The first Cana Conference for 1960 will begin in Applecross parish next Tuesday night, January 26. Married couples from nearby parishes have been invited to attend. This news was announced by
Rev.
A.
Lynch. P.P., of Applecross. Nearby parish priests also recommended the conference to their parishioners. Attendance is expected to be even higher than at Osborne Park, where over 50 couples went to the conference conducted there last November. A Cana Conference is a series of lectures for married couples, particularly young couples and couples with children. The speakers include both priests and lay people. Comtncnting on the Apple cross conference, Rev. J. O'Brien, chaplain to the Social Movement, said this week that Perth Catholics were very fortunate in having experts available who where qualified to handle family problems and at the same time well instructed in the teaching of the Church. Dr. G. Sparrow, of Princess Margaret Hospital, had been most helpful at the last ference-his place would be tilled at the Applecross conference by Dr, Ryan, who was also highly qualified to speak on difficulties with children. Father O'Brien said that the Cana Conference at Osborne Park had touched on the subject of birth control, which is being currently dis-
cussed with reference to the increase of world population. Several points had been made on the subject. Under the guidance of Dr. M. Connaugliton the same subject would be dealt with at Applecross. The conference will be conducted in St. Benedict's Hall in Alness-street, just off Canning - highway and sessions will begin each evening at 7.30. Special arrangements are being made to care for children in the

be, and must show itself to be a "harmonious unity," His Holiness Pope John XXIII asserted. In a talk addressed to young women Action of Rome, but stressing that he of Catholic for the whele world, the Pontiff was speaking outlined three characteristic roles of Catholic Action. It must be, he said, "an aide to the Church's hierarchy, a mirror of ordered discipline and harmonious unity, a sign before the world." Concerning the first point, Pope John said that the words "nothing without the Bishop" constitute "a great motto of Catholic Action." Then, taking up the second point, he said: "Catholic Action must be and appear to be as one: one in the methodical order of its one in discipline, well understood andprocedure: willingly accepted by 'all; one in harmony that succeeds in putting good ideas together and in marshalling the common wealth." The Pope then turned to his third point, and quoted from the Mass of the recently canonised St. Gaspar del Bufalo whom he parenthetically called "one of the precursors of your movement." The text, from the 14th chapter of the Apocalypse, reads: "And I saw another angel flying in mid heaven, having an everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell upon the earth ." "This," said the Pope, 'is the sign before the people, your distinctive sign for the needs and demands of modern times, consisting not of complex things or showy idiosyncracies, but in clarity of programme, in excellence of method, in simpliciity of word qualities that attract and bind, and lead quickly and surely to the set objective."
