FIRST TELECAST OF HIGH MASS IN W.A.
Pictures of the historic telecast were taken by our Staff Photographer. Following the title screening, are the reading of the Gospel by V. Rev. Very A. Cummins, C.M. Rev. W. J. Cagney delivers solemn the sermon, the moment of the Elevation of the Chalice, and two photographs of the choir.
ON EASTER SUNDAY SOLEMN HIGH MASS WAS CELEBRATED AT ST. MARY'S CATHEDRAL AS USUAL-BUT WITH THE ADDITION OF TV CAMERAS, EQUIPMENT AND TECHNICIANS OF ABW CHANNEL 2. Every detail of the Mass was recorded faithfully and reverently, and in the passages of the longer hymns the camera picked out the beautiful features of the architecture and, within the bounds of black and white, the superb traceries of the stained glass windows. Celebrant of the Mass was the Rt. Rev. Monsignor J. Hogan, assisted by Very Rev, A. Commins, C.M. The (Deacon), and Rev. W. Foley (Sub -Deacon). sermon was preached by Very Rev. W. J. Cagney, 0.M.I., and the commentary was given by Rev. P. Quinn. The choir, directed by Rev. P. McCudden, performed well and were excellently televised. It was the first direct telecast of the Mass in Western Australia and the staff of ABW, both production and technical, are to be commended on the skill that brought to thousands the Mass in its new medium. The "picture" Mass loses none of the solemnity or reverence of the church on the screen-in fact, as one is brought so close to the sublime moments of the Sacrifice, the message of
Christ is emphasised. To those seeing such a telecast for the first time. perhaps there is a feeling that it just a novelty, and inasmuch as it is no substitute to the able-bodied for
JESUIT DEFENDS ARENOWNED. Jesuit has declared at a closed meeting of Freemasons that they are "separated brothers." like the Orthodox, the
Anglicans and the Protestants. Father Michel Riquet, S.J., was speaking at the Masonic Lodge at Laval, about 150 miles southwest of Paris. He had taken up a public challenge from a member of the lodge to defend the Catholic Faith. Father Riquet said that the immense majority of Masons believe in God, although some French Masons profess atheism. He reminded his audience that British lodges will not admit atheists. He pointed out that constitutions drawn up by Dr. James Anderson, one of the founders of modern Freemasonry, proclaim Freemasonry open to all Christians in order to propagate a humanistic and deistic doctrine. This, the Jesuit said, makes the Masons "separated brothers" of the Catholics.
About five hundred Masons, including 30 past or present lodgemasters, crowded into the lodge to hear Father Riquet. He was once a prisoner of the Nazis and has given the Lenten conferences at the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, the most celebrated annual series of sermons in France.
attendance at actual sacrifice of the Mass, its impact is that of a devotional film. However, in another aspect is science coming once again to aid the Church in her mission to all men. The sick and others who cannot attend Mass through no fault of their own will value such a medium that brings to sight the substance and core of their beloved Faith so much more faithfully than the sound of radio. Again, it was undoubtedly a providential event to many outside the Church to actually see the perform of the joyful ritual of the Day of the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Revision Of The Syllabus The Religious Syllabus of the Archdiocese of Perth has been reprinted. Copies of the syllabus are available at the Catholic Education Office at 2d. per copy. This is intended charge not wholly to defray the cost of reprinting, but to discourage excessive demands for the publication. It is probable that not all teacher, need a copy, but some copies should be available in all schools. The present reprint of the 1952 Syllabus
contains
a
minor
revision
based on the experience of the previous syllabus. It was
thought better to postpone a full-scale revision until projected catechisms are published.
Further Clerical Appointment Made His Grace the Archbishop has announced that Rev. L. Formosa has been appointed priest -in -charge of the
parish of Mandurah.
A FEATURE of the Vigil Ceremonies of Holy Saturday was the Baptising of an adult. The ceremony was performed by Very Rev. A. Commins, C.M.
Acknowledgement Of Mission Aid In 1960 The Diocesan Director of the Pontifical Missicn Aid Societies for the New Norcia Diocese (V. Rev. R. Hynes) wishes to express thanks to the priests, Religious and people for their help in the the work of the missions priests for their co-operation and hospitality, constantly reminding their people of the work of first importance -the saving of souls-and sending in returns early; to the Religious in schools for their help in instilling into
-
the hearts of the young a love for immortal souls and spurring them to sacrifices to save souls; to the people for their generosity in giving, and their prayers for the advancemnt of the Kingdom of God.
All Hove Real Zeal
Though the overall financial result was not as high as last year's, we recognise several factors influencing this. The main thing is that all have missionary zeal. A few schools have not yet sent returns. The Director must send contributions to Head Office by the end of the year. To do this he must have returns from parishes and schools by the middle of December each year. Any monies received from now will be recorded on the 1961 list. We wish to put on record an appreciation of the work of Monsignor J. Cameron, who unfortunately had a breakdown in July and has been unable to carry on the work so dear to his heart. We 'wish him a speedy recovery, and assurance of
prayers throughout the diocese that he may be able to continue work for the good of souls. Mission Aid list will be Published next week I
Tribute To The Late Mick Brady Of Fremantle The Rev. Thomas Haugh, O.M.I. of Sydney, writes:
"May I be permitted through your columns to pay a small tribute to the memory of the late "Mick" Brady who died in Fremantle last month. "As a personal friend of the deceased for 35 years it was my privilege to work for the Church on countless occasions with this great Irish -Australian. As a member of the Hibernian Society: as church warden: Holy Name man, or parish organiser, the late 'Mick' Brady was a militant Catholic with unswerving loyalty to the Faith and to the Priesthood. Beneath a rugged exterior he enshrined the virtues of charity, selfsacrifice and devotion to every noble cause.
"Although in failing health for the most of his life, 'Mick' never shirked a task which he considered a duty. Fremantle will be the poorer for his passing away. "May the good Lord Whom the deceased served with such manly and persevering loyalty grant his genial soul eternal rest."
