ARCHBISHOP COSTELLOE AND BISHOP SPROXTON
to journey to Poland for 2016 World Youth Day By Vincent Haber
“THE LORD is calling you to be with him in Poland, and He is preparing to send you out on mission.” This was the message of Archbishop Timothy Costelloe SDB at the 2016 Commissioning Mass for the 2016 World Youth Day pilgrims on Sunday, 3 July, at a packed St Mary’s Cathedral. Archbishop Costelloe was joined by Redemptoris Mater Seminary Vice Rector, Fr Antonio Scala and Spiritual Director Fr Joe Pelle as concelebrants for the occasion, along with Deacon Patrick Moore assisting. Thousands of young people from across Australia – including a strong 180-plus Western Australians – will later this month journey to Krakow, Poland, for the largest Catholic youth gathering
on record that is known as World Youth Day. Archbishop Costelloe and Auxiliary Bishop Sproxton will this weekend join a group of 35 young people from Perth in making the WYD journey, commencing their trip through Rome and Turin, before meeting another 45 pilgrims from Perth to continue on their pilgrimage in Warsaw, then to Krakow for the main event. Archbishop Costelloe likened the pilgrims to the 72 chosen, as proclaimed in the Gospel of Luke 10. “It is a reminder to us that the privilege and the task of carrying Jesus to the people of our own time and place doesn’t just belong to the chosen few. He calls us all,” the Archbishop said. He then went on to encourage the pilgrims present to not close themselves into their own comfortable worlds, but rather to be ready to carry
what Pope Francis would call ‘the joy of the Gospel’ to everyone they meet, especially during their pilgrimage and when they return home. “We should carry it in our minds, carry it in our hearts, carry it on our faces,” he said. Director of Catholic Youth Ministry, Anita Parker, explained that, for many of the pilgrims from the Archdiocese of Perth, this WYD experience will be the first time they are attending an event of such magnitude and it is certainly an opportunity to go on mission and grow in faith. “This is an exciting opportunity to see so many young adults from across our Archdiocese embarking on this pilgrimage of Mercy in the Jubilee Year,” Ms Parker said. “Each pilgrim has their own story as to why they are travelling to Krakow and how they imagine their faith will
grow from this pilgrimage.” “We have prepared the young people to be open to new experiences, new cultures and to engage with the wider global Catholic Church. Many are excited to hear from Pope Francis during the main week at WYD.” The young people have many communities, schools, parishes and groups who have helped support them in fundraising, prayer and much more. There will also be an opportunity for those communities and anyone in Perth to connect with the WYD event in two ways. The local event in Northbridge Piazza on 31 July from 1pm to 3pm is a free event screening some highlights from WYD, with local Polish dancers and local musicians. Live telecasts of WYD will also be broadcast throughout the week from www.xt3.com/live. Full Text available at

NEW LITURGICAL WORSHIP BOOK
MAKES ITS DEBUT IN PERTH By Caroline Smith
A NEW WORSHIP music book for Australian Catholics has been launched in Perth with an evening of liturgical music at St Michael the Archangel Chapel, Leederville. The Catholic Worship Book II – released nationally in Melbourne earlier this year – provides Mass attendees with a collection of new and traditional songs, chants in English and Latin, Rites of the Church and Morning and Evening Prayer. Produced by the National Liturgical Music Board, which plays an advisory role to the Bishops’ Commission for Liturgy, the book is an updated edition of the first Catholic Worship Book, released in 1985. At the Perth launch on 29 June, with former ABC journalist, Peter Kennedy, as MC, attendees were led in a number of traditional and newly composed hymns and chants by soprano, Eimear

Foley, supported by members of the All Saints Parish Choir from Greenwood. Perth Archbishop Timothy Costelloe; Archdiocesan Director of Liturgy, Sister Kerry Willison; and National Liturgical Music Board member, Jenny O’Brien, took the opportunity to speak of the book’s significance and purpose. Mrs O’Brien emphasised that it was much more than just a ‘hymn book’, as it provided all the details required for the celebration of Mass. “Catholic Worship Book II contains not only hymns but Mass settings, responses, antiphons, litanies, chants – everything that would be needed to celebrate all the Church’s liturgical rites,” she said. “This includes the Mass, all the sacraments – Baptism, Confirmation, First Communion, Reconciliation, Wedding, Ordination, Anointing of the Sick – and all the rituals connected with the Christian Initiation of Adults. “There is also a section that includes music for the Liturgy of the Hours. So you can see that this is a very comprehensive resource.” A special feature of the launch was the singing of a hymn from the new resource in three different languages, with St Mary’s Cathedral Assistant Parish Priest, Fr Michael Quynh Do, singing in Vietnamese. The hymn was also sung in English and Italian. Mrs O’Brien explained that, in developing the new text, the National Liturgical Music Board worked hard
to make sure it included new songs, including several composed by Australian musicians. “More than one in four of the items in the resource are by Australian composers, the majority of whom come from New South Wales and Victoria, but, happily, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia and Tasmania are also represented,” she said. “There are a number of the wellknown compositions by the renowned duo: poet, James McAuley, and musician, Richard Connolly, like Song of Cosmic Praise and O Jesus Crucified. “Some of Christopher Willcock’s most widely sung works are also included – such as My Peace Be Upon You Forever and Let Us Go Rejoicing, as well as his beautiful composition honouring St Mary of the Cross MacKillop, If I Could Tell the Love of God. To support the release of Catholic Worship Book II, a series of two-session workshops have been organised for anyone wanting to know more about using this resource in their parish or school: these will run from July to October, and registration is essential. Each workshop costs $10, and more information can be obtained by contacting Geraldine Schivardi at the Centre for Liturgy on 08 9207 3350, or at cfl@ perthcatholic.org.au. Full Text available at

2016 NCEC CONFERENCE: BISHOP URGES EDUCATORS TO SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS By Rachel Curry
OUR CALLING to Christ and our mission to spread His message are one and the same, Bishop of Broome, Christopher Saunders, said in his speech to 1,400 Catholic educators last month. Bishop Saunders was speaking on the topic of ‘Pathways for Christian Discipleship’ on Sunday, 19 June, as part of the 2016 National Catholic Education Commission Conference in Perth. After praising the religious and lay missionaries who had done remarkable work in the Kimberley since 1884, the prelate said it was unfortunate how often Christians today separated their calling from their mission. “It has been all too commonplace in this country, I’m afraid,” he said. “So many of our people have been content to receive inwardly what God offers them but not to give out to others in the way of mission. “In 1975, in that wonderful document Evangelii Nuntiandi, Pope Paul VI says, ‘It is unthinkable that a person should accept the Word without becoming a person who bears witness to it’.” This viewpoint has its origins in the Gospels, he said, where there is a “radical connection” between calling and mission. “Jesus calls His disciples to follow Him and then He sends them out on their first teaching pracs,” he said. “They have received much from Jesus and then they are called to give in return to those to whom they are sent.” Bishop Saunders went on to tell the story of two parish-

ioners in his diocese, who had each overcome a difficult past to forge a new relationship with God, and were now spreading the Good News throughout their communities in the Kimberley. He said it was important to acknowledge that, just as we are called according to the particular circumstances of our lives, our response in mission will also lie within these parameters. “The mission that emanates from our calling, in which we become Christ to others, may be within the limitations of our neighbourhood, or our place of work, or in the bounds of our community, or simply within the family into which we are born,” he said. Most importantly, we should carry out our mission with humility, Bishop Saunders said. This example was first set by Mary, who, in some ways, became the first missionary when she visited her cousin,
Elizabeth, with Christ in her womb. “She brought Him as Good News to someone else which is, of course, precisely what we do as disciples ourselves,” he said. “We hear the Word and we share the Good News, and by what we say and do, we present Christ to others. “It is obvious, is it not, that we are most effective, most authentic, when we are humble, when the power of discipleship we exercise is born not out of pride but of humility.” In contrast, it was when the Church had acted most arrogantly that its credibility was most damaged, Bishop Saunders said, as was the case with the issue of child sexual abuse. “A lack of humility, or anything resembling it, such as clericalism, is an obstacle that closes the pathways to discipleship and renders our service of the Lord and our fellow human beings, and His
Church, as insipid, tasteless – like the salt that is thrown out and trampled underfoot,” he said. Bishop Saunders said Pope Francis was providing a tremendous example of the “faith-inspired commitment to humility and service” to which God calls us. He said all leaders in the Church in the 21st century must ask themselves if they, too, were committed to this mission. “Educators, like ministers in faith communities, have to, in this age of acute accountability, strive faithfully to close the credibility gap between who we say we are and how others perceive us,” he said. “It is up to us in the quest for authenticity to eradicate all those obstacles that separate us from fulfilling our mission of serving our God and neighbour.” Full Text available at

2016 LIFELINK WINTER APPEAL:
Friendliness is no front at The Shopfront By Rachel Curry
As part of the Archbishop’s 2016 Winter Appeal for LifeLink, The eRecord is this month taking a closer look at the work of organisations such as Identitywa, Centrecare, Catholic Ministry for People who are Deaf or Hearing Impaired, Daydawn, Emmaus Community, Emmanuel Centre, Centacare Employment & Training, The Shopfront and Catholic Outreach. LifeLink is the umbrella organisation that provides ongoing funding support for the Church’s social service agencies, which deliver professional services and caring assistance to thousands of people in need throughout Western Australia each year. One of LifeLink’s most well-known agencies is The Shopfront, a drop-in and referral centre offering support and friendship to people experiencing difficulties dealing with problems in their lives. These problems may include homelessness, financial stress, hunger, depression, loneliness, addiction and violence. The eRecord journalist, Rachel Curry, recently spoke to The Shopfront visitors Benn Roberts and Irene Anderson to get an insight into what makes this Maylands centre so special. BENN ROBERTS has not been dealt the easiest hand in life. Growing up as a ward of the state in Victoria, he was constantly moved between foster homes, which prevented him from gaining even a basic education.
Benn Roberts, pictured in front of The Shopfront’s Memorial Wall, has received public transport and clothing vouchers to help him get back on his feet.
Mr Roberts overcame his tough childhood to find secure work as a forklift driver, but he recently fell on hard times after going through a divorce and moving from Queensland to Perth. Despite suffering what he calls “a series of unfortunate events”, he does not feel even a little sorry for himself. “(Growing up in foster care) hasn’t made my life easier but it’s made me want to do more for myself,” he said. “I’ve always had that positive attitude. There’s always someone worse off than you.” Part of the reason Mr Roberts is so sanguine is due to The Shopfront, an Archdiocesan LifeLink agency in Maylands that offers hospitality, fellowship and practical assistance to people in need. He said The Shopfront was different to other organisations because of the acceptance and
THE eRECORD is produced by the
understanding offered to every person who came through the door. “I’ve been coming here for the past month and a half. They’re always here to help you with a coffee and a sandwich,” he said. “You meet some good, kind-hearted people. They’re genuine people, compared to some others out there.” Mr Roberts, who is currently sleeping rough after having his belongings stolen while living in shared accommodation, has received clothing vouchers, public transport vouchers and blankets from The Shopfront. However, he said the support and encouragement he had received from people such as Director Brian Tierney were just as important. He has stopped himself from falling back into bad

habits and is now enrolled in a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, with a view to starting his own business. “It’s not about ‘poor me’. It’s about how you’re going to pull yourself out of it. There’s people like Brian here who will sit down and listen to you and help you,” he said. Irene Anderson is another person who has been assisted by The Shopfront. Your generous support of the Archbishop’s 2016 Winter Appeal for LifeLink ensures organisations like The Shopfront continue their ‘mission of care’ to assist people most in need in the community. The goal this year is to raise more than $300,000. To donate to LifeLink, please visit visit www.lifelink.com.au. Full Text available at
