This
announcement
sees
the happy conclusion of six months of negotiating since His Grace first heard that Society had priests the available. The first priest to arrive will come from England towards the end of June. He is the Reverend Father Paul Keyte, S.D.S. Father Keyte was born in England. The other two members of the Society will be arriving at a later date, when the Fathers are established.
The Society The Salvatorian Fathers were founded at Rome on December 8, 1881, by Johann Baptist Jordan. Its first
title was the Society of Catholic Instruction, which was changed after a few years to its present title of Divine Society of the Saviout The founder imposed an additional vow of apostolic mission work on the members of the Society, as well as poverty, chastity and obedience. The rules and constitution of the Society are based largely on those of the Society of Jesus. The habit worn by the members is black, with a black cincture, in which four knots are tied to remind the wearer of his four vows. In tropical countries the habit
is white with a red cincture.
The present Father General of the Society is the V. Rev. Father B. Schweizer.
The New Parish The parish which has been assigned to the Salvatorian Fathers has been termed Midvale. It is bordered on the south by the Helena River. From the junction of the river and the railway line the western boundary is fixed by the railway line up to Lloyd-st., along Lloydst. to Great Eastern-hwy., thence in an easterly direction to Mathoura-st., northwards along Mathoura-st. to Morrison-rd., along Morrison -rd. in an easterly direc-
tion to Ferguson-st., thence north along Ferguson-st to Toodyay-rd. The northern boundary is Toodyay-rd. In the east, the parish takes in Red Hill, Swan View, Koongamia and Greenmount. The Fathers will have the pastoral care of this parish, which has been administered until now from the parish of Midland Junction. The parish will also serve as a diocesan base to reach the many families from Yugoslavia. most of whom are Dalmatians and Croatians. At present there are only three priests in the Archdiocese who can speak the language.
Mgr. J. T. McMahon
Receives Uni. Honour with even the most superficial acquaintance with the Right Rev. Monsignor John Thomas McMahon could be deceived either by his title or his name or the colours of his gown so as to suppose that he might not be an Irishman. He is, indeed, and more. Churchman, educator, administrator, author, pastor and senator, Mgr. McMahon has touched the life of this community at many places, and by his benign solicitude, his shrewd and practical wisdom, his piety, has done things that cannot be measured by common yardsticks or rewarded by us as they deserve. Only those who have known him best and longest, who have enjoyed his fellowship land, with respect, he is a jovial man); only those who share his hopes and ideals, who have laboured for the same ends, can say most truly what he has done and what he deserves. They have said it with one voice; they have kissed no Blarney Stone, they ask for him NO one

orator, Professor Austin on the night of Wednesday, May 10. The occasion was the Graduation ceremony at the University of W.A., when the Right Rev. Mgr. J. T. McMahon, parish priest of South Perth, received the degree of Doctor of Letters honoris cause. Mgr. McMahon had this signal honour conferred on
Rev. Bro. A. E. TRAVERS, M.A.
him by the University in recognition of his long association with the University and his outstanding work in the field of education in this State.
Founder of the Newman Society within the University in 1924, Mgr. McMahon pioneered the celebration of University Sunday in the following year. It was one of the main objectives of this society to establish a Catholic College within the University, Mgr. McMahon played a part in the realisation of this when St. Thomas More College was built in recent years. In 1934 he was appointed to the University Senate and remained an active member until his resignation last year. For many years he served as a chairman of a Senate sub-committee. In those 26 years, Mgr. McMahon won for himself the esteem and friendship of the members of the Senate and all those connected with the University. The honour conferred by the Senate was, in great part, a sincere recognition of this.
His
Grace Archbishop
Prendiville presided, attended by the Right Reverend Monsignors E. Sullivan. as assistant priest, and E. Moss and J. Bourke as Deacons at the throne. Sir Alex Reid, Chancellor of the University, was pre-
sent with Lady Reid, and also Professor K. Walker, acting Vice - Chancellor. Monsignor McMahon wore the robes of a Doctor of Letters the honorary degree recently conferred on him. Professors B. Grieve and S. Grave attended with other members of the University staff. A colourful academic procession made its way from the College to the chapel. Celebrant of the Mass was V. Rev. J. R. Boylen, S.J., Rector of the College. Deacon and sub -deacon were Revs. Dr. B. R. Adderley and P. McCrann respectively. Father Adderley, who is a former president of the Newman Society, also preached. Masters of ceremonies were Rev. T. Walsh and T. Quinlan, S.J. The College choir was conducted by Mr. A. Haydock. In his sermon Father Adderley made clear the true meaning of Church unity, emphasising the need for prayer, study and charity in the interest of Christian

our highest academic honour.
His service to the Senate and the State is hardly to be matched by the Degree of Doctor of Letters, honoris causa. Nevertheless it is our hope that one who knows the vanity of worldly titles. and that they but serve to distinguish Jack from his fellow, will yet see in this award a mark of genuine affection and accept it ad majorem gloriam Dei to the greater glory of God.
With Special High Mass
The chapel of St. Thomas More College was filled with University graduates and undergraduates on May 14, when a special High Mass was celebrated to mark University Sunday.
Right Reverend Monsignor J. T. McMAHON, M.A., Ph.D., H.Dip.Ed., Hon.D.Litt., P.P.
Mgr. McMahon is known,
particularly in Catholic circles, as the author of 20 books, many of which dealt with the subject of Catholic education, which has been his lifelong interest. He has been at one time, editor of this paper, inspector of schools, and Diocesan Director of Education. At the Graduation ceremony, Mgr. McMahon gave a short speech, outlining his first connection with the University when it was in Irwin-st.: he paid tribute to his many friendships formed throughout his association. He thanked the Chancellor and members of the Senate for the honour conferred. The speech, was indicative of the character of the recipient of the degree. It was sincere and at the same time not without wit.

He said that ''the greatest need of our time is for Christians, both Catholic and non-Catholic, to remedy the divisions of Christendom. The fundamental reason for doing this is the same today as in all ages, namely that it is Our Lord's will that His followers should be united in the visible communion of His Mystical Body, the Church." Not only were difficulties to be overcome, but every practising Christian had to be persuaded that he or she had a contribution to make towards Christian unity. It required, said Father Adderley, breadth of vision

which was so beautifully expressed by our present Holy Father. "Allow us," he said. "to call you brothers and sons with sincere love Whether you wish it or not, you are our brothers and .
you will only cease to be so when you cease to call God our Father." After Mass, a buffet breakfast was served in the common room of the College. Mr. P. Tannock, president of the undergraduate division of the Newman Society, expressed the gratitude of all to His Grace, the Chancellor, Lady Reid and the Vice-Chancellor for honouring the function with their presence. Mrs. P. Bonser, president of the graduate division, expressed the deep satisfaction all felt at the honorary doctorate conferred on Mgr. McMahon, who had founded the society in Western Australia in 1924.
