  • Half-Drowned Or Half-Baked – Essays in the History of North Fitzroy
    HALF-DROWNED OR HALF-BAKED ESSAYS IN THE HISTORY OF NORTH FITZROY 3 December 2017 cover illustration Rudolf Jenny’s etching is looking south from Queens Parade in about 1870. The swamp in the foreground was rehabilitated by the Reilly Street Drain, and the Gasometer Hotel (still standing) identifies its proximity to the Gas Works in North Fitzroy. (courtesy Gil Langfield) HALF-DROWNED OR HALF-BAKED ESSAYS IN THE HISTORY OF NORTH FITZROY proceedings of a seminar at North Fitzroy, 3 December 2017 editor: Miles Lewis Fitzroy History Society The support of the City of Yarra and Officeworks, Fitzroy, is gratefully acknowledged ISBN 978-0-6482252-0-1 CONTENTS Miles Lewis Planning of North Fitzroy 9 Mike Moore North from Holden Street 39 Terence Nott Made in North Fitzroy 57 Meg Lee Milk in North Fitzroy 77 Peter Woods Yan Yean Pipeline and St Georges Road 93 Tim Gatehouse Howe Street Subdivision 105 Gil Langfield Rags to Riches 123 Miles Lewis The J H Porter Building 129 PREFACE Half-Drowned or Half-Baked is a collection of research projects carried out by members of the Fitzroy History Society in 2017. The title comes from The Chronicles of early Melbourne by ‘Garryowen’ [Edmund Finn], published in 1888, and refers to the area north of the Reilly Street drain. These essays relate to that area. North Fitzroy has not had the same attention from historians as the southern part of the suburb, though less than twenty years separate the two areas, and it is older than most other suburbs of Melbourne. It is hoped that this publication will encourage research on other topics relating to North Fitzroy.

  • Nation's Bishops Arrive for Golden Tribute Catholic Bishops From
    Nation's Bishops Arrive for Golden Tribute Catholic bishops from across the nation have begun arriving in Adelaide for tomorrow's tribute to Adelaide's Archbishop Leonard Faulkner. Twenty four bishops and 109 priests from all corners of Australia will celebrate a golden anniversary for Archbishop Faulkner in St Francis Xavier's Cathedral at 10:30am. The Mass will celebrate a significant milestone in the life of Adelaide's Catholic community - the 50th anniversary of Archbishop Faulkner's ordination as a priest in Rome on January 1, 1950. The Apostolic Nuncio, Archbishop Francesco Canalini, who is the Vatican's official representative in Australia, will concelebrate the Mass with the Australian bishops, including the Archbishop of Melbourne, Perth and Canberra/Goulburn. Bishop Eugene Hurley, Bishop of Port Pirie, and many priests from his diocese, will also attend. In an act which represents the continuity and harmony of the leadership of the Adelaide church, the homily will be delivered by Archbishop James Gleeson, Emeritus Archbishop of Adelaide - who retired from his active leadership role when Archbishop Faulkner was appointed Archbishop of Adelaide in 1985. A full list of bishops attending is below. As always, members of the public are welcome to attend the Mass, irrespective of religious belief. Media attendance at the Mass is welcome, but please respect the integrity of the occasion.

  • Michael Costigan*
    VATICAN II AS I EXPERIENCED IT Michael Costigan* A memorable Roman autumn Autumn is an enchanting time in Rome. By October the relentless heat of July and August, from which many of the Romans themselves flee, is only an uncomfortable memory. The days are shorter, often blessed by cloudless skies, with mild sunshine enhancing the golden glow of some of the ancient and modern buildings, especially in the late afternoon. The Romans, including the Pope and his court, have returned, the number of tourists has declined, the schools and universities are open for business and hot roasted chestnuts are on sale at street corners – or used to be in my day. After living through nine Roman autumns as a seminarian and student- priest between 1952 and 1961, I welcomed the chance in 1963 to experience one more of those magical seasons, probably my last and certainly the most memorable of all. I was there that year for the second of the four autumnal sessions of the Second Vatican Council, as a priest-reporter commissioned to cover the event for the Melbourne Catholic Advocate, of which I was the Associate Editor, as well as for three other Australian Catholic weekly newspapers. With the Australian Catholic Historical Society marking the 50th anniversary this year of the opening of Vatican II by making that event the theme of several of the monthly papers scheduled for 2012, the Society’s President suggested I help to set the scene by painting a picture of what it was actually like to be at the Council. My writings and diary My memory of the 77 days I spent in Rome during that autumn is aided by the voluminous reports I mailed back to Australia and by a pamphlet subsequently published by the Australian Catholic Truth Society with the title Vatican Council Survey, in which I summarised those reports.1 In addition, I kept a rough diary in an exercise book in which, usually before retiring late at night, I noted my daily activities in and around the Council.

  • The Australian Hierarchy at Vatican II" Thang Vu, 2007, Written During Seminary Formation Towards the Priesthood
    "The Australian Hierarchy at Vatican II" Thang Vu, 2007, written during seminary formation towards the priesthood. Part I: A Brief Survey of the Deepening Crisis in Relationships between the Catholic Church and Society during the Post-Tridentine Period Impact of the world’s events in Australia In the midst of the deepening crises in the relationship between the Church and society during the Post-Tridentine period, namely: the Scientific Revolution (1543); the Enlightenment; American and French Revolutions; Restoration; Risogimento and the Modernist crisis, it is not suggested that the Church in Australia imported or affected – without any qualifications whatsoever – the dogmas and attitudes of mind of Europe and other parts of world. Nonetheless, Roman authority, and its own inclinations, influenced the Church in Australia to take a conservative direction. In particular, spurred by conservative ultramontanism, and concerned about the threat of secularism and anti-clericalism that was largely attributed to the growth of liberalism in Europe, the Church in the 18 th and 19 th centuries opted for the establishment, and maintenance of a unified and centralised Church. Sectarianism and Ecumenism In Australia, the Church Act of 1836 sought to treat all religions equally by providing financial aid to all religions. However sectarianism, which arrived with the convicts and settlers, was never far away and when the churches refused to give up their rights to run their own religious schools, the government of the day withdrew financial funding and declared, in the 1872 Act, that education should be free, secular and compulsory .1 There has never been a state religion here and all religions have been treated equally before and after the establishment of the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901, when it ceased to be a colony.

  • Homily by Bishop Eugene Hurley for the Golden Jubilee of the Episcopal Ordination of Emeritus Archbishop Leonard Faulkner. It Is
    Homily by Bishop Eugene Hurley for the golden jubilee of the episcopal ordination of Emeritus Archbishop Leonard Faulkner. It is particularly apt and appropriate that we should be celebrating the Golden Jubilee of the Episcopacy of Archbishop Len Faulkner on the feast of All Saints. I say this because it is a word that St. Paul is particularly fond of. In most of his letters, Paul greets his readers as ‘saints’. He means by this term that they are the true believers, they are the holy ones, the holy people of God: they are in fact the church. This is eminently applicable to the family of Archbishop Faulkner. Archbishop Len began life in Murray Town which is an outer suburb of Booleroo Centre, which is in turn a suburb of the city of Carrieton. In fact these places had much in common. The people who lived there were people of the earth who treasured the important things in life. The Faulkner family epitomised this fidelity of life. When the depression struck and Len’s father found himself out of work with a family to support. Len, at age 10, remembers his Dad praying the 90 day prayer and then calling the family together. He remembers, until this day, the words of his father. Having outlined the drastic state they were facing his father said, “God will look after us.” It was obvious to the family that he meant it, and so the family then went about life with a sense of hope and security. As Len says, “God did look after us in answer to prayer and the faith of my father”.

  • Dernancourt Catholic Parish
    Dernancourt Catholic Parish Church of Saint Pius X In the Pastoral care of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate 1 Avoca Street, Dernancourt PO Box 85, Dernancourt SA 5075 Telephone 8261 2428 Email [email protected] Web www.oblates.com.au Parish Priest: Fr Mathew Raj OMI 4th Sunday of Easter Year B Sunday 25th April 2021 Weekly Reflection The fourth Sunday of Easter is also called Good Shepherd Sunday. In each of the three lectionary cycles, our Gospel is taken from the 10th chapter of the Gospel of John. In Cycle B, we hear the middle verses of this chapter. Unless we consider this chapter in the greater context of John’s Gospel, we will miss the radical nature of the statement Jesus makes when he declares himself to be the Good Shepherd. This chapter of John’s Gospel follows Jesus’ healing of the man born blind and the rejection of this miracle by the Jewish leaders who question Jesus’ authority to heal. Jesus responds to this challenge by calling himself the Good Shepherd. He is criticizing the leadership of the Pharisees and the other Jewish leaders. The Pharisees and other Jewish leaders are so angry that they attempt to stone and arrest Jesus (see John 10:31, 39). This controversy with the religious leaders continues until Jesus’ death. In the portion of the chapter that we hear proclaimed today, Jesus describes his relationship with his followers as similar to the relationship between a good shepherd and his sheep. As a good shepherd will risk and lay down his life in order to protect his sheep, Jesus willingly sacrifices himself for the sake of his sheep.

  • Blackwood Catholic Church History
    Blackwood Catholic Church History The development of the Catholic community of Blackwood and Belair reflects both that of the Catholic Church in South Australia and the general development of the district. The early Catholics of Blackwood and Belair originally formed a small proportion of the district’s general population. The community comprised a few families who generally lived and worked within the district, many in the farms and orchards of Coromandel Valley. Until the twentieth century, Blackwood and Belair was considered a country district with Mass being celebrated only occasionally by visiting priests. Masses were generally held in private homes, the most regularly used being that of John McNamara in Coromandel Valley. Special occasions might be celebrated in community venues such as the Coromandel Valley institute, and later the Boys’ Club Hall on Coromandel Parade. Religious worship became more regular after the Passionist Fathers became responsible for serving the Catholics of Blackwood and Belair late in 1896, after the latter opened their retreat house at Glen Osmond. Ever eager to have a church in which to worship, the local Catholics set about fundraising for the purpose and, in 1911, succeeded in raising £50 which was sufficient to acquire the block of land on the corner of Coromandel Parade and Simla Parade. Later, in 1919 they had the opportunity to have their own church when the government sought tenders for the one-time Catholic Soldiers’ Hut at the Mitcham Army camp. The local bid was successful and the hut was dismantled, transported to Blackwood and re-erected on the site previously acquired.
