A unique Aboriginal design by Northern Teritory artist Miriam Rose Ungunmerr is now translated into living colour in a window by Gowers and Brown donated to Nulungu College Chapel Broome by Mr W Hughes and blessed recently by Bishop Jobst on the occasion of his episcopal jubilee.
Girrawheen parish was away and running in the circulation drive this week. In anticipation of the extra people who attend the church services over Holy Week and Easter, the parish priest Father Tom Gaine ordered extra copies of The Record.
