctor of Laws to the Hon Neville Owen for his tireless and faithful commitment to the legal profession, most notably as the Senior PHOTO: SUPPLIED Judge of the Court of Appeal of the WA Supreme Court, at its Graduation Ceremony on Wednesday 14 December 2016.
Notre Dame confers Honorary Doctorate to Neville Owen THE UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME has conferred a Doctor of Laws to the Honourable Neville Owen for his tireless and faithful commitment to the legal profession, most notably as the Senior Judge of the Court of Appeal of the WA Supreme Court, at its Graduation Ceremony at the end of 2016. Mr Owen is a former Chancellor of the University and has been an active contributor to the University community since 1997 when he was a founding member of the School of Law Advisory Board. He was appointed as a Governor of The University of Notre Dame Australia in 1997, and a Trustee and Director of the institution in 2005. In 2011, Notre Dame named its newly restored courthouse on the Fremantle Campus in his honour. The Justice Owen Moot Court aims to inspire future lawyers to approach their professional life in the same ethical light that the Hon Owen did throughout his career. With a special interest in corporate governance, commercial litigation, corporate insolvency and business ethics, Mr Owen’s legal career was wide and varied. Most notably, he oversaw the Bell Group litigation, which commenced in 2003, and was one of Australia’s longest running and most expensive civil actions. After 400 sitting days and the tender of more than 85,000 documents, the then Hon Justice Owen delivered his final judgement in 2008.
“Mr Owen is a man of the highest integrity and ethical standards. He is a man of decency, intelligence, wisdom and humility. He is someone who fulfils duty and obligation, and he does so with goodness and humanity. “He is a man of character and he is a man of faith, who has used his considerable gifts and talents in the service of others and for the betterment of society,” Professor Celia Hammond, Notre Dame’s Vice Chancellor, said in her citation. “On countless occasions, he has given freely of his time and his wisdom to members of the Notre Dame community. He has taught our students, he has offered professional development to staff, and he has given
sage words of advice and counsel to Vice Chancellors, executive staff, and other governance members.” During his speech, Mr Owen explored two sets of learned experiences that would assist a graduate’s decision-making process in their employment – the ideals of ‘profession’ and a university education. “The decision-making process can be challenging and there will be many occasions on which you will agonise about how to reconcile the competing interests and factors with which you are confronted,” Mr Owen said to his fellow graduates. “The ideals of profession and your university education can be faithful companions leading you towards a process of decision-making that will more often than not lead to a right result.” Mr Owen also congratulated each graduate on their achievements and encouraged them to be proud of their Notre Dame degree as they entered the professional world. The strange journey to the land we do not know is the path on which your professional life will take, along with many surprises on the way. It will be an exciting time,” Mr Owen said. “I congratulate each and every one of you on reaching this milestone in your life’s journey. It is one of many that you will encounter in a way of life that has endless possibilities and promises of great things.” Full Text available at

Y E A R OF MERC Y IN R E V IE W:
Reflecting on Pope Francis’ Apostolic Letter “Misericordiae et Misera” A N A POSTOL IC L ET T ER released by Pope Francis at the conclusion of last year’s Jubilee Year focussed on how mercy is at the very centre of the existence of the Catholic Church. The letter, entitled in Latin, Misericordiae et Misera (Mercy with Misery) aims to encourage the lay faithful to look for ways of being witnesses of God’s love and mercy. Referencing Jesus’ meeting w ith the adulteress in the Gospel of John (8:1-11), Pope Francis spoke of forgiveness being the “most visible sign of the Father’s love”. “Merc y i s t hi s concrete action of love that, by forgiving, transforms and changes our lives. In this way, the divine myster y of mercy is made manifest,” the Holy Father said. “From generation to generation, it embraces all those who trust in Him and it changes them, by bestowing a share in His very life,” he said. Pope Francis also called out for people to become “vessels of mercy” and witnesses of the Gospel. “In a culture often dominated by technology, sadness and loneliness appear to be on the rise, not least among young people. The future seems prey to an uncertainty that does not make for stability. “We need witnesses to hope and true joy if we are to dispel the illusions that promise quick and easy happiness through artificial paradises. “The corporal and spiritual
works of mercy continue in our own day to be proof of mercy’s immense positive influence as a social value. Mercy impels us to roll up our sleeves and set about restoring dignity to millions of people; they are our brothers and sisters who, with us, are called to build a ‘city which is reliable’,” he said. Theological obser ver Kathleen Wood OAM spoke to The Record Magazine, reflecting on Misericordiae et Misera and the words of the Holy Father. “Pope Francis speaks of
THE eRECORD is produced by the
consolation at a deeply personal level, which every committed person must bear in mind when seeking to extend the love of God to those in need of support for whatever reason,” Ms Wood said. “To offer consolation to others effectively means going beyond our circle of friends and extending comfort to others we may not personally know,” she said. Ms Wood also provided some insight as to the steps that we, the lay faithful, can take within
the Archdiocese, to promote a “culture of mercy”, as Pope Francis asked. She al so di scussed t h at Australia, being a Western nation that supports materialism and consumerism, does not pay much attention to the energy and drive envisioned by the Church in putting mercy into action with the Pope, bishops and clergy leading the way. “Cong regat ion s require appropriate homilies explaining the teaching of the Church on the controversial issues of the day, such as abortion, eut h an a sia, and same sex marriage for example. “Significant emphasis is placed (in Australia) on these topics by means of current Gover nment di scus sion, decision and potential action, while irresponsible reporting and ongoing criticism of the Church by the media remains negative and damaging,” she said. Mrs Wood echoed the call of Pope Francis in being witnesses of God’s love and mercy, walking in the footsteps of Christ in all aspects of everyday life. “To walk in the steps of the Good Shepherd takes courage, born out of commitment to our Lord’s call to ‘feed His sheep’, and then by action in following His own teaching where the one who was lost is found and brought home to the fold.
