A letter from the Archbishop- Elect BISHOP M. McKEON, Vicar Capitular of the Archdiocese of Perth, has received the following letter from Bishop L. J. Goody, Archbishop-Elect of the Archdiocese, in reply to the message of congratulation coupled with assurances of loyalty and fidelity sent to him by Bishop McKeon from those attending the Christ the King celebrations at Aquinas College last month. Casa Generalizia, Fratri Minori Conventuali, Piazza SS Apostoli, 51, Rome. November 2, 1968. Dear Bishop McKeon, I was honoured and delighted to receive your telegram today when I arrived here from Spain. From the great assembly at Aquinas College for the Eucharistic celebrations on the Feast of Christ the King, I hope many prayers were offered to God for the fulfilment of the hopes expressed for my future ministry in the Archdiocese of Perth. Certainly more than the usual generosity and abundance of God's help will be needed if I am to do anything worthwhile. You specifically associate the priests, religious and laity in your good wishes. Thank God I know most of the priests, many of the religious and thousands of the laity of my new flock and knowing them, I know too the qualities of fidelity and loyalty which are their outstanding characteristics. May we, in the future, all co-operate in our different spheres in the one work, which is that which Christ wishes us to do. I hope, while in Rome, to have the privilege of an audience with His Holiness our Holy Father. I shall associate the priests, religious and all the faithful of both the Diocese of Bunbury and of the Archdiocese of Perth in my expressions of loyalty to him and shall ask him to give his Apostolic Blessing to all of you in both dioceses. Thank you once again for your good wishes and asking God's blessing on you all, I am, Yours sincerely in Christ, 4. L. J. GOODY, Archbishop-Elect of Perth.
Norman Cardinal Gilroy, and Archbishop J. W. Gleeson at the opening of the new offices of Austral ian Catholic Relief, which wil l be directed by Mr. Wi lliam C. Byrne formerly of Adelaide.
