CATHOLICS ACROSS the Archdiocese will next month be given a unique oppor-tunity to experience the Sacrament of Reconciliation at a special liturgy for the Year of Mercy.

The special liturgical celebration, which will include the second rite of reconciliation, will be held on Tuesday, 15 March at St Mary’s Cathedral at 6pm with Archbishop Timothy Costelloe and priests from across Perth.

Chairperson for the Year of Mercy Committee, Father Greg Donovan, said he hopes all members of the Archdiocese

can feel welcome for this occasion.“Each one of us is very much loved by

God and the Sacrament of Reconciliation is a perfect time to be reminded of this,” Fr Donovan said.

“All too often, the pressures of family life, work and money lead us to forget the immense happiness that God is call-ing us to.

“However, in this Jubilee Year of Mercy, we can unite together in this spe-cial liturgy and hear and be reminded that, by putting God first, we can grow more and more into the people He is calling us to be,” he said.

Fr Donovan went on to recall the homily of Archbishop Costelloe at

the Opening of the Holy Door on 12 December 2015, when he spoke about salvation.

Fr Donovan also extended a warm welcome especially to those who may not have been to the Sacrament of Reconciliation for some time.

“Don’t be afraid to be a witness to the real mercy of God in this Jubilee Year,” he said.

MORE THAN 400 new staff have been commissioned to serve as “the face of Jesus” in Perth Catholic schools – as powerfully described by Archbishop Timothy Costelloe – in a number of Masses held throughout the Archdiocese this month.

The 11 Eucharistic celebra-tions were attended by almost 5,500 people and offered an opportunity for old and new Catholic Education WA staff to pray together, give thanks and acknowledge their important role in the intel-lectual and spiritual forma-tion of children.

At the beginning of each Mass, new staff were asked to come to the front of the church to be commissioned and blessed by Archbishop Costelloe or one of his del-egates: Auxiliary Bishop

Don Sproxton, Emeritus Archbishop Barry Hickey, Monsignor Brian O’Loughlin, Mgr Kevin Long, Vicar General Father Peter Whitely, Fr Joseph Parkinson and Fr Greg Donovan.

The new staff promised to diligently fulfill their roles by

witnessing to the teachings of the Gospel, committing to serving the needs of the students in their care, and seeking to contribute to the wellbeing of all who belong to the school community.

During his homily at the Commissioning Mass

at St Mary’s Cathedral on 16 February, Archbishop Costelloe paid tribute to the crucial role of educators in our Church and in our society.

THE ARCHDIOCESE of Perth has this month held a seminar with the aim of engaging parishes and other Catholics in the debate about asylum seekers and refugees.

The event was held with the particu-lar objective of creating an alternative message to what is often presented by mainstream society and in the media.

Co-ordinated by the Archdiocesan Manager of Catholic Serv ice Development, Renay Grech, and hosted at MercyCare, West Perth on Saturday, 13 February, the seminar was attend-ed by some 20 representatives from Catholic parishes, agencies and organi-sations keen to work together to better promote and understand the plight of refugees in the community.

The seminar was organised by the Refugee and Asylum Seeker Catholic Alliance, which comprises a number of Catholic agencies and supporters and has been in operation for some 18 months.

The Alliance is dedicated to a ground-up approach of education and discus-sion as a means of increasing the com-munity’s participation and engagement around the issue of refugees.

“The seminar’s key focus was on understanding the reasons people seek refuge and debunking the myths and

mistruths that add to the misunder-standing of their situation,” Mr Grech said.

“The seminar not only provided up-to-date information on the topic but skilled participants in how they might influence people in their communities to hear another perspective on the situ-ation,” he said.

In his opening remarks, Mr Grech spoke about the effects of reports pub-lished by the mainstream media.

These, he continued, have a tenden-cy to communicate punitive messages about asylum seekers, ones that often misrepresent the truth about who they are, why they flee their homeland and why they seek asylum in Australia.

He went to on to say we need to engage people in the very human issues of being an asylum seeker, or the challenges of being from a different cultural back-ground and trying to live in Australia.

He said members of the faith com-munity could overcome negative per-ceptions in their local communities by connecting with people in their parishes and elsewhere to help tell the stories of asylum seekers and offer an alternative reality to consider.

The seminar featured presentations by MercyCare Executive Director for Mission and Culture, Sheryl Carmody;

Director of the Archdiocesan Justice Ecology and Development office, Carol Mitchell; and Helen Pearce, CEO from refugee legal advocacy service, the Humanitarian Group.

Ms Carmody’s presentation discussed how meeting refugees and hearing their stories could help overcome prejudices yielded from negative reports by the mainstream media.

“What’s happened, particularly here in Australia, is that, in the mainstream discourse, we call them illegals or we focus on the smugglers; we hardly ever see the faces or hear the stories of people who have come by boat,” Ms Carmody said.

“As people have said before – and this is the case with most marginal-ised groups – contact has been found to decrease prejudice. You encounter the person and they’re no longer just an object.”

Reflecting on the themes of mercy and compassion, presenters said it was important not to criticise people who held negative opinions about asylum seekers. Instead, it was better to share your story and listen to theirs.

Students encouraged to be ‘large-hearted’ as they celebrate 170 years of Mercy in Australia

SANTA MARIA COLLEGE in Attadale marked the beginning of an important school year with an opening Mass on 9 February which saw Archbishop Timothy Costelloe urge students to rethink the concept of mercy and how it might affect their interactions with others.

Describing it as another word for ‘large-heartedness’, the Archbishop said mercy could be seen in Jesus’ treatment of other people, helping those in need and refusing to give the “bare mini-mum”.

“It’s all about not being stingy and ungenerous in our encounters, in our relationships, with others,” the Archbishop said.

“We don’t make decisions on the basis of how we can fulfill our obliga-tions with the least amount of effort or inconvenience. Instead, we come from a different place – today’s Gospel would call it a place of compassion.”

Archbishop Costelloe said such a practice was particularly important for the school community in 2016 as its founders, the Sisters of Mercy, celebrate 170 years of service in Australia.

“My message and my challenge to you all is this: as members of a Catholic com-munity grounded in the Mercy tradition, can you make “large-heartedness” the guiding principle and outstanding char-

acteristic of every encounter, every rela-tionship, every project that you under-take in this Year of Mercy?” he asked.

Principal Ian Elder said the Mercy anniversary was an important part of the Mass and the College’s focus for the year, noting that a highlight of the for-mer was the presence of 15 Sisters from the Order.

“During the Mass, mention was made of how, on 9 January 1846, Ursula Frayne and six other Sisters of Mercy travelled up the Swan River from Fremantle to Perth, passing the site of Santa Maria College,” he said.

Mr Elder said the College had a number of events planned for the year, including support work with the Mercy Secondary School in Yarapes, Papua New Guinea.

“Santa Maria has formed a relation-ship with this school, which is a Catholic Boarding School run by the Sisters of Mercy,” he said.

“In 2016, we will be sending a group of students and staff to work there.

“Another important event for us will be Mercy Day on 16 September,” the Archbishop concluded.

The opening Mass was attended by 1,240 students, 120 staff, 600 parents and Attadale Parish Priest Father Sean Fernandez, and included the commis-sioning of 54 Year 12 students as extraor-dinary Ministers of Holy Communion.

Along with the Mercy anniversary, Santa Maria will also take the theme of justice as its focal point for the year.

If the awe-inspiring inte-rior and exterior design of St Patrick’s Basilica in Fremantle was not enough to offer visitors a profound spir-itual experience, the majestic church has now opened its Holy Door for the Jubilee Year of Mercy.

The Door, which is one of eight other Holy Doors opened throughout the Archdiocese of Perth, was opened at the 11am Mass on Sunday, 13 December last year.

More than 300 people, including visitors and parish-ioners, attended the Mass of the Opening of the Holy Door, which was celebrated by Parish Priest Father Tony Maher OMI and the since-transferred Assistant Priest, Fr Andrew Chen.

Pilgrims and visitors are invited in this Jubilee Year of Mercy (8 December 2015 – 20 November 2016) to make a brief pilgrimage to a Holy Door designated by a dioc-esan bishop or archbishop as a sign of deep desire and true conversion.

“Because we are a sig-nificant church in the Archdiocese, a basilica, in fact, I thought it was only appropriate that we should promote the Year of Mercy

by offering our churcht as a location for a Holy Door,” Fr Maher said.

“I have had many people come to me and say that they come to this church because of the pilgrimage. They then stay for Mass, they come for Confession and they have the opportunity to obtain an Indulgence,” he added.

For over 100 years, St Patrick’s has been a place of meeting, a place of wel-come and a shrine, Fr Maher explained.

Hospitality is key within the Basilica and spiritual hos-pitality is even more impor-

tant. “That is why I said yes to have the door. In essence, the door enhances what St Patrick’s is about: a place of prayerfulness and spiritual-ity,” Fr Maher said.

The Holy Door at St Patrick’s was erected in 1899, a year before the completion of the Basilica.

The designated Pilgrimage churches and shrines for the Archdiocese of Perth are: • St Mary’s Cathedral, 17

Victoria Square, Perth• St Patrick’s Basilica,

47 Adelaide Street, Fremantle

• Holy Trinity Abbey,

Great Eastern Highway, New Norcia

• St Mary’s Church, Brookman Street and Porter Street, Kalgoorlie

• Our Lady of the Mission, 270 Camberwarra Drive, Craigie

• Carmelite Monastery, Elizabeth Street and Thomas Street, Nedlands

• Schoenstatt Shrine, 9 Talus Drive, Mt Richon

• Redemptorist Monastery, 190 Vincent Street, North Perth.
