No line like David’s for Rabbi and Priest

Night under lights for Lumen belles and beaus

Lumen Christi's year 12 belle's and beau's shine at their ball The Year 12s of Lumen Christi looked every bit the part at their Year 12 Ball, held on Wednesday, April 11, at the Esplanade Hotel in Fremantle.

The day The West helped torpedo a future for women

If The Record – or any other newspaper – were to publish an editorial asserting that the problem of methamphetamine production in suburban drug laboratories was obviously impossible to stamp out and that the best course of action to handle this pernicious problem would be to legalise drug production in contained areas for later sale in the nightclubs of Northbridge, people would think this we...

If Fr Sean Fernandez had brought a ticket to the Pell-Dawkins debate, he would have asked for his money back. There was a great deal about ABC’s Q&A  of April 9 with which one could be disappointed. In increasing gravity, one could be disappointed with the ill-mannered man who addressed the Cardinal as ‘George’; but perhaps he had not been taught manners. One could be disappointed ...

The altar of instant communication

Have we sacrificed once traditional courtesies at this altar, asks Fr David Watt, and if so, is Satan involved? Have you ever been with someone and had your conversation interrupted by a phone call?

Catholic family’s life opened door for me to enter Church

Nuong Nguyen recalls the difference people she met made in her journey. I was a Buddhist by default. In Vietnam when you are not baptised you are automatically considered a Buddhist. I grew up in an environment where there was superstition and I was not happy with it. I looked for meaning in philosophy.

Risen: This season is a time for hope

As we celebrate Easter, we can all look forward to receiving Christ’s Spirit, enabling us to draw on his courage, his fidelity and his commitment in the events of our daily lives, writes Archbishop Timothy Costelloe SDB.
