Our Mission
Our Mission is to continue growing as a community where people can meet Jesus Christ and grow in his life and mission in the Catholic Faith.
The spirituality our parish mission is expressed best in the parish prayer of St Therese of Avila.
Christ has no body on earth but yours;
no hands but yours;
no feet but yours.
Yours are the eyes through which he is to look out-
Christ's compassion to the world.
Yours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good.
Yours are the hands with which he is to bless others now.
OUR VISION
To be a Parish that is open and transparent, nurturing, united and inclusive.
To be a community that is welcoming, embracing and caring for families, youth and valuing cultural diversity.
To be a Parish that brings those who do not know Christ into relationship with him.

SAFEGUARDING OFFICERS
The PPC would like to warmly welcome Father Nathan to our team. We look forward to working closely with our Parish Priests to fulfil our parish pastoral plan. We also pray for Simon Jones, and the success of his role as short term Principal at Warlawurru Catholic School Red Hill until the end of this term.
Wednesday night’s PPC meeting was a wonderful opportunity to hold the Bunbury parish’s first Conversation in the Spirit. It was a grace filled time where those in attendance were able to pray together, ponder “What God is asking of our Church today?” and share the Spirit’s message for the group. I take this opportunity to thank the members of the PPC for their generous participation. I look forward to this weekend’s conversations and the group summaries that will form the basis of our parish report. Please consider attending one of the six opportunities to have your voice heard and be an invaluable part of the new conversation.
Feel free to talk to any of these officers about any queries/concerns that you may have about the safeguarding of children or the vulnerable in our parish.

Ordinary Time 2026
After the preparation time of Lent and the celebratory season of Easter, followed by the two special feasts of the Trinity and Corpus Christi, we come again to Ordinary Time. The phrase names the time outside Advent-Christmas and Lent-Easter. In liturgy there are special and ordinary times, so we have preparation times of Advent and Lent, and the celebration times of Christmas and Easter.
The season of Ordinary Time will take us to almost the end of the year. After hearing from the Acts of the Apostles and the Gospel of John for the Easter season, we now go back to the gospel for this year, Year A, Matthew. The First Reading is chosen to fit with the gospel, and during Ordinary Time the First Reading is always from the Old Testament. The Psalm is usually connected to the first reading and can act as a connector to the gospel. The Second Reading is taken from one of the early Christian letters, usually from St Paul. It very seldom connects to the other readings.
This year, Year A, is the Year of Matthew. Jesus is presented as the one who preaches and inaugurated the Kingdom of God.
As we enter Ordinary Time again, we resume the gospel of Matthew at Ch 9, and will read sequentially through this gospel until Advent.
The First Reading will be chosen from a variety of OT books to fit with the gospel, while for the next 14 Sundays we will hear from the Letter to the Romans.
