… but now I must try to give you a little description of the place we are living in, hoping it will interest you. Well, dearest Mother, as opposite from London as black is from white. The place is very large – a vast country – even in what is called the town, cattle are feeding in the middle of the streets – in England we would not call them streets but country roads. When one sees the church crowded and the schools full of children, one wonders where they all come from, so few persons are seen about – but it is to be accounted for when I tell you the little wooden houses or cottages are far and wide between – the children come immense distances to school – there are some who start from their homes at 7 to be with us at 9. Where we live now is also a house (no stairs to go up being all on one flat) standing by itself – fields, country lanes and vineyards all around us – cows and horses feed right up to our verandah – it’s all so still and quiet. (A description of the temporary convent as described in the first letter of the New Foundation in Grafton to Mother Mary Aloysius at Bermondsey. Letter is dated April 24, 1884). Our new convent is being built on the bank overlooking the Clarence, a lovely view all around, no houses near – except one or two the other side of the bank and the priests’ house and church on the same ground – so you see we are quite isolated. There is no fear of being kept awake at night by the noise of carriages or carts or people singing etc. – nothing is to be heard but now and again some dogs or cows and frogs.

Our convent will be very nice when it is finished, the chapel will be at the very top. Don’t you think it will be nice to have our Lord looking down upon us all – the chapel window faces the river. It will be a very convenient Convent – 13 cells, a nice community room, work room, noviceship, infirmary, a small room for study, Reverend Mother’s parlour, chapter room, reception parlour, refectory, kitchen, a little store room, washing and ironing room and bath room – it has been greatly enlarged from what it was first intended…(A description of the new convent building as described in the first letter of the New Foundation in Grafton to Mother Mary Aloysius at Bermondsey. Letter is dated April 24, 1884).

Description taken from the original prospectus: “The College is situated approximately three miles north of the town of Lismore. It stands majestically on a spur of the Pegon Ridge, towering boldly over

the river, which flows past less than four hundred feet from the front entrance. The ground between the river and the building is being laid out in two terraces that are in keeping with the scale of the building.The College itself is an imposing three-storey ferro-concrete building designed on restrained Modern-Rmanesque lines and eminently suitable for Australian climatic conditions. The dark brick piers, rising with unbroken line to a height of thirty six feet, before they carry the semi-circular arches, give an impression of beauty united with strength.”

The Bombing of Darwin Recalled by Dan McAloon

On 19 February 1942 mainland Australia came under attack for the first time when Japanese forces mounted two air raids on Darwin.

Sixty five years on, that event was commemorated in Darwin and recalled by Dan McAloon in his article: Tiwi Islands Ministry – One People, Two Islands.

Though it seems very remote from world affairs, history records how on February 19, 1942, the Catholic mission on Bathurst Island was the first place in Australia to experience war when Japanese bombers, on their way to Darwin, strafed Nguiu. The priest in charge at the time notified Darwin of the incoming warplanes but his message was ignored. The impact of the war and its effects on the Tiwi people was experienced first-hand by Sr Barbara Tippolay AD. A proud Tiwi woman, Barbara is the regional leader of the Sister Handmaidens of Our Lord Congregation. In 1942, as a small child, Barbara was among a group of 30 girls in the care of the Sisters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart (OLSH) who were evacuated to the strange environs of Melbourne and Adelaide to continue their schooling for the war’s duration.

“My best memory is of the war finishing,” Barbara recalls. “I was ten-years-old and the news came that we were going back. You should have seen the excitement in our little faces at the joy of going home!”

Today Barbara lives on Melville Island with another AD Sister, providing a pastoral ministry that combines catechist work with drug and alcohol education programs. The cost of alcohol and marijuana abuse within Tiwi society is a subject well documented, she says. “There is violence associated with it, especially for women. We can offer them our support in times of great need. Most of our communication is with the Tiwi women. According to Tiwi culture and tradition, if you work with the women first you are speaking to the family.”

Although raised by the OLSH Sisters, Barbara has never considered herself one of the “stolen generation”. “I don’t know if my mother brought me to the convent - I never asked that question. All I remember is we were taken to Melville Island and then when war broke out in 1942 we were evacuated. All women and children were evacuated from Darwin too. The Sisters travelled with us to Melbourne where we stayed for a couple of months I believe. I was too young to remember.”

“My own coming to religious life was a process of long discernment. I grew up at the boarding school and I think my life was touched by the way the sisters were with children, how they cared for the children. So this I think was the beginning of my call to life.” Barbara was called to religious life with the AD Order and undertook her formation and teacher training in PNG.

The Tiwi Islands, comprised of Bathurst and Melville Islands, lie 80 kilometres north of Darwin across the Beagle Gulf. The Islands, separated by the narrow Apsley Strait, are home to the Tiwi people, who have lived here for thousands of years. In the late 1970s, ownership was handed back to the Tiwi people, who today administer lands through the Tiwi Land Council.

Peter Joseph Gannon

It’s often said that a book is never lost. Whether that was thought up as a consolation to authors or not, in this case it is certainly true. Mr Paul

Gannon, a member of the St. Vincent de Paul Society in Lismore, recently came across a copy of “Maxims and Counsels of St. Vincent de Paul “ for every day of the year. The little book belonged to his father, the late Peter Joseph Gannon, who had a very distinguished architectural career. The work of the late Most Rev. Dr. Walsh, Archbishop of Halifax, it was published by M.H.Gill & Son, Ltd of Dublin.

The book offers words of advice for each day of the year. The entry for the 13th of September reads: “If two ways lead to the same, it is of little importance which we select; but to submit our own to our neighbour’s will is no indifferent matter.”

The last pages of the book contain a Litany in honour of St. Vincent de Paul.

Born in Auburn N.S.W on the 19TH July 1889, Peter Joseph Gannon was educated by the Lewisham Christian Brothers, and at Sydney Technical College. He was associated with a number of constructional enterprises as an architect in Sydney, and in 1909 went to Newcastle as a naval architect at the Government Dockyards, Walsh Island..

Several years later he embarked on a private practice and achieved a State-wide reputation as an ecclesiastical architect.

Mr. Gannon was a prominent church worker, and was involved with the establishment of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul in the Newcastle area. He was President of the Particular Council of Newcastle (now called Regional

Among the church buildings that were planned and erected to his design and under his supervision in N.S.W. were : St. Columba’s, Adamstown St. Kevin’s, CardiffSt. Therese, New Lambton Church of Our Lady of Peace, SconeCorpus Christi, Waratah St Laurence’s, Broadmeadow, The Church of the The Ursuline Chapel, Armidale Sacred Heart (now the Cathedral), HamiltonSt. Joseph’s, East Maitland Renovation of St. Mary’s, Newcastle St. Mary’s, Dungog Church of the Holy Rosary, Taree.St. Mary of the Angels, Guyra St. Henry’s, East Moree.St. Patrick’s, Ben Lomond. St. Augustine’s, Narromine.The Ursuline Chapel, Armidale

Amongst the more prominent buildings of other nature completed under his guidance were:

St. Joseph’s Convent, Merewether St. Francis’ Xavier’s School (Marist Brothers), HamiltonConvents of Mercy at Hamilton Tighe’s Hill, LambtonThe Novitate Building, Singleton, De La Salle College, ArmidaleThe Mater Misericordiae Hospital at Waratah

Many other building activities of various natures make up a long list of outstanding achievements of a particularly talented architect.Just prior to his death at the age of 45 years, he was preparing plans for the renovation of St. Joseph’s Convent at Auburn.His ecclesiastical architectural career spanned some 20 years.

Father Anthony Miazzi was one of 94 people who lost their lives when

an Alitalia DC8 crashed into the densely jungled Western Ghats Mountains northeast of Bombay early Saturday morning (A.E.S.T.) July 7, 1962.

Father Miazzi was returning to his hometown to visit his seriously ill mother.

Before leaving North Lismore Parish to make the trip to Italy, 700 people attended a farewell function for him at the Italo-Australian Club.

Father Miazzi was born near Padova, Northern italy on 16th February 1932. At the age of eleven he entered the College of Bassano del grappa with the intention of becoming a missionary priest. Before he completed his training he went to a seminary in the United States for further studies. His first appointment was in the Parish of North Lismore. He arrived in Goolmangar in February 1958 where he was welcomed by about seventy families. He was the first of the

Scalabrini Fathers to work in the Diocese of Lismore. The people of Goolmangar came to know Father Miazzi for his zeal and charity. He visited them at home , at work and even celebrated Mass for them in their garages.

Father Miazzi later moved to the Presbytery at North Lismore when Bishop Farrelly added this district to the parish. Father Miazzi spent nearly five years in the parish before his tragic death.

At the North Lismore Parish on 31st march 1968, Bishop Farrelly blessed a monument in honour of Father Miazzi. When the church at North Lismore was closed the monument was erected in New Italy. On the 28th April 1991 at New Italy, a Mass was celebrated for Father Miazzi by Father Francis Lovetin (a colleague of Father Miazzi) who

also blessed the monument at its new home in The Park of Peace.

the Diocese, Bishop John Carroll.1922 was during the Papacy of Benedict XV who

succeeded Saint Pius X. It was St Pius X whose vigorous fight against modernism left the Church divided.

In his first encyclical Pope Benedict XV called on the progressives and the traditionalists to come together for the good of the Church. He also called for an end to World War I but his plea was virtually ignored.

New Director for St Joseph’s

Cowper

Over the next sixty years, Cowper orphanage became an icon on the North Coast, caring for hundreds of

young children. Its success and viability relied on the selfless work of the Sisters, together with the overwhelming support of the general Cowper community and Parishes throughout the Diocese.

When St Joseph’s was moved to Grafton in 1972 to provide more educational opportunities for the children, a Board was established to assist the Sisters in their work. However, until the middle of the 80’s, St Joseph’s was staffed and administered totally by the Sisters of Mercy, with the support of many volunteers who assisted with baby sitting, sewing and mending, maintenance of grounds and buildings and fundraising.

Over the last twenty years, the number of lay staff employed at St Joseph’s has increased considerably, whilst the number of Sisters employed has declined. With Sr. Barbara’s departure as Director, Sr. Jan Holahan, who is employed as a therapist, is the only Sister of Mercy remaining on Staff.

In accepting the position as Director, Sue McKimm spoke of being both humbled and excited about her appointment as the first lay Director. She praised the work of all the Sisters and lay staff who had established such a strong Mercy charism

at St Joseph’s over the past ninety-two years and assured all present that the Mercy traditions and ethos will remain a strong focus for St Joseph’s in the years ahead.

In particular, Sue acknowledged the outstanding work of Sr. Barbara in her ten years as Director. In addition to the extraordinary sense of compassion and caring which she demonstrated, Sr. Barbara has developed dynamic systems of operation, which leave St Joseph’s well placed to face the increasing challenges of child care.

The closure on the 17th May this year of the XPT service

between Casino and Murwillumbah has

caused much disquiet and renewed debates

about transport services on the

Northern Rivers.

Concerned citizens have questioned the decision to replace the rail service with

coaches. Claimed as part of a cost-cutting exercise by the Government, it is not the first time that rail transport has come in for close scrutiny.

In 1903, Joseph Jeremiah Doyle, first Bishop of Lismore, was called to give evidence at a railway proposal hearing conducted by a Government appointed Committee.

In the second half of the 19th Century, debates over matters affecting early settlers on the Northern Rivers district of New South Wales attracted much interest. Often those involved were the grandparents and great-grandparents of people in their fifties or more today. They were not the celebrated pioneers but the ones who took the batten – members of fledgling isolated settlements. The suitable conveyance of such people for their needs as well as for their services or products was essential.

There were strong arguments over various proposals to do with the location and development of coastal ports, roads, and society’s forging newcomer, rail. Local concerns did not exclude wider thinking, for example the idea of linking the Northern Tablelands (from Tenterfield) by rail to Byron Bay. While individuals and pressure groups debated which areas, villages or towns should be connected, and by which means, and for what purpose; one thing emerged that was

to be a leading if not the foremost consideration – closer settlement along the coast and river valleys.

Jeremiah Joseph Doyle, a Catholic priest who had been sent from Armidale in 1877, supported advocates of a line of railway between Lismore and the Tweed, via Byron Bay. An inveterate traveller, Doyle mixed with the farmers and possessed an ‘encyclopaedic’* knowledge of the coast.

On March 26th, 1889, as Bishop of Grafton (later Lismore), Doyle was sworn on oath and questioned by the Commissioners of Public Works, about the proposed railway, “Grafton to the Tweed”. No less than 37 questions were directed to him in what has been described as ‘a searching questionnaire about…. the whole scientific data of the area’.

Bishop Doyle’s ‘concern for his people was undoubtedly for their spiritual well being, but it encompassed their material prosperity as well. He knew from the hardship he had endured, just how difficult life on the rivers was for his Irish-Australians. He spared no effort to make life more tolerable for them, and to promote

the welfare of his adopted country. Hence his involvement in civic affairs.’

B i s h o p Jeremiah Doyle died in Lismore in 1909. ‘None of the three proposed railways e v e n t u a t e d

as Doyle recommended them during his lifetime. His passion was for the line from Lismore to the Tweed, and he worked tirelessly to have its construction approved by the NSW Parliament. Its passage through the various stages is recorded in his 1890 diary: June 19th: First Section of the North Coast railway passed Parliament without division – “Nowhere to Nowhere” I see.

‘Again on July 16, the Bill passed the Assembly, and on September 18 there was a “Great Banquet in Lismore over passage

of N.C. Railway thro’ Parliament. ” ‘The line “Nowhere to Nowhere”

was completed to Murwillumbah in 1894; from Lismore, it was taken to Casino by 1903 and to Grafton, 1905; but not until 1923 was a rail connection established from Sydney to Grafton.’

This is a synopsis of a more detailed account and is largely based on research carried out by Eileen Kelly( Sister Frances Kelly), The Lismore Presentation Congregation. Before her death in 2003, Eileen wrote a biography of Jeremiah Joseph Doyle, and in doing so followed his example by sharing her knowledge ‘freely and generously’.

“Catholic Life”began publication in the

month of October 1945.

The first Editor was Father Thomas Mahon of Wardell. The Co-editor was Very Rev.

Dean V. Ryan, D.D. of Lismore.The paper was due to begin

production before the war prior to 1939. The excessive price and lack of newsprint at that time prevented the first production.

The “Catholic Life” office was was blessed and opened by the then Coadjutor Bishop Dr. P.J. Farrelly on 15th December 1946.

The first issue of the paper was printed at Westmead in Sydney. In March 1947 this changed to production at Richmond River Express at Casino.

At this time the direction of the paper was given to Father W. Nicol and the first editor Father T. Mahon. And the history of “ Catholic Life” continues………
