Dear Friends in Christ,
Welcome to a special edition of the
Tasmanian Catholic that is focused on
the forthcoming Diocesan Assembly.
On the weekend of November 15th and 16th,
invitees from across the Archdioceses will meet
at St Patrick’s College in Launceston as part
of the Assembly. Joining the priests who are
currently active in the pastoral ministry in the
Archdiocese, will be men and women from all
parts of Tasmania, including King and Flinders
Islands. Also attending will be Religious, and
a number who are involved in the Education,
Welfare and Administration sectors of the Church.
There will also be a strong presence of younger
men and women who have participated in the
recent efforts around World Youth Day 2008.
Nearly ten years has passed since Call to
Change was launched in the Archdiocese and
it is now time to review the outcomes of this
program and to consider what should be our
preferred pastoral approach over the next few
years.
The Diocesan Assembly is also an opportunity
for all to share, listen and consider the challenges
facing the Church over the next five to ten years
and develop priorities over the next three years
to meet these challenges.
For those who aren’t able to attend, I urge
you to make you views known to your Diocesan
Assembly representatives.
Many may remember the Diocesan Assembly,
Shaping Our Future, being held in August
1986.
From that Diocesan Assembly held 22 years
ago, the issues raised were wide-ranging. They
included, in part, concerns over provision of
renewal and faith development opportunities;
lay leadership; young people and the Church;
small communities; the importance of building
up more effective cooperation between parishes
and other themes.
Many of these outcomes led directly into the
Renew program, one of the most significant and
Special Diocesan Assembly Edition
certainly most far reaching Diocesan processes,
and the later Call to Change programme.
There were many reoccurring themes that
emerged through Renew, the various Assemblies,
working parties, planning committees, parish
based programs and formation events.
Some of these themes were the centrality
of spiritual renewal, importance of adult faith
formations, the giftedness and essential role
of the laity in the life of the Church, effective
responses to the declining numbers of priests,
a recognition of rural issues and needs and
pastoral care for priests.
From this information, Archbishop D’Arcy
established a working party that laid the
foundations for Call to Change.
While it was clear that the way forward
would involve organisational change, it was the
change of heart – a generous response to
Christ’s call to conversion that would
be the most challenging and crucial
aspect of the way forward for the
Church.
When Call to Change began,
over three hundred submissions
were received as a result of the
participation in conversation
groups across the State.
I listened to the deep
concerns expressed by some,
the hurts and disappointment
expressed by others and the
profound experiences of God
in the lives of many.
Cal l to Change s aw
the establishment of the
Catholic Youth Ministry in
three Deaneries and the
establishment of the Diocesan
Pastoral Council to work in
close collaboration with and

of the Archbishop.

Ten years has passed since the programme
Call to Change was launched in the
Archdiocese in 1999. It is time to stop, listen,
reflect, discern and plan.
The Diocesan Assembly on November 15
and 16, 2008 is an opportunity for listening,
sharing, and considering challenges for
the next five to ten years and priorities and
concrete steps for the next three years.
The working agenda Within the context of the Vision, Mission
and Values of the Archdiocese, questions to
be explored during the Assembly include:
What is the story of the last decade?
What are the themes and trends emerging
over the past decade?
What are the challenges looking forward
to the next five to ten years?
What do we value? What is it important to
hold onto?
What are the priorities for the next three
years?
What needs to happen next in relation to
each of the priorities to ensure some action
will follow to enable a lived vision?
Who is attending?After a process of requesting nominations,
Archbishop Doyle has invited a diverse range
of people from across the state, representative
of Parishes and youth ministry; Catholic
Education Office and schools; Human services
– welfare services - aged services, hospitals
etc; Religious congregations; Diocesan
administration and finance.This is to ensure
that a wide range of opinions and perspectives
is gathered for the Assembly.
Have your sayFor anyone, especially those who have not
been invited to participate in the Assembly
itself, there is still an opportunity to have
your say.
There are three ways to give ideas:A. Fill out the survey on page 15 of this edition
of The Tasmanian Catholic or on-line at:
http://www.mapl.com.au/AssemblyTas/
This survey is anonymous.
B. Describe something enlivening happening
in your local parish, school or Catholic
organization that you would want
recognised and celebrated - A good news
story for sharing. This story form is NOT
anonymous.
C. Write your ideas and mail them direct to:
Paul Bullen, PO BOX 181, Coogee NSW 2034
or email:paul.bullen@mapl.com.au
Information is gathered from surveys by
the independent facilitator for the Assembly,
Paul Bullen, in Sydney. The Archdiocese of
Hobart has no access to that information.
Please ensure your survey answers are
received by no later than Wednesday,
November 12, 2008.
Diocesan Assembly
It also saw the appointment of a person to
oversee Adult Faith Formation, the ongoing
role of the Office of Church Life and Mission
and the achievement of a number of other
outcomes.
As we gather in Launceston in November,
there is little doubt that while some of the
challenges facing the Church remain similar to
those from past years, there will also be some
new challenges that we must consider as part
of this consultative process.
We will be faced with trying to find the right
balance so that the spiritual heritage that is
ours can become more attractive to the people
of our time and in our community, particularly
those who share our baptismal heritage.
Jesus said to his disciples “Do this in
memory of me” The greatest gift that we
have is the gift of the Eucharist, and it is in
the celebration of the Eucharist that we first
hear the Word of God, we make present the
Death and Resurrection of Jesus, and we are
nourished with his very Body and Blood.
It is after that celebration that we are
called to move out into the wider world, to be
“Ambassadors of Christ.” Part of the challenge
is to find the best way of responding to the
call, in the current social environment which is
very complex and rapidly changing. It is not an
easy call, because we are too painfully aware
that many who share our spiritual heritage are
finding it difficult to respond in the way that
we would hope.
Nonetheless, under the guidance of the
Holy Spirit, we have to continue the search for
a way for God’s message to enter their hearts,
be they still young, in the middle years, or in
the closing years of their lives. I am confident
that we will make a good start through our
deliberations at the Assembly.
I invite everyone to pray for the outcome
that will bring God closer to as many as
possible.

PROGRAMME
Bishop David Louis Walker was ordained
Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Broken
Bay on September 3, 1996, succeeding the
Diocese’s inaugural Bishop, the Most Rev
Patrick Murphy.
H is pr iestly career began in the
conventional way with service as assistant
priest in Campsie and Granville. During this
time, he was invited to return to Manly to
study for the Doctorate of Divinity degree.
Even then, his deep interest in spirituality
led him to complete a thesis on the spiritual
influences in the western tradition – focussing
on the early spiritual writer, John Cassian. In
1966 he graduated magna cum laude.
With this background, in 1967 he was
invited to teach in the Catholic Theological
Faculty of Sydney, at Manly. Lecturing to
religious brothers and sisters in the Institutes
of the Faculty – The Holy Spirit Institute (for
religious brothers) and the Mater Dei Institute
(for religious sisters) and to seminarians doing
a basic degree in Theology.
As he came to realise the importance of
reaching out to make serious theological
study and reflection more available to
Catholics, he developed the idea of writing
out his lectures for people to study at home.
In 1969, in conjunction with Fr Neil Brown
and Fr Peter Neville, he was a founder of the
Catholic Correspondence Centre.
In 1973, he began to give evening courses
at North Sydney. Teaching on spirituality was
supplemented by writing, beginning in 1976
with an introduction to the first Australian
edition of The Spiritual Life by Evelyn Underhill,
an Anglican spiritual writer and guide. Then in
1977, he published God is a Sea: the Dynamics
of Christian Living, a simple introduction to
some classic spiritual writers.
In the first six years of the Correspondence
Centre 6,500 courses were sent out and
approximately 16,000 courses followed.
At the Catholic Theological Faculty of
Sydney, he taught Systemic Theology and
later headed the pastoral studies department.
In the final term of 1973, he ran a pilot scheme
for a programme on reading the spiritual
classics, which led, with Sr Rosa Courney
RSJ, and Fr John Ryan, to establishing the
Christian Spirituality Throughout the Centuries
programme for priests, seminarians, men and
women religious as well as the laity.
Guest speakerBroken Bay’s Bishop David Walker
It was this programme that provided
the momentum for founding the Centre
for Christian Spirituality at Randwick, where
face-to-face and distance courses in Christian
spirituality were offered. The Centre found
ready interest with approximately 10,000
enrolments between 1978 to 2001. He
remained Director of the Educational Centre
for Christian Spirituality until his appointment
as Bishop.
During the past ten years, Bishop David
has consolidated the Diocese of Broken
Bay – extending organisations and pushing
the Diocese into new fields. Amongst his
initiatives have been the groupings of parishes
into three Deaneries and the amalgamation
of several Parishes, further extending the
quality of pastoral care afforded to the people
of the Diocese.
Ecumenical activity was given particular
impetus with the establishment of the
Diocesan Ecumenical Commission in 1998.
Strong relationships and dialogues have since
been formed with the Anglican Diocese of
Newcastle.
The establishment of The Broken Bay
Institute, in 2003, is evidence of Bishop David’s
commitment to promoting a truly Australian
spirituality, and fostering theological and
spiritual education.
In 2006, many of the ministries and
agencies of the Diocese were brought under
the one roof at the Caroline Chisholm Centre,
Pennant Hills. This move has supported the
vision for Broken Bay that promotes and
models collaborative ministry as the best
practice for sustaining, guiding and healing
the members of the faith community and the
community itself.
In the same year, Bishop David announced
a new ministry for women that would be
based on a deep and personal commitment
to Jesus. The programme, Ecclesial Women,
which began this year, will enable women to
participate more fully in the life and leadership
of the Diocese – supporting the Bishop in the
pastoral care of the people.
Bishop David brings to his appointment
a continuing commitment to faith renewal
and to be responsive to the changing needs
of the Catholic Church in Australia.

Ten years ago, we, the Catholic Church
in Tasmania, were Called to Change.
Certainly, it was a momentous turning
point – a time of reflection, rumination,
conversation and some tough decision-
making.
Throughout the period from 1984 to 1996,
the shortage, and indeed loss, of priests and
seminarians, declining numbers in parishes,
and a largely decentralised population
combined to put the Church’s resources – its
people and its material resources – under
increasing pressure in serving the community.
This combined with an increasing desire by
many lay people and priests to shape the
Church in the spirit of the Second Vatican
Council laid the foundations for Call to
Change.
In August 1999, Archbishop Doyle
addressed three public meetings around
the state, outlining the philosophical and
practical decisions intended to revitalise and
reshape the Church.
His Grace said at the time, “Within the
church, we have experienced change. There
are those who dearly wish that everything
could return to the way it was (and) those for
whom change cannot come quickly enough
The Catholic Church in Tasmania:
“Within the church,
we have experienced
change. There are those
who dearly wish that
everything could return
to the way it was (and)
those for whom change
cannot come quickly
enough or widely
enough”.
or widely enough”. Quoting the late Cardinal
Hume, Archbishop Doyle emphasized the
importance of “laying aside our differences,
without pretending that they do not exist,
because they do. Remember that diversity
brings richness and invites ongoing
dialogue”.
The Call to Change process, as it was originally reported by The Standard newspaper, August 2000.

Where are we now?His Grace challenged all of us to revisit
our own understanding of our role in the
Church – as priests, as religious, and as laity in
preparation for the changes ahead, including
the amalgamation of some parishes.
Specific initiatives included: the formation
of a Diocesan Pastoral Council; Pastoral Parish
teams; the development of new Collaborative
Pastoral Units; and a new Sacramental Council
for Tasmania, each supporting and committed
to the wide-ranging changes happening
around the Archdiocese.
Quoting Pope John Paul II, who, in
Pastores Dabo Vobis said, “Today in particular,
the pressing pastoral task of the new
evangelisation calls for the involvement of
the entire People of God, and requires a new
fervour, new methods and a new expression
for the announcing and witnessing of the
Gospel” (PDV par. 18), Archbishop Doyle
foregrounded the need for a genuine
change of heart by the Church and its parish
communities.
There have been many pos it ive
outcomes, with many parish and pastoral
units strengthening their relationships with
each other. There are however, many in the
community who have lost their parish church
through the process of amalgamation, who
are still hurt and disappointed. Some of
their stories are retold here in this special
Diocesan Assembly edition of The Tasmanian
Catholic.

Catholic Parish of Central Tasmania –
The Catholic Parish of Central Tasmania
as most would be aware is a Parish of
diverse communities spread across the
geographically challenging centre of
Tasmania. Consisting of ten communities,
with unique characteristics shaped and
developed by the pioneers who founded
them. Each one integral as starting points
for the areas history – as well the nature
and industry of the places to which each
community belongs.
Some of our families raise cattle, work
in forestry, or work for Norske Skog. Some
worked for the Royal Derwent Hospital or
work for Mill Brook rise, some lived there.
Others worked for Gunns before it closed,
others travel to the city. Some grow hops or
work for the Hydro schemes. Some have lost
their jobs with staff cuts or closures. Nearly
all are affected directly by the drought. Some
live remotely such as Bronte Park or Miena or
Strathgordon. Many live in New Norfolk, some
in the Midlands and others in the Highlands.
We are communities rather than a community.
And, we know that there is a tension between
the larger towns being a Parish in their own
right and belonging to a bigger identity called
the Catholic Parish of Central Tasmania.
Our communities are challenged by the
reality of aging populations; the bleed of
young people to Hobart and beyond; the
downturn in rural economies and markets. Not
to mention the withdrawal of some services
including local shops, doctors, community
hospitals and allied farming industries. These
challenges affect the communities perception
of what it has traditionally meant for them to
be a community or a Parish.
For many these places have been centres
where neighbour knows neighbour. The
families are connected in these centres
through marriage and birth and through
sharing the tragedies and joys of life. In some
cases, neighbours have been neighbours
for decades. They have been places – and
continue with effort to be places. Where
hardship and adversity has drawn people
together in support of each other.
Our diverse communities have been
natural places for faith and church to grow.
The message of the gospel has found an
easy ear as neighbour knows the reality of
supporting their neighbour through good
times and through bad regardless of religion
or background. But this too is under some
threat as young people leave for school and
stay away for work, while older members
through necessity move closer to health
support and family. The relied on neighbour is
no longer just next door or down the road. Our
worshipping numbers reflect this decline.
This Parish is not a traditional parish
gathered around one mother Church, but
a group of communities with individual
identities and particular pastoral needs.
Part of the challenge for our bigger Parish
community in the future will be meeting
some of these needs. The challenge is how
this community maintains its sense of Parish
without losing the individual identity and
These (community
events) all continue to
remind the community
of the importance of
traditions founded in
the Eucharist and the
desire to be neighbour
to each other.
nature of the smaller member communities.
They have worked hard to be who they are. In
this community, there are many events and
projects which continue to draw people into
this Parish: morning teas in the regional areas;
people who volunteer for rosters; communion
to the sick; Masses and Liturgy of the Word
and Communion; the Parish Council; the Junior
Parish council; group spiritual direction etc.
These all continue to remind the community
of the importance of traditions founded in
the Eucharist and the desire to be neighbour
to each other. They identify that the heart of
the community is the Eucharist.
Each of the communities over the
last couple of years – through the Parish
assemblies and regional gatherings – have
called for more opportunities to participate
in the Mass. How this might occur has been
a source of concern, as the Parish rationalizes
the Churches, but they know the need to be
united so that their lives might be supported.
The Parish makes sense because the Eucharist
is its heart. It is a real sadness for every one
that in some places Mass is celebrated rarely
if at all and a further sadness that some of our
Mass centres have closed for good.
What is Parish for us? Maybe the traditional values of the
model Parish would still hold even though
the community is so spread out across the
territory of Central Parish.
The values would be as follows:
the Eucharist is that which gives us identity
and nourishment, celebrated as often as
possible wherever possible.

King Island is in the middle of Bass Strait
between Victoria and Tasmania. The
Island measures approximately 64 km by 27
km, with an area of 110,000 hectares, and
with a population of around 1,600 people.
Our main businesses and industries include
the King Island Dairy, Swift Abattoirs, kelp
harvesting, fishing, farming and tourism.
There are four dominant faiths on the
Island: Catholic 285, Anglican 438,
Uniting 189 and Christian Fellowship
50 (ABS 2006). About 35 people
form our regular worshipping
community.
Our Lady Star of the Sea Parish
Church was built in 1912. A convent
house was built some time later
to accommodate the Presentation
Sisters, who have served the island
community until the Sisters of St
Joseph came in 2002. Priests have
continuously visited the island since
the first community was formed.
Since the death of Sr Marlene Binns
ssj in 2006, parishioners have assumed greater
responsibility for keeping the faith alive in this
small community. It was initially a time of loss
and grief, very challenging and emotional
for us all.
Fr Phil McCormack visits us on a monthly
basis, a demand which includes a drive from
Smithton to Wynyard following his Sunday
Masses, arriving on King Island Sunday
evening to celebrate Mass with us. During his
five day stay on the Island, Mass is celebrated
every morning.
We are also fortunate to have the
Franciscan priests in Melbourne, who can
assist for special occasions such as weddings,
baptisms, Easter and Christmas.
Lay led Celebrations of the Word and
Communion have been celebrated on King
Island since the early 1970s, Adrian Gobel
being one of the first Tasmanians to receive
training and formation.
Following the sudden death of Sr Marlene
Binns ssj the Parish elected a new Parish
Pastoral Council and Finance Committee.
The teams have worked well at allocating
duties based on expressions of interest and
competency. Gathering together in Jesus’
name to celebrate the Liturgy of the Word and

Communion takes time and preparation to
co-ordinate prayer, scripture and song. Other
tasks include running the parish, delegating
tasks and liaising with Diocesan personnel.
There have even been funerals that we have
led in the absence of a priest.
Finding our feet was a difficult time,
coordinating various duties associated with
different people who were keen to offer
their individual gifts. Most of the committed
individuals are full-time workers and they give
generously of their time and expertise.
About nine months after Sr Marlene’s
death, formation and training was offered
by Sr Barbara Hateley, MSS and Cathy
Murrowood from the Office of Church Life
and Mission – opening up a greater sharing
of duties in the new Liturgical Rites adopted
by the Archdiocese of Hobart. This new
learning experience was certainly a time of
challenge.
With some follow-up formation with Sr
Barbara and Cathy we were able to refine
our liturgical practice resulting in a smoother
presentation of the Liturgy of the Word and
Communion, i.e. reduction in the number
of readers, more singing opportunities,
the Procession of the Word and lighting of
candles before the Communion Rite are more
significant, and the Communion Minister and
leader now work better together.
We are a committed team of faith-
filled people who work very hard and give
generously of our time to facilitate the
Sunday liturgical celebration for our small
community, who come together to hear the
Word of God and celebrate God’s presence in
our lives. We still however, continue to pray
a religious person to come and work in our
community.

Previously part of the Catholic Parish at
Central Tasmania, Campbell Town parish
now operates autonomously, although we
are still widespread, few in numbers and
without the services of a full-time, locally
based priest.
The size of the congregations is small but
relatively consistent, spread over two areas
with about eighteen regular attendees at
Campbell Town/Ross and nine at Swansea,
which swells considerably during holiday
periods.
Being small does have some advantages
in that we are very close-knit, caring
communities and become instantly aware if
one of our members is missing from services.
Unless otherwise notified (e.g. on holiday),
fears are immediately raised that the person
may be ill, and in need of some follow-up
attention. Sickness is a constant concern as
so many of us are elderly or do not enjoy
robust health.
The pastoral affairs of the parish are ably
administered by Sr Marjorie Boutchard pvm
who is resident in the parish house adjacent
to St Michael’s Church at Campbell Town.
Currently, Sr Marjorie is away in Melbourne
recuperating after having had foot surgery.
Masses are celebrated at Campbell Town
on alternate Sundays, and at Swansea every
third Sunday, with the Launceston Parish
being responsible for the provision of a
priest. On other Sundays Liturgy of the
Word and Communion are celebrated, led by
Sr Marjorie and members of the respective
congregations. There are four ministers at
Campbell Town/Ross and two ministers and
two liturgy leaders at Swansea. All members
of both congregations take some part in
the liturgy (readings, collections, offertory
processions etc).
Other parish activities include: taking
Communion to the sick and incapacitated;
in conjunction with three other Christian
churches, services comprising prayers, hymns
and bible readings are held for residents of the
Campbell Town hospital each Monday.
What the future holds for ours and similar
small rural parishes is uncertain – with the
aging of our current congregations, and
nothing to hold young people in such districts,
who will take over the reins?
Both areas control their own finances,
fundraising and maintenance, and all
members are involved in decision making.

Church is the earthly embodiment of God.
It should lead by love and ideals, not rules
and punishments.
What is Parish? We understand the geographical Parish as:
The boundary of land in which the Church
Priest resides
A district associated with the above.
Probably a necessity in handling the
logistics associated with an organization.
We understand the Parish community as:
All the Catholics in our area
I believe that Parish is a smaller community,
generally attending one Mass centre and
united by common interests and sharing
of faith
Being part of a larger group of people with
common beliefs and values, knowing that
there are often people within my locality
that I can meet with
What is Church? We express, from the bottom of our heart, our feelings that Church is:
A place of worship, love and fellowship
A place I can connect with God and most
importantly receive him into my heart
The history of the West Tamar Parish is
a long and faithful one, being set in a
combination of suburban and rural areas
on the west of the Tamar River north of
Launceston.
The Parish Priest, Fr Allan Hartcher
ofm, resides at Riverside where there is a
Catholic Primary School. The two country
centres served from Riverside, are Glengarry,
predominantly a rural area, and Beaconsfield,
a mining town, where the Pastoral Associate
lives and operates in the ‘top end’ of the
Parish. Each of the three centres in the Parish
is very different in history, demography and
atmosphere, but each has a role to play in the
whole. This fact has presented a number of
difficulties and challenges since amalgamation
in 2002.
The aforement ioned groups are
represented on the Parish Pastoral Council and
Finance Committee. Rosters and parishioner
generosity cover the Ministries at the Altar
and the care of the Churches and Church
grounds, Liturgy preparation and music
ministry are a feature of Community worship,
Daily Mass at Riverside is attended by a small,
faithful band of parishioners, Prayer of the
West Tamar Parish
Church and Rosary groups meet each week at
Beaconsfield, Scripture and Lenten Discussions
are a mark of a community growing in faith,
Visitation of the sick and elderly is a regular
facet of care and concern, Generous support
for those in need is obvious at times of family
loss or tragedy, Small but vital community
groups of Ministers of Communion to the
sick, Catholic Women’s League, St Vincent de
Paul, Secular Franciscans and social groups
operate in the Parish.
We conducted a spontaneous and
short survey after Mass and these were our
findings.
The Lord’s people working together as
one
A fellowship of love, and service of
friendship and witness to the local area.
The parish is our community, the people
we live and worship with
Parish is a community of fellow parishioners
who keep me and help me stay connected
to God.
Our understanding of Parish is: The backbone of our community
It is the grassroots of the diocese and
should be carefully nurtured
A network of worship, prayer and support
for individuals, families and community
service groups which are vital to the life
of the Parish
Parishioners have ownership which should
be taken into account when changes are
introduced. I believe it is not the role of the
priest/hierarchy to make changes without
taking this into account.
A place to reassure our love for God and
his love for us. The physical structure
of worship and the spiritual place for
emotional guidance and comfort
A place to come and reflect on the week
past. To thank and praise God for all the
blessings we have received from Him
It is the light which attracts people by
providing leaven and lifestyle
A place for quiet time.
We believe the body of the Church is: A community that meets regularly in the
name of Jesus to worship and praise God,
to study the scriptures, to serve each other
in love and offer justice and peace to the
community at large
Church is the collective people of God’s
united in a common bond as a result of
faith and baptism
It is the Church’s role to work, both within
the faith community and the wider world,
to transform society
The church is where we link hands with all
those who have lived and died before us,
and all those who will come after us who
see in Jesus an ideal worth striving for
It can only bring people into communion
with God, if it presents the truth in a way
that can be understood in every age by
each generation

the warmer states, but, like most parishes,
our parish is struggling to accept the
changes in the Church
I feel we are at the beginning of a new and
exciting change
We are encouraged by the Parish being
vibrant and with initiative showing good
practice where Sunday in the absence of a
priest is concerned – community minded
in Beaconsfield
Seeking to know God better and helping
each other where the need lies
Our parish supports one another in our
faith
Hospitality is part of the local spirit and
shared meals are a regular feature
For me it is very vibrant, open minded and
welcoming, thank God
Even though:
Our Parish is growing older and dealing
with issues of commitment to beliefs
and values that are difficult in all parts of
peoples lives and trying to demonstrate
its worth to people – especially young
people and families
But other views were:
Solidarity encouragement fellowship, and
friendship
Since I came here it has been a delight to be
part of this parish. It’s due to the dedication
of Sr Frances that keeps everyone involved,
and people seem so willing to help
There is a concern in the tendency of
deleting parishes to suit the number of
priests, rather then actively encouraging
appropriate methods of coping without
ready access to priests
I have no idea what “Parish” means. It is
just a word to me.
Where our Parish is today –
We are:
Heading in the right direction
Very strong
Alive, growing in community
Very vibrant – especially surprising
considering the average age of participants
– and the spread of the area we come
from
Our sma l l ish groups are active ly
involved in the practical necessities and
this contributes largely to the depth of
commitments
Our parish is as strong as our weakest
member, unity is our hope for the
future.
We sometimes are:
Struggling for numbers, especially when
the winds chill and there is a migration to

We’re struggling to keep a sacred space
to hand on to the next generation
We’re struggling to keep the light of
Christ alive in a world where self interest
is “God”.
We feel our Parish is: Well organized
Like many other parishes trying to keep
the work of God present
Anybody’s guess but ‘God has a plan’.
In our wide spread area
We are very strong communities that are
also supportive of each other
We are a vibrant community that shares
and cares about each other. We have had
to make sacrifices over the years yet we
still remain strong
Being without a parish priest for quite a
few years, Beaconsfield and Glengarry
parishioners were prepared for leadership
roles, including leading regular Sunday
Liturgies in the absence of a priest.
Hopes for the future: Ageing parishioners pray for and would
welcome younger active members
Training is needed for local leaders and
co-ordinators to emerge from within the
group
A new image of Parish is needed for when
a full time Religious presence is no longer
available.

Parish Snapshot: St Mary’s Parish, East CoastBy Tim McManus, parishioner
St Mary’s Parish is a geographic and
a demographic enigma because
it comprises five places of worship (St
Mary’s, Fingal, Mangana, two Churches at
St Helens and a shared interdenominational
community Church at Bicheno) scattered
throughout two municipalities, serving a
gradually declining Catholic community.
Presently, there is no Parish Priest. Our
last priest, Fr Bill Egan, literally died on the
job, on December 14, 2004. Since then,
apart from periodic locum Priests from the
mainland, the east coast Parish has been
serviced from Launceston. Initially, this was
on a bi-monthly roster basis, with an extra
visitation whenever a fifth Sunday occurred
– four times annually.
Over the past three years, Fr Mike Delaney
has assumed sole responsibility for all Priestly
duties, covering thousands of kilometres
in the process. He has now been moved to
the West Coast and it is expected that a four
Priest roster system will be reintroduced.
Mass is always held in the most populous
section of the Parish – and also the most
distant – St Helens, at 6pm, except in the
winter months of June, July and August when
it is relegated to 5pm. During Fr Delaney’s
tenure, because of the escalation in the St
Helens congregation from holiday visitors,
he went to the trouble of saying a Mass on
every Saturday during January – a mighty
effort.
Presently, St Mary’s Parish is fortunate
to have the services of a resident Pastoral
Associate, Sr Lorraine Groves. She is kept
very busy with such tasks as leading Liturgy
of the Word and Communion, attending
Pastoral Council meetings and finance
committees. There are also Lay Leaders of
Sunday Celebrations at St Marys, Fingal and
St Helens. Local ecumenical liaisons also
feature prominently.
One hates to think
what will happen
when she eventually
retires.
Pope John Paul II
on his visit to St Leo’s parish in Melbourne in
1986 said, “A parish must always try to widen
its horizons. A Parish should look beyond its
own boundaries to the wider community,
the diocese and the universal church. Make
a continual effort to be a community, open
to everyone. We must make an effort to look
beyond the home parish. We all need Christ’s
look of love. The whole world needs the love
of Christ, the Redeemer. Through the Church
Christ communicates his love through the
Sacraments offered in the parish. Christ has
given the firm promise, I will be with you
always”.
“Our numbers may have
diminished but people
participate in church
worship and activities for
the right reasons” St Mary’s parishioner
through difficult history and experiences
the Spirituality of the people is strengthened
by a deep spirit of personal prayer, a great love
& respect for the Eucharist, a faithfulness in
worship – whether through Mass or Liturgy
of the Word with Communion, a search for
ways to deepen their faith and attendance
at retreat days.
We have:
Trained leaders of Liturgy of the Word (with
an eye to future potential leaders) and
Communion Ministers to the Sick who are
attending to Medea Park Nursing Home
residents as well as individual people in
their homes.
A prayer network being formed within the
parish.
Ecumenical prayer at St Marys and
St Helens
A good finance team – with business
experience
A functional Parish Pastoral Council
– meeting alternatively in St Marys
and St He lens communit y care
and concern of people in need of
suppor t and encouragement in
the Church community and in the local
community.
In the past
St Mary’s Parish has been a parish with
strong faith, strong commitment and
strong community spirit.
Now ?What has changed? St Mary’s Parish
has f inancial constraints (with only
one mine operating); rural and fishing
industries in decline; a decline in the
stable population of old, an influx of
new people with lesser links to the community
or parish seeking ‘sea changes’, ‘tree changes’,
‘early retirees’ who are less inclined to join in
voluntary groups, people believing but not
belonging; and an ageing population.
Our present parish boundaries are
Rossarden, Mangana, Mathinna, Fingal,
St Marys, Four Mile Creek, Bicheno, Scamander,
Beaumaris, St Helens and everything in
between.
What are our strengths and resources ?
Our people, particularly younger people,
are first and foremost, our most important
resource.

both strengthened and d im inished

The life of CYM’s Mission ACT1V8: “To
reinvigorate the young Church of Tasmania, to
build towards a future Church with a vibrant,
integrated and involved youth culture” is
well known and established throughout
the Archdiocese thanks to the hard work
and dedication of our Parish based Mission
ACT1V8 teams.
The programme of preparation in the lead
up to World Youth Day included the Palm
Sunday Pilgrimage in April, 2007, pilgrim
retreats, formation days, Journey of the WYD
Cross & Icon and Days in the Diocese.
The knowledge that CYM took 332
Tasmanian Pilgrims to WYD08 and the
excitement, passion and enthusiasm that
332 people can disperse throughout the state,
significantly contributed to the reinvigoration
of the whole Church in Tasmania. It has
increased our energy and given us a sincere
sense of hope for the future direction of the
Church.
This is not the end of the road for Catholic
Youth Ministry – it is only the beginning. As
an Archdiocese we have made significant
progress towards reinvigorating the young
Church (remember the young Church is not
just a Church filled with young people, but
a Church that is alive, well and believes its
best years are ahead of it) and we now look
to the second part of our mission. This part
of the mission belongs to, and is the task
of, the whole Catholic Church community.
Together we will aim ‘to build towards a future
Church’.
Catholic Youth Ministry will continue to
build on the energies and opportunities
created by WYD’08 and will be supporting
and resourcing all teams Parish level teams,
creating experiences of Church, as well as
developing our plan for beyond 2010, when
our current pastoral plan draws to an end and
a new and exciting one begins.
There have been some significant steps
forward in the development of Catholic
Youth Ministry (CYM) in the Archdiocese of
Hobart in recent times to coincide with the
potential opportunities that so obviously
present with hosting World Youth Day in
our home country. However, Catholic Youth
Ministry has had a life in this Diocese well
before the announcement of Sydney was
made to host World Youth Day 2008.
Catholic Youth Ministry have been running
programmes and events based around
the development of faith and interests of
young people in the Archdiocese for many
years. Beginning with volunteers, and then
moving up to part-time workers, finally in
1993 CYM gained a full-time employed youth
coordinator for the whole diocese.
After the contract ended for our second
full-time youth coordinator, Catholic Youth
Ministry took a short break while the
diocese worked through the Call to Change
programme. As a result of a Call to Change,
a full time youth coordinator was once again
employed in much the same role.
The youth coordinator at this time,
Josh Ariens, became interested in the
phenomenon of World Youth Day and despite
some resistance he pushed through to take
a group of young people to World Youth
Day 2002 in Toronto. Following in Josh’s
footsteps, Belinda Chapman took over the
role of Events Coordinator for Catholic Youth
Ministry in 2003. To her credit, she developed
a more involved programme of preparation
for the World Youth Day pilgrims travelling
to Cologne in 2005, taking more than twice
as many young people (67) from Tasmania
to Cologne.
By Rachelle Smith, Southern Deanery
Our Youth Ministry
youth ministry effort, Belinda and CYM’s
youth chaplain, Fr Richard Ross, launched
a campaign to give youth ministry all the
support the diocese could during this exciting
time of potential growth for the Catholic
Church in Australia. They lobbied hard to find
the funds and support for the Archdiocese to
employ three full-time youth coordinators,
one for each deanery, headed up by the youth
chaplain. Finally, in January 2007, They were
successful and the three deanery coordinators
began their journey towards World Youth
Day 2008, realizing what this could mean
for the Archdiocese of Hobart well beyond
World Youth Day.
Over the past 20 months CYM has very
much established itself as a pivotal agency
for the Catholic Church in Tasmania.

At Centacare, we have the privilege
of walking with our clients through
their challenges and then seeking responses
that can bring about effective change.
These responses include a range of new
group programmes offered across the State
to children, women, men and families.
We have been able to extend programmes
to rural areas in Georgetown, St Helens,
St Mary’s, Fingal, Scottsdale, Lilydale, Nabowla,
Longford, Deloraine, Westbury, Perth, Bagdad
and Levendale, while continuing to service
the West coast.
We have also continued the focus on
children, increasing the number of staff
trained in child consultancy and trauma
related issues.
Attracting and retaining staff, particularly
in the northern regions, is an ongoing
challenge. We compete with the government
services in recruitment of staff, along with

workers.
We have been fortunate to have a very low
staff loss. Thanks and appreciation is due to
all Centacare staff for the excellence of their
work, their commitment and their innovative
responses to challenges.
The past few years has seen further
extensions of our programmes and while
we are pleased with this growth, we are also
running out of spaces – which has also proved
a test of the ingenuity of staff in creating
additional space.
In October, Centacare hosted a conference
on poverty issues in Launceston. Running on
Empty: Poverty, Disadvantage and Social Exclusion
highlighted issues ranging from statistical
analysis of disadvantage to discrimination of
people living with mental illness.
While Centacare Welfare is known
throughout the wider community for
its support and care of those in need,
Centacare Employment and Training is
becoming acclaimed for its innovative and
caring approach to jobseekers.
A change in the Federal Government has
also brought a review of existing services –
we eagerly wait to learn the outcomes of these.
The State Government has completed a major
review of Child Protection, Family Support
and Disability Services and new models
of service delivery are anticipated. These
in turn will demand greater collaboration
and partnerships between non-government
agencies.
Some things have remained constant – the
level of poverty has not improved and the
critical affordable housing shortage continues.
Christ told us that the poor will always be with
us and His commission remains constant to
support the poor and needy.

Over the past twenty years Catholic
Schools in Tasmania have continued
to grow and flourish.
After a period of declining enrolments
during the 1990s the demand for Catholic
education has steadily increased. In 1988,
11,376 children attended a Catholic school,
by 2008 this number had grown to 15,092
students, an increase of more than 30%.
Cathol ic schools have expanded
to accommodate an additional 1,000
kindergarten (4 year old) children, as well
as nearly doubling the number of senior
secondary students (Years 11 and 12) who
are completing their education (866 pupils
in 1988 compared with 1,641 in 2008).
Accompanying this growth, the Catholic
sector has undertaken a major building
and refurbishment programme. In 2008
alone, over $22 million worth of building
programmes are underway, highlighted by
the $9 million stage one development of the
new St Aloysius Catholic College.
Catholic schools have continued their
tradition of being welcoming and inclusive
communities reaching out to all sectors of
the Tasmanian community. For example, the
number of children with specific learning
difficulties has grown to nearly 250 students
in 2008. Similarly, with over 520 indigenous
children, Tasmania has one of the highest
Catholic Education: growth points
ratios of Aboriginal children of any diocese
in Australia (3.8% of the student population).
Of particular note has been the proportion
of families from faith traditions other than
Catholic who have chosen Catholic schools for
their children. In 2008 approximately 46% of
families seeking enrolment in Catholic schools
came from other religious traditions.
A hallmark of Catholic schools over the
past twenty years has been their ongoing
c o m m i t m e n t t o
nurturing the pastoral
welfare of students,
wh i lst concurrently
maintaining high levels of
academic achievement.
Recent results from
the Commonwea lth
Government’s national
testing programme have
affirmed the educational
qua l it y of Cathol ic
schools. Across the
entire range of testing
categories, Tasmanian
C a t h o l i c s t u d e n t s
performed above the
national benchmark
standard in 18 out of
20 categories. Of even
greater signif icance,
C a t h o l i c s t u d e n t s
equalled or bettered
the national average in
the top two achievement
bands on 15 occasions. That is to say that,
not only are Catholic students meeting the
minimum standards, but they are consistently
over represented at the upper achievement
levels when compared to the Australia-wide
peer group.
Within this context of growth and
achievement, what then are the challenges
that confront Catholic Education into the
future? In 2006, Archbishop Doyle initiated a
series of ‘Days of Discernment’ with Priests,
Principals and senior leaders in Catholic
Education. Amongst the myriad of issues
that have been discussed, the following four
questions were specifically identified:
What are some of the specific hallmarks
of a Catholic school that should always
continue to be proclaimed and celebrated
within the Tasmanian community?
What is the nature and balance of the
enrolment profile of Catholic schools?
How can Catholic schools more proactively
reach out to all Catholic families who have
lost contact with their faith community,
with a particular emphasis on those who
are marginalised and disadvantaged?
What formation strategies will help ensure
staff employed in Catholic schools continue
to have a deep understanding and
commitment to their changing ministry?
In response to these challenges the
Tasmanian Catholic Education Commission
established the ‘Call to New Evangelisation’
working party, committed to developing
practical strategies aimed at addressing the

being welcoming, inclusive communities reaching
out to all sectors of the Tasmanian community

for the Future
above questions. Notable achievements over
the past two years include:
The development and launch of the
Archbishop’s Charter for Catholic
Schools.
The establishment of the Archdiocesan
Education Foundation to provide parish
bursaries to enable low-income families
to access Catholic schools.
The development of a comprehensive
staff formation programme in the area of
Catholic spirituality (over 100 teachers have
enrolled in or completed a post-graduate
certificate in Religious Education; an
extensive retreat programme for teachers
‘Courage to Be’ has been initiated).
A revision of Archdiocesan enrolment
processes, so as to aim towards an
aspirational target of 75% enrolment of
Catholic families in Tasmania’s Catholic
schools, with a particular emphasis on
encouraging the nearly 50% of Catholic
families in Tasmania not accessing Catholic
schools to consider the option of a Catholic
education.
Strengthening of the formal assessment
of Religious Education through the
introduction of statewide common
assessment tasks and moderation of
student learning outcomes, combined with
the planned introduction of a ‘religious
knowledge’ test for year 4 and year 8
students over the next two years.
The commitment of Catholic schools to
tangibly support the Archdiocesan Youth
Ministry and World Youth Day.
The piloting of a Parish-School Pastoral
Associate to build links between school
and parish communities.
The establishment of working parties
to further explore and strengthen the
relationships between schools, parishes
and families.
The upcoming Archdiocesan Assembly will
provide an opportunity for the wider Catholic
community to reflect upon the spiritual and
pastoral needs of families with school age
children and potentially suggest further areas
for exploration and development. Similarly,
the Catholic Education sector will look to how
it can even more fully embrace and support
the overall Archdiocesan Pastoral Plan as it
evolves over coming months.
