FOUR NUNS FROM EIRE PROFESSED AT ST. JOHN OF GOD
May Procession Will
Pay United Tribute The annual procession in honour of Our Lady of the May will take place this Sunday, May 7, at 3 p.m. The sick will be blessed individually as at Lourdes. They will be near the outside altar and through the system will loudspeaker hear the sermon and the hymns. All other cars are requested to remain outside the church grounds. The first procession at South Perth was organised by the late Walter Mahony, a Dublin man, in 1931. In 1932 the late Archbishop Clune presided and blessed the site for the church dedicated to St. Coluthba. Now that other parishes have been established at Kensington, Como and Manning the 'procession is an united tribute to Our Lady.
Children Of Mary Monsignor Hogan, Adm. Mary's Cathedral, will preach. The deacon and sub -deacon will be Fathers McGillicuddy and Linnane. The M.C.'s will be Fathers MacNamara and Buckley. Father Power will carry the processional cross at the head of the procession. Holy Name men will carry the canopy and act as a guard of honour. A big contingent of Children of Mary have notified their ,intention of marching with the parish sodality which will entertain them parish The afterwards. Legion of Mary invites other Legionaries to join with them and march behind the Legion standard. Flower strewers and Holy Angels from the four parishes will be trained by the Sisters of St. Joseph. Priests and parishioners of the four parishes south of the river extend to all clients of Our Lady a warm welcome to come and honour her as Queen of the May. St. Columba's Church is of St.
Forrest-st., overlooking Perth water. The procesin
sion will begin at 3 p.m. with a decade of the Rosary. Then comes the occasional sermon. The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed, the people will move out of the church into Forrest-st., and down to the altar in the church grounds. Benediction will be given at the outside altar and afterward: all return to the church. (The local conference of St. Vincent de Paul Society will arrange transport for the sick and reserve a special parking place for all cars bringing the sick and aged.)
Since leaving
Column unon column of young people stand erect and respectfully silent, as strains of the National Anthem sound over the vast area and fade into dimness amid the backdrop of city buildings. Flags are lowered to half-mast position. The Lieutenant Governor solemnly raises his hand in salute. This very moment marks an unspoken pledge of loyalty by the youth of Western Australia to Her Gracious Majesty, arranging the service to Queen Elizabeth II.

COMMONWEALTH YOUTH SUNDAY OBSERVANCE
Any person who has had the opportunity of attending this annual event, cannot but feel impressed with the fine display presented by our youth as they march past the dais, six abreast, to salute the Queen's representative. Catholic groups are al always represented at this function but the attendance is not all that it could be. Perhaps this is due to lack of knowledge of this day's importance. Much consideration has been given in
suit the requirements of Catholic consciences. It is therefore desirable that the ceremony be supported as widely as possible. For the benefit of those participating, all groups will assemble in the Cathedral grounds, Sunday, May 14, at 1.45 p m sharp.
Ascension Thursday Notice Times of Confessions and Masses at St. Mary's Cathedral on Ascension Thursday are: Confessions: Wednesday
front 12 to 1; 4 to 6; and after the Novena devotions. Masses: 6, 7, 8.15, 9, 10, 12.10, 1.10 and evening Mass at 5.45.

Many of these have been drawn to him by his books and articles on Communism. These contacts have provided him with a good deal of information about the party since he ceased to bt-, actively in touch with it. The meetings have helped some Communists to find their way clear to break
with the party. In the Philippines, he once asked to be put in prison as a voluntary prisoner in a cell beside Luis Taruc a leader of the Communist Guerilla fighters. The result of the few days was that Taruc renounced his Communist affiliations and returned to the faith. Mr. Hyde is to deliver an address in Perth on Sunday, May 28, at the Subiaco City Hall at 8 p.m.

months were finished when they saw the necessity of a church in Wyndham, and no one available to build it. They therefore offered to extend their stay until the church and presbytery were completed. 12
Assisted by two native lads, they commenced work last October. One of the lads became ill and the other carried on with the two men. This youngster is to be apprenticed to one of the builders. The two lay missionaries gave up good positions in Melbourne to work in the Kimberleys and to have given 18 months of their time without financial recompense has been a great sacrifice to offer to God for the missions. Without their valiant efforts the establishment of the church in Wyndham would have been impossible. Another contribution to the founding of the church was that of the Gee family, proprietors of the Wyndham hotel, who gave board and lodging to those engaged on the construction free of charge. His Lordship Bishop Jobst, assisted by Father Hoes and Father Kearney, performed the ceremony of opening and blessing at 3 p.m. The church was crowded, many non -
Catholics attending for the occasion. The new organ, just arrived, was played by Mrs. Barclay. Afterwards the people gathered around the presbytery, the verandah of which served as a dais. His Lordship thanked all who had been associated with the construction of the church and presbytery and stressed the new privilege awarded to the people of Wyndham having the Blessed by Sacrament in their midst. The church, he said, would now be the spiritual centre of the parish front which would flow many graces to the town and surroundings. He gave thanks to those people all over Australia who in contributing to the Kimberley mission have made possible the purchase of materials. Father Kearney added his thanks to everybody concerned and Mr. Des Gee. the acting president of the Wyndham Shire Council, expressed the pleasure of the townsfolk in having the church established. The first liturgical functions to be performed in the new church were the confirmation by His Lordship of a lady lately converted to the Faith and the celebration of Evening Mass by the Bishop, followed by reservation of the Blessed Sacrament.
