FATHER LALOR TO BROADCAST EVERY SUNDAY EVENING . . . net Stations 6PR anO 6TZ Long-Desired Move Inaugurated by Catholic Social Guild In response to a demand which has been growing fur years, it has been decided to inaugurate a Catholic Session over the air. This will follow along the lines of Rev. Dr. Rumble's Session from 2SM, Sydney, and the Catholic Hour in Melbourne. A commencement will be made on Sunday, 28th. inst., from 7.15 to 7.45 p.m., over Stations 6PR and 6TZ, and subsequently each Sunday at the same time. It is hoped later to link up with another Station, thus increasing the range of the present "hook.99
The Catholic Session has been organised and financed by the Catholic Social Guild, a new organisation for Catholic men, aiming to have Catholic principles of Social justice applied in the solution of economic and other social problems. The Catholic Session will be conducted by Father Lalor, who, prior to studying for the priesthood, was a well-known and popular radio personality in this State. The Session will cover the whole field of Catholic thought and doctrine, from directly religious matters to subjects of current interest on which Catholic teaching has a bearing. It is hoped that the Session will eventually develop along the lines of a Question Box, and so prove useful in removing prejudice against the Church by providing information and answering the difficulties of non-Catholics. But at the commencement it will be confined to set talks about matters of Catholic belief and teaching.
For Value and Service
Most ,u,Lessiul Radio features have been built about a personality. And Catholic Sessions have been no exception. Thus America had Father Coughlin, England has Dr. Heenan, while Dr. Rumble and Mr. D. G. M. Jackson are known far and wide in Victoria and New South Wales. In appointing Father Lalor to conduct the Westralian Catholic Session, llis Grace the Archbishop is following along similar sound lines. Father Lalor has had extensive experience in radio work. Before entering upon his priestly vocation, Father Lalor was associated with the foundation of Station 6PR. For some years he was engaged in announcing, programme direction, the production of plays, and the delivering of talks. He is most popularly remembered through the Children's Session-"Uncle Peter and Pongo"-and when he left for Rome many a child in the State experienced something in the nature of a bereavement. Educated at the Christian Brothers' College, St. George's Terrace, Father Lalor made his studies at Propaganda College, Rome, where he was ordained He made an intenin March, 1939. sive study of Catholic Action methods in Italy, France, Belgium, England and Eire. Returning to this State towards the end of 1939. Father Lalor was appointed Diocesan Director of Catholic Action, and under his direction great strides have been made in the organisation of the Lay Apostolate The throughout the Archdiocese. League of Catholic Youth for boys, Girls' the Legion of Mary, the Catholic Movement. and the Catholic Social Guild owe their existence and solid growth to his initiative and energy. There is no doubt but that the Catho-
he Radio Session will likewise be a great success under his direction.
The Pope on the Urgency of the Social Question "GOD WILLS IT." The call of the moment is not lamentation, but action; not lamentation over what has been, but reconstruction of what is to arise and must arise for the good of society. It is for the best and most distinguished members of the Christian family, filled with the enthusiasm of Crusaders, to unite in the spirit of truth, justice, and love to the call, "God wills it," ready to serve, to sacrifice themselves, like the Crusaders. of old. If the issue was then the liberation of the land hallowed by the life of the Incarnate Word of God, the call today is, if We may so express ourselves, to traverse the sea of errors of our day and to march on to free the holy land of the spirit, which is destined to sustain in its foundations the unchangeable norms and laws on which will arise a social construction of solid internal consistency.
