Catholic Press Sunday-August 6 THE present Holy Father has said that the role of the Catholic Press is "an expression of a difficult and high apostolate." True words when one reflects on some of the difficulties of any newspaper work and adds to those the role of a paper which is used for the dissemination of Catholic news and views.
The greatest difficulty is not so much the collection and printing of news but of convincing Catholic people that they ought to read their own paper in order that the news and teaching of the Church might be known, that attacks against the Church might be repulsed and erroneous news corrected. Many have said over the last year that "The Record" has improved, as it consistently tries to do within the limits of its income. Yet the circulation has not increased in proportion to the praise handed out. Since last Press Month, the circulation of this diocesan paper has certainly gone up (by 1,100), this in addition to the increase of 2,000 since the installation of new machinery capable of producing more papers. Still it is not enough for the number of people on the census of the Archdiocese. To be satisfied that the paper is reaching even the proportion of Mass -attending Catholics, another two thousand could easily be added to the circulation figures. This can only be achieved by co -operation--on the part of vendors, who can keep an eye on their sales and means to increase them; on the part of every Catholic who is already buying a copy of the weekly paper (he or she could make a point of passing on "The Record" to somebody they know who may be interested in becoming a regular
reader). The paper itself should do the rest-and it has proved that it can hold its readers by its content and presentation. The result of this co-operative venture would be that Catholic news and views would be read by more people and our position on various topics would reach a wider public. Another and more important point is that people who actually do buy "The Record" should read it. The competition with TV, the secular Press, glossy "special" magazines which hit the eye and attract by their cover, layout, etc., are eager competitors, backed by big firms, who want what we too wantthe reading time of the consumer. An article of this kind would be sadly lacking if it omitted two important mentions. The first to the sellers of "The Record," in most cases the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, whose efforts over the years in the Apostolate of the Catholic Press have been selfless and untiring. The management expresses its sincere appreciation for the work done. Secondly we mention the advertiser in relation to the customer. Tell him as you deal with him that you read his advertisement in "The Record." He supports your paper and you should support him. To let the advertiser know that his publicity is worthwhile is not only good business, but is appreciation as well. By this time next year we hope to be able to report increased progress in circulation, reader in'erest and a larger paper. According to His Holiness, the Catholic Press is one of the most powerful means of serving God's Word. You, the reader, can help by making it a constant "other member of your family." THE EDITOR.
VISIT
OF
NATIONAL DIRECTOR
OF MISSION SOCIETY The National Director of the Pontifical Mission Society, Rt. Rev. Mgr. A. Thomas, was in Perth last week and made the appeal for the Missions at St. Kieran's Church, Osborne Park. Monsignor Thomas expressed his thanks to "The Record" for allowing a mission column to he published in the paper each week. Discussing the question of mission aid, the Monsignor said that quite often there was an erroneous opinion held by some good people that the particular mission which they favoured was not receiving aid from the Pontifical Mission Society. This was quite false. Monsignor Thomas said: "Often it is said by individual missionaries that they have not received any help from Propagation. Good people are confused by this, because it is not a false statement by the missionary himself, but a failure to give the complete picture." Propaganda, said Monsignor Domas, does not give grants to individual missionaries, but to Mission Superiors. Propaganda gives grants to all areas, and the individual missionary might not avert to this fact that his superior has received the aid to disperse where he thinks fit in his area. Catholic people can be assured that all money collected for the missions goes to the missions. The Monsignor also commented on another phase of mission work which must be stressed today. This was the need in each place to have bishops and priests who were local to the place where they worked. He said
that Mr. P. Hasluck, M.H.R., had made the, statement that missionary people had "to work to do themselves out of a job." This was quite true with regard to the Church's missions. Pope after Pope had made it quite clear that the aim of every territory worked by missionaries was to have their own native-born clergy as soon as it was humanly possible. Monsignor Thomas said: "We have to work harder to prepare people to take over the Church in their own lands and in this task Propagation plays a more important role than ever. The aid which these indigenous clergy must have will have to come from outside their own country, und-rstill is which developed. This will be the Pontifical of the work future Mission Society."
