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.

by Helen Brown, Chairperson - Parish Pastoral Council
The Bunbury Parish Pastoral Council extends their heartfelt thanks to all parishioners and visitors who gathered to celebrate the Eucharist on Australia Day. It was a grace-filled occasion to come together in prayer and thanksgiving with Bishop George, Bishop Emeritus Gerard, Father Pierre, Father Joel and Father Edcel.
Australia Day provides us with the opportunity to pause and give thanks for the many blessings we receive by living in this Great South Land. In the Eucharist, we offered gratitude for the freedoms we enjoy, the diversity of our people, and the beauty of the land entrusted to our care. We also placed before God our hopes and concerns, asking for continued grace for all who call Australia home.
Our collective prayer was for peace – not merely the absence of conflict, but a peace that begins with right relationship. A peace grounded in our relationship with God, lived out in compassion and justice with others, and expressed through respect and care for the land beneath our feet.
May the fruits of this and all our celebrations continue to shape our lives beyond the liturgy, inspiring us to be people of gratitude, reconciliation and hope. As we move forward, may we remain attentive to the Spirit’s call, working together to build a community where peace, faith and love can truly flourish.
On behalf of the Bunbury Parish Pastoral Council
FAITH EDUCATION
by Sr. Christine Clarke, PBVM
Year A - THE YEAR OF MATTHEW
The gospel for this liturgical year is Matthew. It includes information about Jesus that is not given by the other evangelists: two chapters of infancy narratives and five “Great Sermons” of Jesus.
The writer was most likely a Jewish Christian, providing consolation to those wrestling with the problem of reconciling their Jewish heritage with their belief in Jesus as the Messiah. So, the Gospel begins with a genealogy filled with Jewish ancestors and it contains numerous quotes from the Old Testament. It was likely placed first in the New Testament because of its connection to the Old Testament.
A striking feature of Matthew’s Gospel is its clear six-part structure. The first section serves as an introduction and contains the stories of the annunciation (to Joseph, not to Mary as in Luke), of Jesus’ birth, and of the visit of the magi (not the shepherds as in Luke). The remaining five parts each consist of a long speech by Jesus followed by a description of actions that he performed. The first is the Sermon on the Mount (ch 5 – 7), the second shows the disciples being prepared for their missionary journeys (ch 10), the third is filled with parables (ch 13), the fourth deals with church matters (ch 18), and the last section concerns the end times (ch 24 and 25).
This gospel emphasises the incarnation and the humanity of Christ.
