of the Order. Mr. Justice Lavan.
In a place of honour in the sanctuary was Archbishop Sambell, Anglican Archbishop of Perth, who is official Prelate to the Order.
Other guests included the Lieutenant-Governor, Commodore J. T. Ramsey, Sir Charles Court and Lady Court, Mr. and
Mrs. J. Tonkin. As the Feast of the Sunday was that of the Apostles Saints Peter and Paul, Archbishop Goody, in his homily, allied the mission of the Church to worship God and serve others, as handed down by the Apostles, with the social and apostolic work that had been carried out by the Order of Hospitallers.
