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 is more than a place we attend each week—it is a living community, formed by relationships, faith, and a shared call to love as Christ loves. Each time we gather, we bring with us our joys and challenges, our gifts and vulnerabilities, trusting that God meets us exactly as we are.
Hospitality is not simply about a warm greeting as we enter the Cathedral or a cup of tea after Mass, though these are important. True hospitality begins in the heart. It is expressed when we make space for one another, listen with compassion, and recognise the dignity of every person who walks through our doors. When we welcome others genuinely, we reflect God’s boundless love and help build a parish where all feel seen, valued, and included.
Our parish continues to grow through the quiet generosity of parishioners who give their time, talents, and presence in service to others. Whether through prayer, volunteering, reaching out to someone in need, or offering a kind word, each action strengthens our community and brings the Gospel to life.
May we continue to be a parish that walks together—supporting one another in faith and responding with openness to God’s call. May we be attentive to those around us, especially those who may feel on the margins, and may our parish always be a place where hearts are lifted, hope is renewed, and Christ’s love is made visible.
(Helen Brown, Parish Pastoral Council Chairperson)
FAITH EDUCATION
by Sr. Christine Clarke, PBVM
The Sadness of War
The suffering caused by death in battle, which we remember each year on Anzac Day, was multiplied by the grief of all the others whose lives were devastated as a result. It includes those who fought, were injured and forever scarred by the war. It includes their parents, brothers and sisters, and the small towns which lost their young men.
This year we see suffering in places like Kiev, Gaza, Iran, Lebanon and African nations such as Sudan, Somalia and Ethiopia. Such wars show how we humans fail to meet the challenges to our humanity. Wars that were supposed to make a region safer leave them bitterly divided and facing a more difficult future. Above all, solidarity based on a common humanity is lacking, and pushes a subservience based on power.
Our celebration of Anzac Day this year must forsake any glorification of the day. There were acts of generosity and bravery displayed in battle then, as always. We need to grieve the lives lost and forever shadowed in war, thank those who served, and recall the endurance and domestic virtues displayed by so many in the aftermath of war.
As we commemorate Anzac Day, we look to the future. We join with Pope Leo and commit ourselves to a future in which we turn from wars, share burdens, give priority to the most disadvantaged, and shape a more just society.
