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
As members of the Parish Pastoral Council, we thank all parishioners for their continued commitment to the life and mission of our Bunbury Parish. Through prayer, worship, service, and fellowship, we continue to grow as a community of faith, seeking to respond to the call of Christ in our daily lives. The Council remains committed to supporting the pastoral needs of our parish and working collaboratively with our clergy and parish groups to strengthen our mission of proclaiming the Gospel.
Thank you to those who prepared and celebrated Father Nathan’s arrival to the Bunbury Parish last weekend. Gathering together in this way builds connection and strengthens relationships.
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.

The Letter to the Romans
We will be hearing from Paul’s letter to the believers in Rome for a good few weeks, so it might be helpful to look at the overall theme. It is about being a Christian, but can be difficult to understand. Many regard it as his most important letter. He explains how God has a plan to save all people from sin and death, and that God has sent Jesus to save everyone.
Paul addresses some important questions of life and faith, and the message is simple: we are justified - made right with God – by faith in Jesus Christ.
Paul’s aim is to explain his understanding of salvation and faith. In the very first chapter he writes, ‘…the gospel (the good news about Jesus) is the power of God for salvation to everyone who has faith’ (v 16).
The letter has many wonderfully comforting words. It tells us that when we don’t know how to pray, God prays for us ‘with sighs too deep for words’ (8:26). And that ‘all things work together for good for those who love God’ (v 28). And it asks, ‘If God is for us, who can be against us?’ (v 31).
As we hear the words of this letter in the coming weeks, let’s try to let go of our fears. Even though we are not perfect, God will never leave us. Paul writes, ‘I am convinced that neither death, nor life … nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord” (v 38-39).
