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.

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
Scripture is intended to speak to believers ‘in every age,’ says Pope Leo XIV
Continuing his catechesis series on Vatican II, Pope Leo XIV said the Bible is not a relic of the past, but a living dialogue meant to lead people to know and love God.
In the Vatican 2 document Dei Verbum, “the words of God, expressed in human language, have been made like human discourse, just as the word of the eternal Father, when he took to himself the flesh of human weakness, was in every way made like humans.”
It is important to note, Pope Leo said, that while God is the principal author of Scripture, human beings were also “true authors,” not simply passive “scribes” sharing God’s words.
“While Scripture is a text rooted in historical truth, it also contains a limitless spiritual depth that speaks to people of all times and places, communicating above all God’s love and his desire to save us,” he continued.
“God in his goodness ensures our lives do not lack the essential nourishment of his word, and let us pray that our words, and even more so our lives, do not obscure the love of God that is narrated in them.”
When scripture loses touch with reality, with human hopes and sufferings, or is proclaimed in language that is incomprehensible, uncommunicative or anachronistic, it becomes ineffective.
“In every age, the Church is called to re-propose the Word of God in a language capable of being embodied in history and reaching hearts,” he added.
