Michael Kirby AC CMG THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND ST LEO’S COLLEGE ARCHBISHOP SIR JAMES DUHIG MEMORIAL LECTURE 7 AUGUST 2018 ARCHBISHOP DUHIG, POPE FRANCIS AND THE LGBT FAITHFUL – A PROTESTANT ACKNOWLEDGMENT* The Hon. Michael Kirby AC CMG** INTRODUCTION It is a privilege to be asked to deliver the thirty ninth memorial lecture that honours the memory of Archbishop Sir James Duhig KCMG, the third Roman Catholic Archbishop of Brisbane (1917-1965). Most of my predecessors in the series have been Australians raised as Catholics, although John Howard, as Prime Minister, was, like me, a Protestant exception. Most of us derive our religious allegiance from our parents. We absorb its traditions, become aware of its liturgy and recognise its strengths and human failings. If we adhere to it, this Faith becomes a part of us, especially cherished because it reminds us of the precious years of childhood, our families and our educational experiences. Not only was I * Text for the author’s thirty ninth Duhig Lecture, delivered at St Leo’s College Brisbane, 7 August 2018. ** Justice of the High Court of Australia (1996-2009); Co-Chair of the International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute (2018-). 1 not raised in the doctrines and traditions of the Catholic Church, I must confess that my upbringing contained elements of the hostile denominationalism that was still common in Australia in the middle of the last century. -
Parish Apostolate: New Opportunities in the Local Church
IV. PARISH APOSTOLATE: NEW OPPORTUNITIES IN THE LOCAL CHURCH by John E. Rybolt, C.M. Beginning with the original contract establishing the Community, 17 April 1625, Vincentians have worked in parishes. At fIrst they merely assisted diocesan pastors, but with the foundation at Toul in 1635, the fIrst outside of Paris, they assumed local pastorates. Saint Vincent himself had been the pastor of Clichy-Ia-Garenne near Paris (1612-1625), and briefly (1617) of Buenans and Chatillon les-Dombes in the diocese of Lyons. Later, as superior general, he accepted eight parish foundations for his community. He did so with some misgiving, however, fearing the abandonment of the country poor. A letter of 1653 presents at least part of his outlook: ., .parishes are not our affair. We have very few, as you know, and those that we have have been given to us against our will, or by our founders or by their lordships the bishops, whom we cannot refuse in order not to be on bad terms with them, and perhaps the one in Brial is the last that we will ever accept, because the further along we go, the more we fmd ourselves embarrassed by such matters. l In the same spirit, the early assemblies of the Community insisted that parishes formed an exception to its usual works. The assembly of 1724 states what other Vincentian documents often said: Parishes should not ordinarily be accepted, but they may be accepted on the rare occasions when the superior general .. , [and] his consul tors judge it expedient in the Lord.2 229 Beginnings to 1830 The founding document of the Community's mission in the United States signed by Bishop Louis Dubourg, Fathers Domenico Sicardi and Felix De Andreis, spells out their attitude toward parishes in the new world, an attitude differing in some respects from that of the 1724 assembly. -

Background to the Foundation of the Sisters of St Joseph & The
Background to the Foundation of the Sisters of St Joseph & the Establishment of the Woods/MacKillop System of Catholic Education Sr Marie Therese Foale rsj Australia has a Catholic Education second to none in the world. Our country owes this to the vision, energy and hard work of a great many people over the past two centuries. In particular, we acknowledge the courage and foresight of those two great Australians, Mary MacKillop and Julian Tenison Woods, and of the Congregation of the Sisters of St Joseph which they established in South Australia in the 1860s. Woods and Mary did their most important educational work in that state and the religious congregation they founded was shaped and nurtured by the particular ethos of its people. A glance at its early history will help the reader to come to some understanding of the background to the founders' work and why it developed as it did. South Australia was a colony with a difference. White settlers arrived there in 1836, fifty years after Captain Arthur Phillip and the convicts had laid claim to New South Wales. Those who came to South Australia were free men and women whose aim was to create a society where all might enjoy the religious and political freedom denied them in the British Isles. Hence, they were utterly opposed to any form of state aid to religion. They refused to allow the establishment of a governmentsponsored Church such as existed in the old country and decreed that the members of each religious denomination should provide their own places of worship support their own ministers and pay for the education of their children. -

Michael O'farrell CM
THE FIRST VINCENTIAN BISHOP IN AUSTRALIA MICHAEL O’FARRELL CM Greg Cooney CM Introduction There have been two Vincentian Bishops in Australia: Bishop Michael O’Farrell CM, the fourth Bishop of Bathurst (1920-1928) and Bishop Richard Ryan CM. The latter was appointed the second bishop of Geraldton (1923-1926) and subsequently, the third bishop of Sale (1926-1957). This article will give a short account of Michael O’Farrell’s years in Bathurst. Most of what is presented here has already been published and so, in that sense, is not new. What this article does is to bring that information together, and to focus it. Before Bathurst (1865-1920) Michael O’Farrell was born in Ireland at Milhow, (Milltown) near Mullingar on 7 April 1865. The family appears to have been a devout one: two of his sisters were Sisters of Mercy, Sister Cathaldus and Sister Malachy, and three of his brothers were priests. One of them, Fr P O’Farrell remained in Ireland, while the other two, Bernard and Timothy, emigrated to Australia to work in the diocese of Sydney. 1 After completing his schooling at St Finian’s College, Navan, he entered Maynooth Seminary. He was a fellow student of Daniel 1 All Hallows Annual (1927-1928): 120; and Marie Crowley, Women of the Vale. Perthville Josephites 1872-1972 , (Richmond, Victoria: Spectrum Publications, 2002), 122, 238. The First Vincentian Bishop in Australia Mannix, who later became Archbishop of Melbourne, and of Maurice O’Reilly. At the end of a distinguished course O’Farrell was ordained in 1887 and joined the Vincentians. -
Launch of Mannix Library's Special Collections Room
Launch of Mannix Library’s Special Collections Room by Kerrie Burn AFALIA (DCP) Library Manager, Mannix Library, Catholic Theological College, University of Divinity On Friday 15th February 2019, a gathering was held in Mannix Library (http://www.mannix.org.au/) in East Melbourne to celebrate the launch of the library’s new Special Collections Room. The well-attended event was also an opportunity for library staff to demonstrate the library’s newly installed ElarScan A2 scanner, as well as a new website, created to showcase the library’s Archbishop Goold Special Collection. For the past two years, Mannix Library staff have been involved with a project funded by the Australian Research Council titled A Baroque Archbishop in Colonial Australia: James Alipius Goold, 1812-1886. Goold was Melbourne’s first Catholic Archbishop and made a significant contribution to colonial Melbourne, amassing significant collections of artworks and books, and commissioning the construction of St Patrick’s Cathedral. Contributions by Mannix Library staff to the Goold project to date have included: several talks and conference presentations, including at the Goold Symposium in February 2018; research into and curation of an 15 The ANZTLA EJournal, No 22 (2019) ISSN 1839-8758 exhibition of Goold books at Catholic Theological College; the creation of a website to showcase Goold’s library (https://gooldlibrary.omeka.net/); writing articles for the project’s blog; co- authorship of a chapter on Goold’s library in a forthcoming book, The Invention of Melbourne: A Baroque Archbishop and a Gothic Architect; and preparation for an exhibition of the same name being held at the Old Treasury Building in Melbourne from 31 July 2019—January 2020. -

According to sources he led an adventurous life, and spent time in out of the way colonial outposts. He composed music seemingly of substance, and for ensembles normally associated with higher class music, yet despite this, we have only one work surviving by this active musician and prolific composer. Much of his life and professional activity has been thoroughly explored in Graeme Skinner’s important thesis on early Australian composition.1 More is found in his website of Australian composers, and the accompanying chronology of Australian composition.2 Both sources are important documents.3 The birth date of Joseph Gautrot is unknown, but there are various mentions of his early life and career in an obituary in Bell’s Life of 4 February 1854.4 In the obituary he was cited as being a member of Napoleon’s Imperial Guard, probably as a musician, and was present during the Russian Campaign of 1812. -

Y.M. (Anne) McLay. Now - as in his lifetime - Bishop James Quinn is a controversial, and to many an unattractive, though highly significant figure of the foundation years of the Catholic Church in Queensland. My interest was aroused in discovering his true personality through my work in the history of Catholic education in this State, especially that of Mother Vincent Whitty and the first Sisters of Mercy. After several years of research I am still ambivalent towards him. I feel, however, this ambivalence is due to the paradoxes inherent in his personality rather than to any deficiency in my research. I have tried to show in this thesis the complexity of his character that these paradoxes caused. Bishop Quinn died in 1881, but the foundations of his work in Queensland were laid by 1875. To appreciate the shape of the Church that soared grandly from these foundations, to understand the conflict and the turmoil that surrounded the man and his creation, the bishop must be first seen in his original environment, Ireland and Rome. -
Archives of the Irish Jesuit Mission to Australia, 1865-1931
Irish Jesuit Archives 2015 © The following talk was given at 21st Australasian Irish Studies conference, Maynooth University, 20 June 2015 by Damien Burke, Assistant Archivist, Irish Jesuit Archives. The archives of the Irish Jesuit Mission to Australia, 1865-1931 One hundred and fifty years ago, two Irish Jesuits arrived in Melbourne, Australia at the invitation of James Alipius Goold, bishop of Melbourne. For the next hundred years, Irish Jesuits worked mainly as missionaries, and educators in the urban communities of eastern Australia. This article will seek to explore the work of this mission from 1865 until the creation of Australia as a Vice-Province in 1931, as told through the archival prism of the documents and photographs held at the Irish Jesuit Archives. Background to Irish Jesuit Archives In 1540, Ignatius of Loyola founded the Society of Jesus (Jesuits). Ignatius, with his secretary, Fr Juan Polanco SJ, wrote in the Jesuit Constitutions in 1558, that ‘precise instructions were given to all Jesuits on the missions to write to their superiors at home, and to those in Rome, for the dual purpose of information and inspiration.’ From this moment onwards, the Jesuits, have been acutely aware to the value of documents. ‘God has blessed the Society with an incomparable fund of documents which allow us to contemplate clearly our origins, our fundamental charism.’ Father General Pedro Arrupe SJ, 1976 A history of Irish Jesuits in Australia (1865-1931) The Irish were not the first Jesuits in Australia. Austrian Jesuits had arrived in the colony of South Australia in 1848, after their expulsion from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. -
