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 facilitator training for the Bunbury Parish Conversations in the Spirit was held in Bunbury on Saturday, with approximately 20 participants attending from across the greater Bunbury area. This gathering marks an important step in preparing our parish communities to engage in Bishop George’s call for a “new conversation” that will help shape the future direction of our Diocese.
Further details regarding the Bunbury Parish Conversations in the Spirit will be shared in the coming weeks. The Parish Pastoral Council warmly encourages all parishioners to take part in this important diocesan journey. Through prayerful listening, reflection and dialogue, the Diocesan Assembly will contribute to the development of a five-year diocesan pastoral plan for our future together as Church.
Congratulations to all young people confirmed in the Spirit by Bishop George this weekend. You are in our thoughts and prayers
Please take the time to read the PPC Minutes to keep up with the work that is done to build a dynamic and faith-filled community. The minutes are available in the cloister and on the parish website.
FAITH EDUCATION
by Sr. Christine Clarke, PBVM
Pentecost – the gift of the Spirit
In the days following the resurrection, the gospels tell us that Jesus returned to his disciples in bodily form. Until the ascension, he was there day after day, opening their minds and hearts, helping them to understand what the Scriptures had said of him. During that time, they experienced his nearness, his presence, his intimacy. They needed to learn what his new presence felt like, how to recognise it, what it meant for them. And before he left them, he said: ‘Know that I am with you, always; yes, to the end of time’ (Matt. 28:20).
The presence of the Spirit, one with God in essence, is real and undeniable, but not actually visible, audible or tangible. We sense that presence in moments of deep grief and intense joy, as too in moments of questioning and bewilderment. God’s love for us is unconditional, but we do not have to accept it. If we invite the Spirit into our lives, we receive the seven gifts when they are needed, and they give us the confidence to walk in love along the road of life. The Spirit’s role is to comfort and enliven, to challenge and disturb; our part is to listen and respond, to allow the breath of the Spirit to transform us.
On the feast of Pentecost, we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit into our everyday lives, helping us in our weakness, calling us on to good, revealing to us the daily miracles of creation.
