FROM THE EDITOR JamieO’Brien
In this Issue 22 of The Record Magazine, we take a look at the The Church in Perth.
We have a rich and vibrant local Church. With all its different aspects, it is a place where people can gather and unite in the name of Jesus Christ.
In this issue of The Record Magazine, we speak to our new Aboriginal Catholic Ministry Director, Donella Brown, who shares her experience as a Yarawu woman and wealth of knowledge and understanding of our indigenous community. Catholic Youth Ministry Officer Matt Lim recounts his recent life changing Camino de Santiago experience - walking a staggering an 800 kilometres in 30 days.
We also introduce 15-year-old Mazenod College student Kai Lovel, who began producing and presenting at his local radio station at the age of 12.
We also take a close look at the world-first Safeguarding Program and speak with our Chief Safeguarding Officer Andrea Musulin, who has worked tirelessly over the past five years to develop and implement the best practise procedures and policies in the name of protecting children and vulnerable adults.
The Record Magazine is a magazine for the people and I hope you will enjoy taking the time to engage with us. Please feel free to share your thoughts via editor@therecord.com.au
2019 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
OPEN WIDE THE DOORS TO CHRIST
As we celebrate Christmas 2019, we look back on a year that has brought many challenges for us all. Some of those challenges are deeply personal and private to each one of us; others, I am sure, reflect our concerns for the society in which we live and the Church to which we belong. This is true every year, of course. We are all richly gifted, but still flawed and imperfect people. We live in what is often called the “lucky country” but that luck, or rather the rich blessings of Australia, are not shared by everyone. And we belong to Christ’s Church, the Church he promised to be with until the end of time, but a Church which is made of up frail and sinful people who can so easily turn their backs - our backs - on the presence of the Lord among us.

This season of Advent, and celebration of the birth of Jesus at Christmas, present us with an opportunity to celebrate all the richness with which God fills our lives, but also to acknowledge the many ways in which we fail to make good use of the blessings God offers us. Christmas can be a time of renewal, a celebration of our faith and most importantly, a reminder of the immense love God has for each one of us. All of this, of course, is focused on the person of Jesus, God among us as one of us.
In his first homily as Pope, St John Paul II, who was canonised just five years ago, appealed to those listening not to be afraid to welcome Christ into their lives and accept his love and his grace.
“ Do not be afraid ,” the Pope said. “ Open wide the doors for Christ.” He alone knows what is in you – he alone knows it.
The words “Do not be afraid” run like a refrain through the whole of the Christmas story. They are the words spoken to Zechariah when an angel appears to him to tell him that he and his wife, even in their old age, are to have a son who will become known as John the Baptist. The same words are spoken to Mary when the angel Gabriel is sent to ask her to be the mother of the saviour. Joseph hears those words when he is reassured that he should accept Mary as his wife, and the shepherds hear them when they are told of the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem.
Throughout the course of his life Jesus will constantly reassure his disciples with the same words. And when he appears to them after his resurrection his first words are “do not be afraid”.
In a sense these words are easy to say, but not always easy to believe. When they were spoken to Mary by the Angel Gabriel, they were a response to Mary’s fear and her confusion as she was confronted by what God was asking of her. The words only made sense to her when she listened to some further words of the angel. “The Holy Spirit will come
upon you and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow”. Believing those words, Mary was finally able to give her “yes” to God’s plan. It was because she realised that she could rely on God rather than on herself that Mary could say, “I am the handmaid of the Lord. Let what you have said be done to me.”
What was true for Mary can also be true for us. Even though Christmas can be a busy time it does present us with an opportunity for reflection on who we are individually as Christians and together as a Christian community at the service of our wider society. If Saint John Paul II is right, and it is only Christ who fully knows us, both in our giftedness and our brokenness, then time spent with him, celebrating his birth and all that flows from it, will be richly rewarding. We will know ourselves to be deeply loved by God and this realisation, as it grows within us, will be the source of that inner peace about which our Christmas carols so often speak. At the same time we will become more and more conscious of the privilege and responsibility we have of being signs and bearers of God’s love for others. The beauty of our faith is a gift to be shared, not a possession to be hoarded. As we share this gift, through the witness of our lives and the practical care we show for those in need, we will be together the living sign of the Lord’s ongoing presence in the world. In this way too we will experience that true peace that only God can give.
Do not be afraid. Open wide the doors for Christ. As he once came to Bethlehem so long ago he comes again today. We will celebrate his coming at Christmas. May our eyes be open to recognise his face. May our ears be open to hear his voice. May our hearts be open to welcome him with love.
I pray that this time of Advent and Christmas will bring you, your families and your friends great joy, that the new-born Christ will keep you all safe, and that you have a happy and holy Christmas and a peaceful beginning to the year which lies ahead.

ARCHBISHOP OF PERTH
THE CHURCH IN PERTH ACCORDING TO BISHOP SPROXTON
As you get older, some aspects of the past can take on a rosy glint. It can be a very great temptation to believe that things were decidedly much better when we were younger.
A recent letter to the editor in The West Australian provided me with something to ponder.
Auxiliary Bishop Donald Sproxton speaks with pupils of John XXIII College during the Bishops’ Spirit Award ceremony on 25 October 2019. Photo: Ron Tan
The correspondent wrote that the social cohesion of Perth was stronger and we were more positive and safe before the 1980s when the population of the metropolitan area was under one million. The writer quoted from a study that was demonstrating that once a population crosses the million threshold, a society becomes less cohesive and begins to show the early signs of fragmentation.
I would need to see more research on this subject to be convinced by this thesis. Yet, there are always grains of truth in these sorts of observations.
When I look back over my 60 or so years as a member of the Church of Perth, I can see many changes.
As a boy, I began school at St Columba’s School in Bayswater. All but one teacher were Religious Sisters – the children were mostly Anglo-Saxon-Irish. Although the children mixed well and played together on weekends and afterschool, we had a sense that we were different in some way as we walked to our separate schools. We were careful to walk on the side of the street that the Catholic children used, and the children who attended the government school walked together on the other side. We must have picked up on the differences from our families.
When we went to Mass on Sundays, you knew who was missing, and maybe this was one of the strongest reasons for going to Mass! The parish was the centre of our community with the usual rounds of working bees, dances and social fundraisers. Every asset of the parish and school came from the contributions of the parishioners. Consequently, there was a mighty sense of ownership and pride in the community’s achievements.
The Parish Priest was loved and feared, respected and tolerated, in all sorts of combinations of these views. We were fortunate that in Bayswater we had a priest, Fr John Russell, who was widely known and very visible, who visited every home each year on the pretext of handing “the envelopes” personally to the families for the continual support of the parish. He got to know each couple and every child. This was his prime pastoral ministry: to get to know his parishioners. He was immensely grateful to the Sisters of Mercy, who agreed
to take over the school when it looked like it would not survive. The parish had very little resources and it was a struggle to keep the school going. So thankful was Fr John that he would drive to Bassendean early each morning to collect the Sisters and when their school day was over, he would take them home in the late afternoon. He did this for many years.
My respect for Fr John grew enormously when many years later I heard this story. Bayswater was not able to support its priest and Archbishop Prendiville was finding it impossible to decide whether the parish should be given one. Fr John learnt of this and suggested to the Archbishop that he be appointed to Bayswater. The Archbishop was convinced by Fr John’s promise that for as long as it was required, his family’s business would provide a stipend to him, alleviating the burden on the small community.
I was 10 when my family moved to Morley Parish. It was there that I came to know the Carmelite Fathers. It was a larger parish and made up mostly by young families, but the feel of the community was very similar to Bayswater.
Things were beginning to change. There was more involvement of the parishioners as the renewed rites of the liturgy were being introduced. A Parish Council began to be formed, along with some committees. The pastoral ministry was being shared among the people of the community; the parish grew so that hundreds of people participated. The original parishioners continued to develop their bonds of friendship but as time went on many newcomers were strangers to one another. The increase in migration to Australia from Asia brought new life to Morley and most other parishes in the Archdiocese. There was to be a revival in the valuing of community, which carries on to today, where so much attention is being given to the building of Christian community.
Bayswater and Morley were to be my earliest experiences of the church and I value their place in my story. I wish that more of the stories of ours can be collected so that later generations can appreciate the history and amazing work that has been achieved in our Archdiocese.
+ Bishop Donald Sproxton AUXILIARY BISHOP OF PERTH
History is the recorded story of humanity and its accomplishments, the invaluable lessons of the past, passed down to us through the efforts of scholars, teachers, leaders and of course, through the dedicated and detailed work of the thousands of monks, friars, priests and bishops of the Catholic Church, who, throughout the centuries, have born witness to the many events that have shaped our modern world.
CATHOLIC CORRESPONDENCE THE HISTORY OF PERTH
WORDS Eric Martin
Indeed, even in Perth, or the Swan River Colony as it was originally known, Catholic clergy faithfully recorded both the exotic and the mundane experiences of life in the West, as the settlers struggled to find their way in a new land, unprepared for the exertion of life in the wild.
“Perth in 1846 was at the ends of the earth, on the very edge of civilisation, and at the New Norcia Monastery, another 140 kilometres further North, there was nothing: just endless vistas of woods and forests, undulating hills, scarce water resources, heat, flies, kangaroos, snakes and other dangerous wildlife,” historian and archivist for the New Norcia community, Peter Hocking, said in a lecture entitled Salvado’s Archives: A Unique Legacy. Yet this was the site selected by a group of Spanish Benedictine monks, under the leadership of Bishops Rosendo Salvado and José Serra, as their new home; and for the next 50 years, under Bishop Salvado, the monks established a mission, set up a farm, educated the local indigenous population in agriculture and farming, and built a school for their children.
And the records and diaries kept by Bishop Serra, Bishop Salvado and the abbots of New Norcia during this time, provide a detailed and fascinating record of the state’s original settlement.

Salvado’s diaries, written in a miniscule hand in many tiny volumes, have been the subject of much research over the years.
“For one reason or another, every piece of paper is important because it is a witness to, or a record of, the great themes in Australian history,” Mr Hocking said.
“Australia was claimed by the British in 1788, the Swan River Colony (now the state of Western Australia) was founded 43 years later, in 1829, and the monastery only 18 years later than that, in 1847, so it can be seen that New Norcia was in existence almost from the start of the Swan River Colony and not really that long after Australia was claimed by Captain Cook.”
As a result, the great themes of West Australian history are to be found in the registers, diaries, letters and records of Bishop Salvado – themes that cover agriculture, immigration, settlement, education, religion and interaction between settlers and indigenous peoples.
“And, uniquely, importantly, this story is told from a European point of view,
not from the traditional Anglo-Irish perspective,” Mr Hocking said. Among the Registers found at the monastery are those which cover births, confirmations, marriages, deaths, and burials for New Norcia and its surrounding parishes.
“But the two areas which I consider to be the most important are the letters and the diaries. It is in these media that the real life of the mission and its interaction with the Swan River Colony can be experienced,” Mr Hocking explained.
“It is here that the hopes and fears of 19th-century Western Australia are acted out, together with all the mundane details of daily life, as well as the surprising twists of history, and the happy and the sad, and often tragic, moments.”
It is estimated that there are close to 20,000 items of correspondence in the New Norcia Archives – not all of this comes from the first 50 years of settlement, but there is a very significant body of work directly attributable to the Spanish Bishop.

“Among the correspondents are European royalty (particularly Queen Isabella II of Spain), Church and Vatican officials and the Colonial Office in London, while Western Australia correspondents included the explorer and Governor Sir John Forrest, as well as Governor Weld and well-known personalities such as Daisy Bates, who was a famous, often controversial but always eccentric Australian lady anthropologist of the late 19th century,” Mr Hocking said.
“The famous English nurse Florence Nightingale even sought advice from Bishop Salvado, so surprised and impressed was she at the extraordinary state of health to be found amongst the monks and the Aboriginal population.
Amongst the collection is also correspondence from ordinary people: shepherds, sawyers, shearers, neighbours, businessmen and workmen; with the details of their daily struggles filling in the myriad minutiae that formed the reality of life in the colony.
Additionally, there are important collections of letters, such as a 250page body of correspondence from Canon Raffaele Martelli, the Italian priest who accompanied Bishop Salvado to WA in 1853 and who later became the parish priest at Toodyay and then Fremantle.
The French monk, Léandre Fonteinne, who, with Irishman John Gorman, accompanied Salvado on his very first expedition to the Moore River in 1846, has also contributed a large volume of correspondence to the
collection, though the man’s sanity was clearly questionable near the end, after a harrowing rainy night, when he accidentally shot and killed Gorman while cleaning his gun.
There is also the European correspondence of Théophile Bérengier, the abbot of the Benedictine community in Marseille, which was discovered, along with Salvado’s letters back to Bérengier, at Ganagobie, France, in 2002.
“Indeed, the archives of New Norcia hold a uniquely valuable resource for those wishing to research the many and varied aspects of Western Australia’s admittedly short history,” Mr Hocking said.
“In fact, so all-embracing are these documents that Dr De Castro concluded a paper she wrote in 2005 by stating that: No history of Western Australia is complete if it avoids using New Norcia’s records […] and nobody wants to write a lame history of Western Australia, do they?”

Travelling by foot on the Camino de Santiago (The Way of Saint James) is not your average walk in the park. As one of the most famous pilgrimages in the world, the Camino de Santiago is a large network of ancient pilgrim routes across Europe that all end in Santiago de Compostela, north-west Spain. Thousands of people walk the Camino each year, with its most popular route being the Camino Francés (The French Way). Among the hordes of people on the Camino Francés this year was Catholic Youth Ministry Perth youth worker Matt Lim, who walked more than 800 kilometres in 30 days and recounted his life changing experience to The Record.
Having flown to France to begin the Camino from its starting point in the town of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, Matt commenced walking without any expectations.
“I’d heard a lot about the Camino from people around me who had either done it, or wanted to, and finally decided one day to give it a shot, doing as little research as possible about it,” he explained.
“People walk the Camino for their own different reasons and have different outcomes, but I wanted to keep an open mind and make it my own.”
What stood out for Matt were the relationships he developed with people along the Camino walk.
“I didn’t expect to grow such strong friendships with people, most of all, this one Slovenian guy I walked with from the second day onwards. We
didn’t know each other and hadn’t planned at any point to walk together and were both free to leave, but just enjoyed each other’s company.
“After meeting in Roncesvalles, we quickly found out we were both Catholic when he mentioned he’d started from Lourdes.
“He inspired me to take my faith to the next level,” Matt added.
“I had with me a bunch of prayer intentions people had asked me to pray for while on the Camino, so he would join me in praying the Rosary every day, dedicating a decade of the Rosary for each intention.
“I used to think my prayer life was just a private thing, but developed a sense of love for praying with other people and it was him who inspired that in me.”

Matt added that the highlights of the experience far outweighed the challenges he faced along the way.
“I was averaging about 25km each day and the challenge that I found was actually walking, which sounds silly because I signed up for a long walk… which I absolutely hated to do.
“The other challenge was mental, especially during a flat, barren section of the Camino known as the Meseta,” he said.
The Meseta is commonly known for being the part of the Camino where one is left alone in their thoughts among the empty flat Spanish plains.
“It’s not just the emptiness of the Meseta that gets to you, but the timing of it along the way,” Matt explained.
“People all around the world put up barriers to try protect themselves from things that could hurt them, but the Camino kind of strips away all those walls and defenses.
People all around the world put up barriers to try protect themselves from things that could hurt them, but the Camino kind of strips away all those walls and defenses.”
“By the time you get to the Meseta, you’re pretty much bare and go really deep into your thoughts, and all these things that were built up inside you suddenly come out and to your mind, which makes it really confronting.”
A search for something more in life was a common theme among most people Matt encountered while on the Camino.
“The majority of the people on the Camino I spoke to, were either atheist or agnostic; they were desiring God, but not knowing that that was the key to what they were in fact desiring.
“What I found among many of those I spoke to, was that they had everything the world told them they needed to be happy, except they weren’t.
“Amidst all the career success, money and relationships, what I kept hearing was that they were still searching for their purpose in a life which they found to be unfulfilling.”
Hearing the experiences of those Matt came across, along with the time to reflect on them gave him the opportunity to look at his own life and purpose.
“The world promises us happiness, but when you try to reach for the happiness that the world offers, it fails to satisfy.
“Just as Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI said: the world offers us comfort, but we were not made for comfort, we were made for greatness.
“Listening to those I came across also reminded me of the famous quote by St Augustine which really struck a chord with me, that ‘Our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee, O Lord’.
“All these people were trying to search for happiness and purpose in their lives but couldn’t obtain that joy they were looking for, because they were detached from the source of all joy,” he said.
“I was quite happy with my life before the Camino, but was then able to reflect on why that was the case; and it cemented what I already believed.
“I understood that the reason for my feelings of comfort with life came from the desire to love God more and more, grounded in my Catholic faith.
“There are definitely things to improve on – I don’t have a perfect life, but I can say I’m quite content, and truly believe the reason why I feel this way is because I trust in God and His will for me.”
Matt believes that anyone considering doing the Camino should take the opportunity and go.
“The topic of who should do the Camino came up a lot in discussion with others along the way, and we all came to the conclusion that everyone should do the Camino, but at the right time.
“So if you are already considering it, I would say you should book it and go,” he concluded.

WHERE EAST MEETS WEST
FAITH IS THE COMMON GROUND
WORDS Amanda Murthy
The Melkite Greek Catholic community have this year marked their 40-year anniversary of life and contribution in Western Australia with a Hierarchical Divine Liturgy at St Mary’s Cathedral on Friday 23 August.
The Eastern rite Church, which follows the Byzantine Hierarchical Liturgy, was originally dedicated to Saint Andrew, the parish and community are now under the patronage of Our Lady of the Annunciation.
Rich in tradition and symbolism, the community continues to grow in faith and numbers, as well as gratitude for all the blessings they received throughout the years. Melkite Archbishop Robbert Rabbat thanked the Perth Catholic Archdiocese for their support and for embracing the community with open arms.
“Our Melkite community in Western Australia was doubly blessed in that from the beginning of his ministry as Bishop of Perth, Emeritus Archbishop Barry Hickey, was both a friend and brother. For this I am profoundly grateful,” Archbishop Rabbat said.
“We have been especially fortunate that his successor, Archbishop Timothy Costelloe SDB, has been like-minded.
Both Archbishops have taken a genuine pastoral interest in our Community in Perth; and for this we are ever in their debt.
“The kindness and fraternal solidarity shown to us by the Roman Catholic Clergy and faithful in Perth over the past 40 years are truly expressions of the love which unites the Eucharistic Community which is the Catholic Church.
“In the Nicaean-Constantinopolitan Creed, the Symbol of Faith, we say “I believe in One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.” In Perth, as elsewhere in Australia, we not only say it, but we have experienced the joy of being an integral part of the Household of the Faith,” Archbishop Rabbat concluded.
Did you Know?
There are 5 million Catholics in Australia
Eastern Catholic Churches make up a small, but growing percentage of Catholic’s, with the Maronite, Melkite, Ukrainian and Chaldean making up the largest Eastern Churches.
The majority of the Melkite Catholic community are predominantly in New South Wales, with the second largest grouping being in Victoria. With the exception of the Northern Territory and Tasmania, every state has at least one parish community each.
I found my home back in the Catholic Church: Deacon Collin Nunis
Deacon Collin Nunis, 33, intimately shares, how his search for the ‘truth’ as a teenager, took him on a winding but necessary journey through the different Christian denominations, only to lead him back to the Catholic Church, through the Melkite community.
However, unlike the majority of Melkite faithful, who come from a Middle Eastern cultural background,
Dcn Collin, a Malaysian-born with mixed heritage speaks about a time when he felt disconnected with the Catholic Church.
“I grew up in Malaysia to a EurasianPortuguese father and a Chinese mother. I am married to Agnieszka, who was born in Poland but moved to Australia as a child,” he said.
“Though born into a Roman Catholic family, I had a rather active Church life up until I was 10, I became somewhat detached from my Catholic faith.
Dcn Collin recalled how his move to Western Australia in July 2008 led him to embrace the Melkite Church, which was coincidentally a 15-minute walk from where he lived.
“This became my weekly routine, and eventually, I became a part of the community. In June 2010, I received my canonical transfer from the Latin Catholic Church to the Melkite Catholic Church,” he cited.
“In some sense, my presence was a challenge to their comfort zone. However, in due time, they came to accept me and treated me as one of their own.
“In reciprocation, I did the same - they became my people, and in a sense, their hopes and dreams, joys and fears became mine,” he added.
Dcn Collin who graduated with a Bachelor of Theology with the University of Divinity and is currently completing his Masters in Byzantine Liturgical Theology, shared on some of his roles as an active member of the Eastern Church.
... they became my people, and in a sense, their hopes and dreams, joys and fears became mine.”
“As a Deacon, within the context of the community, I proclaim the Gospel, administer Holy Communion and spend time “journeying” with many young people who just want to talk about their concerns and hopes by offering a listening ear, and a word of consolation, assuring them that God loves them, before praying for them.
“More importantly, the rich liturgical, theological, and spiritual heritage that the Melkite Church offered me so much consolation, hope, and joy, amidst the challenges we face in the culture and society we live in.
“This is necessary and importantPrayer must be a habit, but prayers should also have some effect on us,” he concluded.
THE VISIT OF Fr Christopher Collins SJ
WORDS Anna Krohn
EXPANDING AND DEEPENING
THE ROLE OF THE UNIVERSITY
What is the role of higher education and why is the presence of a Catholic University so important in our world and Church?
These questions have occupied the Trustees and senior leaders at Australia’s University of Notre Dame for many years. They were aired imaginatively and in different settings when Notre Dame hosted the visiting American Jesuit writer, educator and retreat master, Fr Christopher S Collins SJ in July this year.
While visiting the United States in 2018, Notre Dame’s Associate Director (Faith and Formation) Anthony Coyte was deeply impressed by Fr Collins’ ability to communicate with ease and appealing impact with students, staff and people in the wider community.
As well as being a highly effective spiritual guide, Fr Collins serves as Assistant to the President of Mission and Identity at the Jesuit University of St Louis (SLU) in Missouri and is a lecturer in the SLU’s Theological Studies Department.
Fr Collins displayed his engaging style here in Australia and generously shared his experiences and thoughts over his 18-day tour in both Sydney and Fremantle.

He led discussions with Notre Dame’s leaders and staff about the challenges of his own university role but also demonstrated how a university such as Notre Dame could serve as a hub and partner in building spiritual capital and community engagement to the wider Church.
During his time in Perth, he gave presentations to the Archdiocese’s Youth Ministry, led reflections with the Assistant Principals of Catholic Education WA and also gave a public lecture which was open to all.
Fr Collins also offered a reflection for the Founders’ Day Assembly Mass with staff and students at John XXIII College, Mount Claremont, and shared the story of his own vocation and the discipleship of St Ignatius. The students responded very enthusiastically to the immediacy of his clarity and joy.
One student, reflected the thoughts of many others when he wrote:
“Father Chris Collins’ homily was captivating and inspirational for all who listened. It showed how doing good for others brings back happiness that stays and does not fade like the happiness brought by material objects … gave us a deeper insight into what we truly want from our lives.”
Fr Collins provided a whole array of freshly appealing and accessible personal and spiritual resources. He was able to present the Ignatian method of discernment and “the Examen”- a stepwise practice which focuses on personal and Christ-centred mindfulness and imagination at the end of each day – in a very memorable and striking way. (Details of this can be found in Fr Collins’ book: 3 Moments of the Day, Ave Maria Press, 2014).
He also explained that this traditional method, with an injection of his own narrative style, much to his surprise-has an effective place in the process of personal, professional and organisational assessment in a way which allows receptivity, analysis and openness for all people (whether Catholic or not) working within a shared mission.
It is timely to note, that emphasis on this broadened vision of the role of a University, the importance of spiritual out-reach and personal authenticity, growth and integration which were highlighted so well by Fr Collins are reminiscent of the classic and enduring reflections by the great English public figure, philosopher, poet, writer, hymnologist and Cardinal canonised this October in Rome as Saint John Henry Newman.
... doing good for others brings back happiness that stays and does not fade like the happiness brought by material objects.”
Cardinal Newman’s contributions to the role of a university have been revisited by many universities today, both Catholic and secular as they struggle to find and distribute their resources and a sense of their purpose.
Newman’s papers and lectures from 1852 were later published as: The Idea of a University, a lasting classic for any serious discussion about education and his thoughts echo many of the lasting ideas which Fr Chris Collins brought to Perth.
Newman wrote that a good university can in-form in its staff, students and the community it serves, “a habit of mind which lasts through life- freedom, equitableness, calmness, moderation and wisdom”.
Furthermore, a University’s faith life instils meaning, gratitude, hope and a lasting “mindfulness of times and seasons”.

The Anointing of the Altar The Little Sisters of the Poor
WORDS Eric Martin
Saturday 31 August marked an historic event in the mission of the Little Sisters of the Poor. More than 300 guests filled the chapel to capacity to witness the dedication and consecration of the newly built chapel and altar, marking the completion of the rebuilding project and the official opening of the Glendalough aged-care facility.
Archbishop Timothy Costelloe SDB presided the liturgy, which included the Rite of Dedication, and was joined by Auxiliary Bishop Donald Sproxton, Emeritus Archbishop Barry Hickey, and Geraldton Emeritus Bishop Justin Bianchini.
Also in attendance were local government figures Sean Le’Strange, Member for Churchlands, Mr David Michael, Member for Balcatta, Councillor Mark Irwin, the Mayor of the City of Stirling, Mr Adam Spagnolo and
Mr Giovanni Italiano, Councillors of the City of Stirling.
“I feel very privileged to be invited to be a part of this beautiful celebration this morning, the consecration and dedication of this chapel and of the altar and also, in that sense, the blessing and opening of the whole facility,”
Archbishop Costelloe said.
“I really want to invite you to enter into the beauty of this very rich and very symbolic celebration that we are about to share together – it will help each one of us to understand who we are as the Church, as people of God and what lies at the very heart of who we are.”
Central to the homily were the words of the Little Sisters’ foundress, Saint Jeanne Jugan, quoted by the Archbishop in reference to the caring heart and charism of the order:
“Jesus is waiting for you in the chapel, go and find him when your strength
and patience are giving out. When you feel lonely and helpless. Say to him, you know well what is happening my dear Jesus, I have only you, come to my aid. And then go on your way and don’t worry about how you are going to manage, it is enough to have told our good Lord – he has an excellent memory.”
The Little Sisters’ Mother Provincial was present for the ceremony and delivered heart-felt words of gratitude, both to everyone who attended and to those who participated in the construction of the new facilities.
She then read a message from Mother General in France, who visited Glendalough in 2017 and was present at the laying of the foundation stone, which she fondly remembers.
In her message, Mother General acknowledged all present, with deep gratitude and sincerity:

“Last but not least, I would like to express our heartful thanks to each and every one of our kind friends and benefactors who have been intermediaries of Divine Providence for us in funding the
total reconstruction of this House. Without your support, we could never have undertaken such a big project…”
The Little Sisters of the Poor have been providing accommodation and support in Glendalough in accordance with the tenets of Saint Jeanne Jugan, since 1921.
In 1970, a modern hostel for ladies was completed, followed by a complex to accommodate elderly married couples and then a section for retired priests of the Archdiocese.
In 1981, hostel accommodation with ensuites were built for men and a new 40 bed nursing home, day centre and physiotherapy centre was completed. The new facility, which began construction in 2017 (built on the demolished remains of the former home), was ready for occupancy from 24 July, 2019.

In the past 35 years, Aboriginal Catholic Ministry (ACM) has graciously inherited the pastoral work that was started by Bishop Rosendo Salvado at the very beginning of the Swan River Colony: demonstrating and sharing the love of Christ to our Indigenous Communities through the compassionate yet practical ministry of social service provision.
ABORIGINAL CATHOLIC MINISTRY
NEW
BUILDS ON RICH HISTORY OF SERVICE TO INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY
PHOTO AND WORDS Eric Martin
THIS YEAR , the organisation is entering a new chapter under the leadership of Yawuru woman Donella Brown, who is the new Director.
Donella become involved with ACM in the late 1980’s, when a Pastoral Worker with the agency became a member of the Clontarf Aboriginal College Board while she [Donella] was Principal.
“I think that it is natural for Aboriginal people to want to work with their own people.
“We have the advantage of knowing, experiencing and seeking ways to address the many challenges that we experience on a daily basis,” she explained.
“In my case it has been my journey in the field of education. It is this passion that continues every day in my working life.”
Donella was born in Derby and on her mother’s side has cultural connections with Broome.
She brings a wealth of personal experience and perspective to the role, springing from her long term involvement with the organisation as a member of its council and through her work at Clontarf Aboriginal College (as a teacher and principal) and at Irene McCormack College as Aboriginal Liaison Officer.
“
This role also included liaising with the Principal and staff on student issues and assisting with the enrolment of Aboriginal children by promoting the availability of Aboriginal bursaries for families who would not consider Catholic education because of financial constraints.
Donella said that the many experiences she has had, both in the role of Aboriginal Liaison Officer and as a Principal have thoroughly prepared her for the role as Director and that she looks forward to taking on and continuing the outstanding work that ACM does on behalf of Aboriginal Australians.
... explore ways that we can involve the Aboriginal community in a meaningful, prayerful and culturally appropriate way.
”
Key tasks associated with her last role saw Donella working in partnership with Catholic Education Western Australia (CEWA) to raise the educational achievements of Aboriginal students; promoting and maintaining positive working relationships between the College and external agencies; promoting the inclusion of Aboriginal students in the College, and; developing effective communication with Aboriginal families in the community.
Her work saw her forge strong links among the Aboriginal students, their families and the staff of the College through efforts such as maintaining contact with families, including home visits to parents to convey information on issues such as College policies and procedures, curriculum issues, Aboriginal Parent activities.
“As an Aboriginal person, I have always been aware of our needs, in particular to make sure that the true history of Aboriginal Australia is recognised and acknowledged by all Australians so that together we are able forge a positive future,” she shared.
“As an organisation, I would like to explore ways that we can involve the Aboriginal community in a meaningful, prayerful and culturally appropriate way. Personally it is a challenge for me to once again to take on a leadership role.
“My expectation for the role is to take it slowly to listen to Aboriginal people in order to hear what we think is the way forward in the Church. It is also the challenge to not lose sight of work that has initiated in the area of reconciliation,” Donella said.
Incumbent Director, Ms Vicki Burrows, leaves to take on the exciting role of Executive Director of Mission and Ethos at MercyCare Community Services, where she will support their work in embedding their mission of bringing compassion and justice to life and breaking significant cycles of disadvantage.
“While I finish in the role as Director at ACM, it isn’t a goodbye to this wonderful Aboriginal Catholic community!”
Aboriginal Catholic Ministry is a non-profit organisation, of the Archdiocese of Perth founded in 1975 to promote the spiritual, cultural and social development of people of Aboriginal descent.
World-first Catholic Safeguarding initiative continues to expand
WORDS Amanda Murthy
A six year inquiry by the Royal Commission (2012 to 2017) into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse revealed that the Catholic Church was in fact the biggest contributor to sexual abuse in the country, at the time.
Confronted by the facts, the immediate response from the Archdiocese of Perth led to the development and formation of the world’s first Safeguarding Project in 2015.
“My goal is to see Catholic Parishes being the safest places possible for children,” said Perth Archbishop Timothy Costelloe SDB, at the launch of the Safeguarding Project.
“The perception at the moment is that this is not the case.”
Since then, the Safeguarding Office, under the direction of former Police Officer Andrea Musulin, have worked tirelessly to develop policies, procedures, processes and guidelines while engaging with the community to address the issue at hand.
A Safeguarding Breakfast held annually during Child Protection Week (1 to 7 September)
STANDING UP TO DO WHAT’S RIGHT
became one of the avenues to engage with the children, their parents and the wider community. With the support of government leaders and backing from Catholic schools, agencies, clergy, parents and students who attend the breakfast yearly to present, dialogue, and partake in the cause (and through competitions organised for the students to lend their voice and play their part) – the Archdiocese of Perth continues to expand their efforts, with the fundamental approach, that collaboration is key.
Speaking to The Record, Mrs Musulin spoke about the journey she has undertaken over the past five years: highlighting the huge impact the Safeguarding Project has had locally, nationally and now internationally.
“Perth is definitely taking the lead in some areas – through the resource that we have developed, and taking a fundamental proactive approach by educating children and valuing parents in this role – This is what sets us apart from the rest of the country.
“No stone is left unturned in relation to what we are doing, and while there is no fool-proof system to protecting children and vulnerable adults, we don’t want to be told that we are negligent and we want to do the best we can to be the solution to the problem,” she added.

IT IS EVERYBODY’S BUSINESS TO CARE

The implementation of Safeguarding Officers in parishes across the Diocese plays a vital role. Today there are about 250 trained Safeguarding Officers.
Ms Musulin describes why the role of a Safeguarding Officer in a parish is vital.
“Our Safeguarding Officers are the conduit between the Parish Priests and our office for safeguarding matters,” she said.
“They support the Parish Priest in matters that concern safeguarding – by giving him an added resource and extra person
FLOURISHING AS A COMMUNITY
Mrs Musulin cited the Archdiocese continues to work hard in the area of Safeguarding, playing a significant role in the upcoming Australian Catholic Youth Festival.
“We will have Safeguarding Officers present throughout the Festival as part of our contribution, and a new handbook dedicated to young adults aged 18 to 25 years old will officially be launched at the festival,” she added.
When asked about the vision for the Safeguarding initiative in the near future, Mrs Musulin said the hope is that the resources will be used as part of the Catholic education system - whether in a Catholic home, or school or Parish.
“The idea is to use the materials at every stage of the child’s growth from the age of six until they are a young adult (upcoming handbook).
(trained officer) to aid him with these matters.
“Besides this, the parish community can learn more on how they can play a part, with our parent workshops that we host at parishes upon requests.
“Also, with every opportunity we get, we work with the Catholic Education Child Safe Team at our Catholic Schools to increase awareness and education for the students,” she added.
Catholic Education Western Australia Executive Director, Dr Debra Sayce, expressed in her speech at the 2019 Safeguarding Breakfast, that it is the responsibility of everyone to ensure the safety of children is protected.
“Protecting children is not just the work of statutory services – It is part of everyone’s business who works and is engaged with children and their families,” she said.
“The consistency of these messages are important because, when the child grows up with that, they then have the organic skills to eventually impart that knowledge in their own children – and that’s the big picture.
“It becomes a life skill that they are able to prevent or to act accordingly if something bad was to occur to them, rather than to suffer in silence,” Mrs Musulin concluded.
The Safeguarding Office produced two handbooks titled Protecting God’s Children – A Catholic Parent’s Guide to Keeping Their Kids Safe (6 to 12 years old) and Love, Sex and Relationships –The Basic Essentials for Catholic Teenagers (13 to 19 years old). A new resource will be released at the Australian Catholic Youth Festival for young adults. Photo: Sourced
Mazenod College: Building young leaders
WORDS Theresia Titus
For most students, school may act as a medium for them to explore their interests, learning how to socialise, function in society and be a place to make their own mistakes, all while learning and growing academically. But for Kai Lovel, education has played a significant role in the exploration of his true passion.
The Mazenod College student – the school is operated under the auspices of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate - has already developed skills as an entrepreneur, broadcaster and speaker, but also developed a deep aspiration to become a strong leader.
“I think the most profound effect Mazenod College has had on me comes down to life values, whether it was from the rite of passage program in Year Nine called The Rite Journey, or the expectations of respect and dignity, Mazenod has instilled in me how to be a good man, and a burning desire to want to be just that,” he said “It has not only supported the work that I do, but also develops the person that I am,” he continued.”
Kai told The Record he is given extra periods during the week to do his work at school, accommodating him for his other commitments.
“Being at Mazenod College has given me so much, especially outside the classroom,” he said.
Kai began his producing and presenting experience at his local radio station at the age of 12, which enthused him to seek various means for content creation.
He then established his first eCommerce business, The Tech Thread Co.
“It only ever had six sales, but I learned so much, made some amazing connections and discovered other aspects of the business that really excited me,” Kai said.
He continued following his curiosities, creating his own podcast called Point of View, which led him to start Millennial Studios, “a social media incubator for young people with the vision of creating a platform for impactful content”.
He also co-created a peer-to-peer tutoring agency with fellow Mazenod College student, Sean Johnson, called Student Tutors United in late 2018; which translated to having owned and operated three businesses by the age of 14.
At the moment, Kai is focussing on sharing his experiences, lessons, and skills to other young people through public speaking and a soon-to-launch digital agency that will host his digital works in website designing, advertising consultancy, and digital marketing.
“I’m also about to launch my second podcast, How to be Curious, which will be about this concept of following your curiosities, and where it can take you,” he added.
Kai mentioned that his pursuit in business, content creation and public speaking, came from joy and fulfilment he gets from courageously following his curiosities of a new concept, idea or project.
“It’s freeing, especially when you are young and the world is your playground,” he said.
“My mission to follow my curiosities, and help others to do the same, is how my journey began, and that’s what inspires me to keep going.”
In the process, Kai learned that it is important not to bite off more than he can chew, trying to maintain a self-image of being able to do everything all at once, which has previously affected his mental health and ability to study.
“My biggest challenge was re-shifting my commitments, stopping the businesses and slowing down,” he admitted.
“I realised that they had been taking me on a journey to some amazing places, people and skills, but it was time for me to find a new journey and follow my new curiosities.”
Kai has also discovered over the course of his journey, to treat his failures and setbacks as gifts and opportunities.
“My biggest lesson ties into my biggest challenge, in fact, challenges in general. Our perception of challenges and setbacks determines our experience of them,” he said.
With his immense passion in content creation and love of presenting at his local radio station, Kai said he would continue to explore digital platforms and mediums, as well as sharing his and others’ stories and perspectives to the community.
“I want to go into broadcasting, either in television or radio and follow my journalistic interests, which may be through university studies or work experience,” he continued.
Aware of the negativity surrounding his generations nowadays, Kai sent a message to other young people that making the right choice is imperative.
“Live in a way that makes you a part of the solution, not the problem; align yourself with people that strongly support you for who you are because you are the way you are for a reason,” he concluded.

6 National Themes for Discernment
The Plenary Council 2020 is now nearly six months into the second phase of preparation. Following a long and detailed review of responses from the first phase of Listening and Dialogue, the National Centre for Pastoral Research has published the final report of the first phase the Plenary Council, capturing the voices of more than 222,000 people.
PLENARY 2020 Plenary Report faithful to the stories told, questions asked and opinions shared
The 314-page report, which can be accessed from the Plenary Council website, provides insights into the 17,457 individual and group submissions received from May 2018 until March 2019.
It also outlines the Listening and Dialogue process, including the questions asked, the research methodology and the preparation of the final report.
Archbishop Timothy Costelloe SDB, President of the Plenary Council, said he hoped when people read the report, they “will be encouraged by the passion and commitment which the invitation to enter the journey has generated in such an extraordinary way”.
“In the first phase of our journey, this listening has produced an extraordinary treasure of ideas and proposals which represents the heartfelt response of many people,” he said.
“The great challenge ahead of us now is to ‘catch’ the voice of the Holy Spirit within the passionate, hopeful, but sometimes contradictory voices of God’s people.”
National Centre for Pastoral Research Director, Trudy Dantis, said the Plenary Council has already been one of the most ambitious research projects the Church has ever undertaken.
“For the bishops to invite the people of God in Australia to respond to such a broad question was a courageous move
Communal Discernment Working Groups & Local small Groups
and the response was overwhelming,” Dr Dantis said.
“We could not have predicted the number of voices from which we would hear, but we were able to use high-level research and analysis tools to understand the threads and topics on which people spoke.
“This report is faithful to the stories told, the questions asked and the opinions shared.”
Archbishop Costelloe acknowledged that the invitation to open listening and dialogue, and the honest and open reporting of what arose from that, means that people “may be challenged, and even disturbed” by some of the responses.
“The ongoing journey of the Plenary Council provides us all with an opportunity to deepen our own reflection in the light of what other members of the Church have expressed, as together we now enter into the next phase of the journey: the Listening and Discernment phase,” he said.
It is after that time of discernment, which will run for several months, that the agenda for the Plenary Council will begin to emerge.
Archbishop Costelloe said the Plenary Council has been an exercise in being open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, with the Council’s theme drawn from the Book of Revelation: “Listen to what the Spirit in Saying.”
That ought to continue in the coming months, he explained. “As we now enter into the crucial phase of Listening and
Discernment [...] may we be open to the wisdom of the Holy Spirit who will lead us into the fullness of the Truth (cf. Jn 16:13) and eager for that gift of humility which will equip us for the opportunities, the challenges and the joys which now lay ahead of us,” Archbishop Costelloe said.
Attadale Parishioner and Plenary Council Animator Dr Graham Mahony, spoke to The Record about his commitment to the process.
A member of the Catenian Association Australia Province of WA, Dr Mahony is one of the driving forces behind the co-ordination of Phase two across the Pastoral Care Community comprised of East Fremantle, Myaree, Palmyra and Attadale Parishes, as well as Catenian members and their families.
“What we’re trying to focus on is positive outcomes for the drafting committees without telling the Bishops what to do, we’re simply saying that these are some suggestions that you might want to consider, and that’s really what it’s all about,” Dr Mahony said.
“If we keep our heads too much in the clouds – in a constructive sense - people are just going to recreate the first phase again and we don’t want to do that.
“What we need to do now is to reflect and discern realistic, positive outcomes,” he explained.

I love entertaining at home and my go-to favourite dish to cook up is Singapore Chilli Crab. Originating from Singapore, this iconic dish was created in the 1950s. Mud crabs are commonly used (although soft-shelled crabs also work a treat) and are tossed in a semi-thick, sweet and savoury tomato and chilli based sauce. This beautiful dish is commonly served with Man Tou (fried buns) to mop all of that rich delicious sauce and is a must try for anyone visiting Singapore for the first time.
