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 warmly invites all parishioners to keep in your prayers the children preparing to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation in the coming weeks. We remember especially the candidates from St Joseph’s Catholic Primary, St Mary’s Catholic Primary, and those participating in our after-school sacramental program.
As these young people prepare to be strengthened by the gifts of the Holy Spirit, we ask you to support them, their families, and their teachers with your prayerful encouragement. May the forthcoming Confirmation Masses be a joyful celebration of faith for our whole parish community.
Let us hold them close in prayer as they take this important step in their faith journey.
As a prayer community, we acknowledge Father Edcel Silva and Father Jayan Johnson and their selfless ministry, bringing the love of God to all. Thank you for being our spiritual guides. We welcome Father Nathan Barrie home and look forward to sharing our mission to be the hands, feet and heart to the world.

Reflecting on the Ascension
The Ascension is part of the Paschal Mystery, which has four interrelated parts: suffering and death; resurrection; ascension; and the sending of the Spirit. If the Resurrection says that the crucified Jesus is alive, the Ascension says that the living Jesus has entered into glory. This is expressed in many different ways in our Christian (New) Testament - three of these viewpoints/understandings are in each of today’s readings.
Basically the meaning of the Ascension is that Jesus, our triumphant Messiah-King, reigns in glory over all creation – Ephesians reading.
In Acts we see the apostles come to understand themselves as the agents, not of restoring the Kingdom of Israel, but much more importantly, helping to establish the Kingship of God all over the world.
The gospel is set in Galilee, for it is in the familiarity of home, not up in the skies, that Jesus is to be found.
Jesus gives the command to “make disciples” of people everywhere. He is passing on much of his own authority to his disciples. Pentecost will be the confirmation of this. They are to do what he did. The community is to be a living and credible witness of Jesus and his gospel.
The gospel says ‘… I am with you always…’ a reminder of the promise made at the beginning of Matthew’s Gospel, and later when Jesus says: ‘…where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them. (Matt 18:20).
Today’s feast is a celebration of Jesus’ glory after his suffering and death—a glory in which we also hope to share.
