The first challenge of a nascent Catholic university today is to be truly Catholic, Cardinal Clancy of Sydney told the Notre Dame Austrainauguration lia audience.

"Its contribution to higher education will relate to its success in meeting that challenge," said the cardinal who is president of the Australian Catholic Bishops' Conference.

Gird our loins for next great task Before one century closes and another begins it is time to gird our loins and undertake the next great task, a C atholic university, Bishop Healy said on Tuesday. in this comfortable age we may take for granted the schools, churches and other amenities we enjoy," he said at the Notre Dame University proclamation Mass in St Patrick's Fremantle.

"We may even have lost the will to pioneer, to be missionary, to be piljvirns on the way. carrying neither shoes, money or haversack but sustained by the presence of Christ and faith in Him." Bishop Healy had traced West Australian Catholic history from the arrival of Fathers Brady

and Joostens in Albany in 1843. He likened their journey to that of Christ as a boy pilgrim and his final pilgrimage to Jerusalem.

"As Jesus was a pilgrim on earth to His death and Resurrection so His Church would be a pilgrim Church and we a pilgrim people."

The establishment of NDA, the bishop said, coincided with Pope John Paul's constitution on Catholic universities which speaks of the joy of searching, discovering and communicating truth in every field of knowledge.

"The task of a Catholic university parallels the challenge the Church faces to integrate faith with life."

He said the faith-life of

the university will include: • active prayer, • symbols which assist prayer, • the celebration of the sacraments on campus; gospel • applying values in university and in the university's interaction with the wider community both within and outside the Church.

He stressed: "The quality of Catholic: he within the university is to be safeguarded by the commitment of those working within it."

"He prayed, he agonised about it, not so much about whether to have it or not, but about the kind of Catholic university it should be.

NDA will add new scope .. SAYS THE C * HANCELLOR The Chancellor Mr O'Connor giving the inauguration address.

Notre Dame University will complement the Australian university system as has happened in Catholic secondary education.

It will add "that extra dimension provided over the last 150 years by and independant Catholic schools," said the NDA chancellor Mr Terry O'Connor QC. NDA will bring to university life that rich tradition that is Catholic,

a tradition that has been present in some Australian universities but one that is central only to NDA and to the newly Australian formed Catholic University.

The question of NDA's Catholicity would be bast answered over time "by what we do rather than what we say", he continued.

"Good universities are a mark of mature society.

They are investments in

the future, with humanity as the major beneficiary.

"It is the honour and responsibility of a Catholic university to consecrate itself without reserve to the cause of truth.

"A Catholic university's Christian inspiration enables it to include the moral, spiritual and religious dimension in its teaching and research and to evaluate the

attainments of science and technology from the perspective of the total human person.

"A Catholic University is a place of research, where scholars scrutinise reality with the methods proper to each academic discipline and to contribute to the treasury of human knowledge.

"The university community is animated by a spirit of freedom and

charity.

"It is characterised by a mutual respect. sincere dialogue, and protection the rights of of individuals.

"It assists each of its members to achieve wholeness as human persons; in turn, everyone in the community helps in promoting unity, and each one, according to his or her role and capacity, contributes towards decisions that

Pledge of $1 million A million dollars has already been pledged to a chair in business, NDA Chancellor Terry O'Connor said on Tuesday night.

Further support will enable this college to open in 1993, he said, noting that the College of Education starts in 1992 with its undergraduate program starting in 1994.

"The College of Business and Management will develop

close ties with industry and employers.

"The main program in the foundation years will be the Bachelor of Commerce degree, leading to a full qualification and accreditation in the accounting profession.

"Business ethics will be an important emphasis for courses in this college."

Other colleges to open shortly after Education and Business are Arts and

Sciences, Law, Medicine and Health Sciences.

Added Mr O'Connor: "Within the College of Arts and Science a department of theology will provide units for all students within the university and programs special directed at meeting the theological teaching and research requirements of the Church in a range of ministries.

The department of

theology will be very influential in NDA's pursuit of its aim to affect the intellectual life of the Church in Australia. At the same time, it will be a central force in determining the ethos of the university itself.

"The university will be open to people of all creeds and will particularly welcome and encourage students from our near neighbours to the north."

Planning for the future welfare of your family is always an important consideration. If the unexpected should happen could they cope with the stress of arranging your funeral?

Alleviate that emotional and financial responsibility by pre-arranging your own funeral.

Guidance and advice of Foley will be missed The guidance and advice of the late Archbishop Foley are sorely missed Mr Terry O'Connor said of the pioneers of Notre Dame Australia.

Catholic school sector has adopted the university and has provided the support and encouragement that has enabled NDA to plan and to begin.

He said the university was grateful for the support it had received from the Church in WA and general the community.

"Religious orders have sought ways to strengthen the NDA initiative.

Big budget blow for the Vatican

VATICAN CITY (CNS): In a sharp setback in the battle against budget deficits, the Vatican has had to dip into its investment portfolio for the first time since 1984 to help erase a 1990 shortfall.

The $78 million deficit was primarily covered by private worldwide contributions, mostly from the Peter's Pence collection, but $7.7 million also had to be taken from Vatican invested funds.

Vatican investments are composed of interestbearing bank accounts, stocks and bonds. This means that interest-earning principal has been reduced.

Unless it is replenished, the normal result will be lower interest income.

The situation marks a sharp downturn in the past t wo years in the Vatican's fight to cover its chronic budget deficits. In 1988 private contributions more than covered the deficit, and in 1989 a combination of private contributions and profits from the Vatican City-State made up the difference.

The main problem is skyrocketing costs for running the Holy See, the administrative offices which oversee operations of the universal church. Holy See expenses in 1990 were 30 per cent more than in 1989.

The Vatican has a separate budget for the Vatican City-State, responsible for running the physical plant of the 108-acre state. Its budget records annual surpluses from commercial operations such as sales of Vatican museum tickets, stamps and coins.

The private contributions which helped offset the

1990 deficit included a single donation of $12.5

million.

Most of the private donations, $57.8 million, came from the annual worldwide Peter's Pence collection. which increased 19 per cent from the previous year.

The increase came after stepped up efforts by bishops around the world to promote the collection.

How collection is spread ROME (CNS): Catholics contributing to the worldwide Peter's Pence collection help Pope John Paul ll support charitable projects and churches in poor countries, said Cardinal Lara, the Vatican's treasurer.

In this way charity of all the faithful reaches all those places out of the reach of individual Catholics," he said.

The contributions also allow the pope to support "in a modest way" relief efforts for natural disas-

ter victims in poor countries he said.

The collection is for the pope's use. but since the late 1970s it has been used to cover the Vatican's budget deficit.

Previously, it was used to

support papal charities and specific projects in mission lands.

Collections for Peter's Pence totalled $57.8 million in 1990, an increase of 19.3 per cent over 1989.

Contributions would have to increase by 36 per cent this year, and be combine with an anticipated surplus from the Vatican City State, in order to meet the predicted 1991 Vatican deficit of $91.5 million.

Call for drug blitz VATICAN CITY (CNS): The state must lead the battle against drug addiction, which has reached "colossal proportions" worldwide, Pope John Paul ll said to former Italian drug addicts and their He argued against easy answers that would accept or tolerate drug use by persons hooked on drugs.

"Action by the state is necessary, because the phenomenon involves public life," he said. The state has the responsibility to devise a policy that helps addicts and their families, and educates young people in the proper

use of freedom, he said.

The pope made clear his opposition to the legalisation of addictive drug's.

"One cannot morally accept a behaviour that goes against the common good and attacks one's health, upsetting one's mental balance with grave consequences for oneself and others," the pope said.

Individuals cannot do everything they want, he said, especially when their behaviour leads to an increase in crime and to the breakdown of moral norms.

Rather than resigning itself to evil, he said, society needs to take a

"pugnacious" attitude toward it.

Society also needs to recognise that the drug addict is "often more a victim than culpable".

"He or she is a sick person, who bears the (-consequences of a mistaken education or a deformed social environment." the pope said.

He said addicts sometimes come from broken or troubled families, but not always.

"In fact, many families who have tried to educate their children in the best way are innocent victims of this painful phenomenon." he said.

Bishops in favour of Slovenia stand VATICAN CITY, (CNS): The Slovenia bishops support Slovenia's declaration of independence.

They favour Slovenian autonomy, independence and sovereignty, the report said.

"As our nation begins its way of independence, the Slovenian Catholic Church remains tied to it and united with it," the bishops said.

"Moral and spiritual stability are indispensable guarantees for a durable future," they said.

A similar stand for independence has been taken by the Slovakian bishops of

The Record, July 4 1991

Czechoslovakia.

Archbishop Sustar said Slovenians want independence to be accomplished "without violence" and accompanied by accords with Yugoslavia.

Slovenians are disappointed that the United States, Western Europe and the Soviet Union oppose their independence, he said.

"There is great disillusionment," he said. "The politically and economically stronger countries put pressure on the smaller ones" to follow their lead, he said.

Backing for censure SANTO DOMINGO: The new president of the Latin American Bishops' Council has said he supports the recent censure of Brazilian liberation theologian Franciscan Father Leonardo Hoff.

"Many ot Father I3off's theories and writings need to be corrected," said Cardinal-designate Rodriguez in an interview.

Cardinal Rodriguez said "the changes in Eastern Europe show that liberation theology has to change.

The world is changing. The Marxist viewpoint is obviously wrong. We need to seek other solutions to our problems".

He said he had read some of Father Boff's hooks and agreed with the recent action to remove the liberation theologian as

editor in chief of the Brazilian magazine Vozes (Voices).

Two editions of Vozes that dealt with the topics of married priests and Church social action were cited as causes for the priest's dismissal as editor.

Sanctions made public in mid-May resulted in Father Boff's expulsion as editor and a year's sabbatical forced from his teaching post at the Institute of Theology in Petropolis, Brazil.

Father Doff said at the time that the sanctions came from the Vatican, but were muted through the Franciscan hierarchy to make it look like an internal problem of the order. He called the process that resulted in the sanction "a distorted mechanism".

In honour of Oscar Romero EDINBURGH, Scotland (CNS): A street in Edinburgh has been named in honour of El Salvador's Archbishop Oscar Romero, an outspoken defender of civil rights who was assassinated in 19843 as be celebrated Mass.

Romero Place, off Dalkeith Road, near 3 new complex of Edinburgh University, was opened by Archbishop O'Brien.

-The young people who come here will be forced to inquire who Romero was and then think, as the people of Edinburgh will be required to inquire and think. about our involvement with the Third World and the issues of justice and peace," Archbishop O'Brien said.

Archbishop Romero sought to stop the death squads which plagued his country and pushed for economic justice for the Salvadoran poor.

He said Salvador's

wealthy ruling clam should "open their hands, to give away their fancy rings".

The archbishop further appealed to both the right and left to stop the violence that was growing in Salvadoran society.

On March 24, 19Ro. while celebrating a memorial Mass for the mother of a friend in the chapel of Divine Providence Hospital in San Salvador, Archbishop Romero was killed by a shot to the chest which hit his heart and lodged in a lung.

He had founded the hospital for impoverished cancer patients and lived in a small apartment behind the chapel.

Archbishop O'Brien. who once visited El Salvador and celebrated Mass in the apartment, said: "He wanted to live and suffer with his people. and he eventually died with countless thousands of others."

Time to think VATICAN CITY, (CNS): School children should use summer vacation to think about a priestly or religious vocation, Pope John Paul ll told Kilian youths.

The pope praised parishes and religious organisations for sponsoring summer "camp-schools or religious formation meetings often having a vocational nature."

Summer vacation "is an opportune time, not only for quiet rest from the school year. but also to enrich your conscience with good reading and reflection about the great ideas of life." the pope said.

"Above all, allow more time for prayer." he added.

Arrange your funeral now and give you and your family peace of mind.

The temptation doctors face...

VATICAN CITY: Doctors face the temptation of seeing their relationship with patients as "technical contacts with living organisms," Cardinal Ratzinger told a hospital meeting.

euthanasia can be better understood in terms of a human doctor-patient relationship, the cardinal said.

"Euthanasia refuses help to the other person to suffer and remain a person in suffering," he said.

"All life comes from the mystery of the cross and the resurrection of Christ; everything is useful, even suffering," he added.

This hinders development of a human rapport with a person "in a fragile condition, a person asking for help," he added.

Church opposition to

'Forgive us' ST MARY'S ALASKA ( CNS): Two bishops of Alaska, at the first gathering of the state's Catholic native peoples, asked forgiveness for the c hurch's failure to respond adequately to their needs.

A t a five-day Tekakwitha Conference held in a Yu-pik village located on the Andreafsky River in

Western Alaska, Bishop Kenny and bishop Kaniecki of Fairbanks asked forgiveness "for ourselves and our church for the way in which the church had disparaged native culture and language."

In addition they sought forgiveness for the "ways in which we ourselves had failed to

respond adequately to the needs of native people."

Bishop Kenny said that the following day "a young Aleut told me with tears in his eyes that he had been waiting for years to hear the church apologise for some of its treatment of Alaska's original peoples."

Human rights...

SEOUL, South Korea ( CNS) — A fugitive Korean dissident has been given sanctuary in the c ountry's main Catholic Myongdong Church, Cathedral in Seoul.

Cathedral authorities accepted dissident Kang Ki Hun's request for protection. as his case was a "matter of human rights," but they asked other dissidents who

have taken refuge there for more than a month to leave immediately.

The activists decided they would leave.

Myongdong Cathedral has been the site for antigovernment protests by dissident students and workers since the May 18 funeral procession for Kang Kyong Dae, a student beaten to death by riot police in April.

Kan& a member of the nation's largest dissident organization, is wanted on charges of "aiding and abetting" the suicide of a colleague, Kim Ki Sol, in early May. Some 3000 Korean riot police surrounded the cathedral and indicated they would enter the 93year-old church if the dissidents did not surrender.

Cardinal Kim opposed allowing police to enter the cathedral.

Cardinal Kim said "I deeply regret the dissident group passed the deadline, but it is unthinkable for police to storm the cathedral."

Confronted with church authorities' repeated opposition, police put off their planned raid.

Need for action MANILA, Philippines (CNS): A Philippine bishop said he believes the Church needs a national plan of action on the country's environment.

Bishop Gaudencio Rosales of Malaybalay said that until the Church gives the same emphasis to the theology of creation as it does the .. . . . .

theology of redemption, it will lag behind in providing moral direction to people regarding ecology.

In Cebu in April, government and church leaders debated approaches to logging.

A Philippine government report said only 24 per cent of the Philippines' original forest cover remains.

The BishopsBusinessmen's Conference in the Philippines asked the government for a 30-year moratorium on tree cutting to give denuded forests time to recover.

Ecological orientation seminars are conducted in dioceses throughout the Philippines to raise public awareness and support for forest preservation.

A government spokesman said 500 million seedlings had been planted since President Corazon Aquino came into office.

Church sources in northern Luzon claim seminars have helped control illegal logging in their areas to some degree.

Something hippened on the way to a decision All the parishioners of St Matthew's were invited to a special celebration unlike anything the parish ever had offered, to take place the afternoon of Pentecost Sunday.

On this occasion, the pastor and parish council presented the final version of a new mission statement.

Then a "town meeting" took place in which people were invited to suggest parish goals and identify activities which might flow from the mission statement.

This event marked the high point of a consultation process which had begun six months earlier

and which will continue for several more.

The pastor had recognised a need for the parish to reflect on changes within its membership and in the s urrounding neighbourhood.

He sensed that the parish needed a clearer direction for its future.

Most of all, he was convinced that people needed to take ownership of their parish in a new way.

So he and the parish council studied census and other relevant data.

They reviewed the findings of a parish self-study survey conducted in all parishes by the diocesan

planning office i few years earlier.

Each council %her took a certain asiA of parish ministry and, recruiting six otht )arishioners, discusse how it might contributo the parish's mission.

Why consult the laity?

Shortly after his conversion to Catholicism in 1854, John Henry Newman, who one day would be Cardinal Newman, found himself in the midst of a public controversy.

own divinely given sense of the faith which the bishops relied upon.

He had urged church officials to consult prominent Catholic laity before taking a position on legislation affecting public education.

Since the laity are consulted in formulating doctrine, he argued. why not in these practical matters.

But were the laity consulted in doctrine?

His critics challenged Newman to show this.

What could the laity contribute?

In his essay "On Consulting the Faithful in Matters of Doctrine".

Newman argued that the

A hundred years after Newman's essay, the Second Vatican Council proclaimed: "The body of the faithful as a whole, anointed as they are by the Holy One, cannot err in matters of belief. Thanks to a supernatural sense of the faith which characterises the people as a whole, it manifests this unerring quality when, 'from the bishops down to the last member of the laity', it shows universal agreement in matters of faith and morals" (Constitution of the Church.

No 12).

Freedom for responsibility

By Father John J. Castelot The Church's purpose is not merely to "get tiengs done". Rather, it wants to help people "to be".

For the Church is a living organism, a body, a family.

St Paul had a profound sense of community and of family. In his first letter he reminded his converts at Thessalonica how he had dealt with

them: "We were gentle among you. as a nursing mother cares for her children . . .

As you know, we treated each one of you as a father treats his children, and e xhorting encouraging you and you insisting that conduct yourselves as worthy of the God who ., (1 you calls Thessalonians 2:7, 11).

Paul was a strong character, with strong views. At the same time

8 The Record, July 4, 1991

he recognised that each person "has a particular gift from God, one of one kind and one of another" (1 Corinthians 7:6-7).

So he preferred to enlist willing people's cooperation, to draw them toward the good by consulting them, as is seen in the little book of Philemon.

When he encountered the runaway slave of one of his converts. Paul felt it was his duty to send him back to his master.

have He would preferred to keep the runaway, not as a servant but as a son. "But I did not want to do anything without your consent," he wrote to the master, "so that the good you do might not be forced but voluntary" (Philemon, 14).

The unforced "good you do" in this case is to free the slave or to welcome the slave back, not as a commodity but as a brother. As you see. Paul

respected the master's freedom while at the same time asking much of him in terms of responsibility.

Freedom and responsibility go hand in hand for Paul. They are basic to his respect for individuals and the community.

Because of Paul's respect for the community, he exhorted it to fulfill its responsibilities according to high standards.

Paul's first letter to the

Corinthians was a response to reports and questions brought to him by members of one of the house churches. They presented him with all sorts of sticky problems and he handled them with admirable sensitivity.

He was apprised of a particularly nasty situation involving a technically incestuous relationship between a man and his stepmother. Of course, Paul leaves no doubt where he stands on the problem. That reflects his strong

That day was chosen deliberately to emphasize a new outpouring of the Spirit's gifts — one of which is wisdom. "Each one of us has a piece of the wisdom all of us need if St Matthew's is going to adhere to God's call today and respond to people's concerns," Father Joe pointed out.

His attitude exemplifies the sort of collaboration between laity and clergy urged by Vatican Council II more that 25 years ago.

"The laity should accustom themselves to working in the parish in close union with their priests, bringing to the church community their own and the world's problems

By H Richard McCord Jr

as well as questions . . . which should

be examined and resolved by common deliberation" (Decree of the Apostolate of the Laity, No 10).

Examining and resolving matters by common deliberation is a useful definition of consultation. Parish leaders might use a consultation process to generate a long-range vision, as in the case of St Matthew's mission statement, or to seek a solution to more immediate issues.

An example of the latter was a decision about

what to do with an underutilised school building. St Helen's parish took this matter to its members in a consultation process.

The staff, working with a special committee of the parish council, first discussed the issue from all angles, developed a list of ways to address it and then chose its best option. This tentative solution was offered to for the parish consideration.

On a given Sunday at all the Masses, the issue was presented along with some background and

the proposed solution.

Parishioners were asked to write down their best reason for not adopting the solution.

Two weeks later the same process was repeated, but with the request that people submit their best reason in favour of the solution.

A representative coordinating group collated all the responses for and against, and then formulated proposal for pastor's t he consideration.

A fter weighing the results of this parish effort of discernment, he announced the decision.

The news was received

well. It was a decision everyone could live with.

The parish council was an important agent in both examples just cited.

Not surprisingly, Pope John Paul II recently called attention to the value of pastoral councils for consultation, collaboration and decision making (The Christian Lay Faithful, No. 25).

Another key ingredient of consultation is a wellconstructed process.

Successful consultations will be highly participatory, gather and use data effectively, encourage feedback and allow for adjustments and evaluation.

Not all consultation

Some food for thought...

•

This is part of the people's prophetic character.

This awareness coincides with culture's emphasis on the democratic participation of all citizens, but it is not simply an accommodation to that principle. It does not mean that God's truth is determined by majority vote.

Rather as Vatican II says:

"God's people accepts not the word of men but the very Word of God. It clings without fail to the faith once delivered to the saints, penetrates it more deeply by accurate insights and applies it more thoroughly to life" (Constitution on the Church, No 12).

All this is done under the guidance of the bishops who have final responsibility for formu-

lating church doctrine and policy.

One of the most effective ways for the bishops to learn the sense of the faithful is to consult them.

The U.S. bishops have done this, both as a national conference when preparing major statements — on the economy, for example — and in their own

dioceses.

And lay people are becoming more aware that the contribution they make through consultation can be just as important to the Church as the contribution made by a eucharistic minister or a parish council member.

Most would endorse this recommendation of Pope John Paul II, made after the 1987 world

Synod of Bishops' sessions on the laity: "Episcopal conferences are called to evaluate the most opportune way of developing the consultation and the collaboration of the lay faithful, women and men, at a national or regional level, so that they may consider well the problems they share and manifest better the communion of the whole church."

Great ideas can be found throughout the Christian community. The consultation today's parishes frequently conduct is designed to unearth those ideas — to bring to the surface: • The ideas of parents on how to conduct ministry for teens.

• The ideas of psychologists, doctors or social workers in the parish on serving the lonely, the sick, the disadvantaged.

• The ideas of teachers, single adults, the aged and minority-group members on how best to make this community a real community.

Why do parishes consult their members?

• To keep abreast of emerging needs in rapidly changing neighbourhoods. For, it is so easy to overlook important needs that deserve a parish's attention when other important needs compete constantly for attention.

• Because in a mobile society there always are newly arrived people from faraway places whose voices should be heard.

• To discover what people wish for, what they thrive on recognising that people are different.

• Because people will give their all to reaching goals they themselves helped formulate.

• Because good planning — and each person's positive contribution to it — is so valuable whenever the resources of money, time and energy are limited, a not -uncommon situation for modern parishes.

DISCUSSION POINTS personality.

Still I believe the passage can be interpreted as one concerning a community problem that Paul believes the community must resolve together.

In conducting the affairs of his "parishes". Paul was consulted by people and he, in turn, consulted them. If he was a father he was part of a family. And families seem to work mast smoothly and happily when all have a responsible share in arriving at decisions that affect their well-being and happiness.

Think of groups among a parish's members whose needs could benefit from increased attention. If consulted, what group's needs would you stress?

Selected Responses from Readers: "Single adults. It's so hard to be single and part of the parish community. So much of parish life is geared toward families that it makes singles feel excluded." — Yvonne Cain.

"Fallen-away Catholics, especially the young. People who do not support the parish. The question is, how can we reach these people?" — Lucian Herold.

"The teenagers and young adults. Because they're just not coming." — Jean Donahue.

"Parents of Catholic school students. It is such a stress to keep the school's finances afloat." — Margarite Wolter.

"Adult single persons, including widows or divorced people... What I wouldn't have given to have someone in my large parish look in to see how I was doing in those first years (when I was widowed at age 30 with four small children). My daugher complains that she and other singles are the forgotten people..." Alice Partak.

"It's much more important that we get to youth earlier today — 10 to 14 years of age — when they're making decisions about how they are going to live their lives."

— Tim Murphy.

TOMORROW TODAY with Father Joe Parkinson

The hand-over With the imminent departure of Sister Emilie Cattalini after many years on the local youth scene, Mrs Margaret Fennessy of Nedlands has been named as the new coordinator of Antioch in Perth.

Margaret is well suited

Perth's new Antioch Fennessy of Nedlands.

to her new role, as she and husband Terry were parent couple for Claremont -Ned lands Antioch for several years, and all three of their children have been members of the popular youth community.

Prior to that they were

co-ordinator,

Margaret

the adult couple for the Choice program for young adults, before Choice was transformed into Charis several years ago.

The role of parents and adults is crucial not just in Antioch, but in most Catholic youth groups and movements.

The witness of committed Catholic adults is invaluable in forming young people and in giving evidence that a strong Christian way of life is not only possible, but also desirable today.

It is widely known that Antioch in Perth owes much of its success to the guiding and coordinating hand of Sr Emilie, and several interstate visitors have commented on the health of Perth communities for this reason.

While we offer great thanks to Sister Emilie for her wonderful work, we welcome Margaret to the role and look forward to Antioch's continued growth in many Perth parishes.

This year's appeal will draw on collectors mainly from Antioch and the YCS movement, while some schools and

Funds raised are used to continue our tradition of youth formation and leadership training, and to provide necessary facilities for these vital programs.

Not only helping young

people avoid coming into crisis, these programs form part of our overall aim to form mature, responsible Christian adults in society.

The Catholic coordinator for this year's appeal will be Jose Guerrero of Balc.atta. who recently joined the staff of Catholic Youth Ministry.

Young musicians show talent

Irish Club president Ed O'Connor-Smith with Ahura Decey, skewing the teeny hoppers how the nimble footed danced and twirled back in the fifties and sixties. ' Sham-rock' took on a whole new meaning during the Fleadh when it became a night of rock and roll to the great music of Frankie and the Al!stars as dancers whirled and twirled ladies in full skirts, frilly petticoats, socks and flattees, with pony tails flying with the speed of the dance.

Fellows got out their fifties gear and showed the young'uns how fit, alive and really expert they were in the favourite dances of that era.

It was a night of rejuvenation for the rusty, and an airing of the gear for the dusty.

All in all it was a terrific night of nostalgia translated into the positive form of dance which took many back to years gone by and made them declare "We'll do it again! - And soon!"

Irish

Christ came that we may have "life, and have it to the full" — and so we are called to.

He gave us commandments and a way of living enshrined in the teachings of the Catholic Church which will, if followed with a full heart and soul, lead us to this fullness of life.

The question occurring again and again in choosing to follow Christ is whether we will f ollow His will or our own.

Each decision we make to do right or wrong — to walk our path or His — requires a choice; and that choice can either set us free or enslave us, depending on which way we choose.

No rule, commandment or belief we are asked to abide by is ever there for its own sake. Right down to the smallest one they are there to set us free. To guide us and form our daily lives and actions in such a way as to make us people of joy. Of peace. Of hope.

People whose lives are beautiful because they are filled with the light of God which is allowed to flood in when we follow His ways.

Each choice we make for Him, rather than ourselves, is a step towards this fullness o' life — this freedom.

It is saying "yes" to the abundance of graces which Christ wants to pour out to us if only we open ourselves to them by letting go and surrendering our own will.

Jesus, in the garden of Gethsemane, asked that not His will, but the Father's be done. So it is to be with us.

Cute kids dancing in Irish costume to the time honoured reels, jigs and music added to some well loved songs from the Green Isle, all gave the audience something to remember.

Will we live more for Him and say "yes" to the fullness of joy, the freedom, the peace He is calling us all to experience?

If we do we can be complete — for it was for these things that we were created.

.They poke their heads from our gardens and gullies. ...They dance in the wind; and humbly bow their heads to receive 'he blessing of the rain.

They are little models of perfection ... with each leafy stn ... each intricately perfect petal ... each straight -standing stomer perfectly structured and formed.

They peep out at us like small fairies or wood-nymphs as we unheedingly hurry past them on our way. ... Do we ever realize that the flowers watch us ??? .With little squeeks of recognition they wave out to us with their frondy hands ... watching us through every flowery eye. . Straining, with their riot of vivid colous - for some sign of recognition from us.

But do we give it ?

No.

...We are too busy going on our merry way.

Too troubled our thought to admit the balm of healing their little faces exude.

Too blind our eyes to see that the flowers

are a reflection of our inner selves.

In what would have to be the closest "B" Grade match of the season between third placed Willetton and fourth placed Attadale, bad light was the only winner. When play was abandoned, the score was four sets all and incredibly, of the eight sets decided, three sets went to tie breakers and four sets to 9-7. Willetton had a two game advantage at this stage, but under competition rules, as the result was still in doubt, the team shared the points.

In another "B" Grade match between Yidarra and Pignatelli. one match was also not completed. Yidarra being well on top at this stage took the points. This
