Passing through Perth on April 4 on their way to work in Pallottine missions in the North West was this group of young lay missionaries, seen here outside the Archbishop's Palace. They will work at Wandering, Derby, Lagrange, and B-nome. Our photograph shows ( left to right): Father George Malina, S AC., Father J. Leummens, SAC., Bishop J. Jobst, Bishop M. McKeon, Bernadette Fanning, Heather Prentice, Dennis Nestor, Lotte Pfefferle, Bill Royals, Maureen Connally, Barbara Marcz, Anna Winter, Julie Carter, Ian Hammond, Denise Wilson. Six other members of the group left the main party at Kalgoorlie. They were trained at the Pallottine training school, Millgrove, Victoria, and will serve for two years at mission stations, caring for children like Timmy. These children are in desperate need of love and care to help them grow into healthy, happy citizens. If you would like to help in this, you need no qualifications except the ability to give love. However, if you can cook and sew, if you are a teacher, a nurse, a carpenter, bricklayer, or mechanic, all the better. Boys apply to The Mission Director, Pallottine Fathers, 85 Studley Park Road, Kew, Victoria, and girls to Miss Barbara Shea, Lay Institute Ver Sacrum Mariae, 12 Edgecombe Street, Kew, Victoria, for further information.
