BUNBURY CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL PARISH

As a Parish Pastoral Council, we join together in heartfelt sorrow at the passing of Adrian Seale, Treasurer and long-time member of the Parish Finance Committee. Adrian served our parish community with humility and dedication. He was a man of deep faith and a true servant of God, generously sharing his gifts in service to the Church and the people of Bunbury. We extend our deepest sympathy and prayers to Lesley, his beloved wife of 39 years; his children Matt, Brad, Ryan, Cam, Josh, Amy and Liam; his grandchildren; and all members of his extended family. May they find comfort in God's love and the support of our parish community at this difficult time. May Adrian rest peacefully in the loving arms of our Lord.

 

Let us continue to pray for Pope Leo, asking the Lord to bless him with improving good health, peace and strength as he leads the universal Church.

 

Finally, we encourage all parishioners to consider the many ways they can become more actively involved in our faith community. There are opportunities to share your gifts through the stewardship pillars of Worship, Formation, Outreach and Hospitality. If you feel called to help, please contact the Parish Office and we will connect you with the appropriate ministry or group.

 

May God bless you and your families.

Making a difference in the lives of young people in our local schools

The Bunbury Parish is seeking parishioners who are passionate about supporting young people and strengthening connections between our Church and the wider community to join the Bunbury YouthCare Committee.

​

What is YouthCare?

YouthCare provides chaplaincy and wellbeing support to students, families and staff in Western Australian government schools. YouthCare Chaplains offer a caring presence within schools, supporting young people through challenges such as friendships, family difficulties, grief, mental health concerns, resilience building and personal wellbeing. They work alongside school staff to foster safe, supportive and inclusive school communities.

Through YouthCare, our parish has the opportunity to make a tangible difference in the lives of children and young people in local state schools by supporting this valuable ministry of care.

​

What does the Committee do?

​

The Bunbury YouthCare Committee:

1. Promotes awareness of YouthCare within the parish and broader community.

2. Supports fundraising and advocacy initiatives.

3. Encourages prayer and community support for chaplains and the schools they serve.

4. Acts as a link between the parish, YouthCare and local schools.

5. Helps ensure the ongoing presence of chaplaincy services in our region.

You do not need any special expertise, only a willingness to contribute your time, ideas and enthusiasm to support young people in our community.

If you are interested in joining the Bunbury YouthCare Committee or would like to know more, please contact Father Pierre, Helen Brown (ppc.chair@bunburyparish.org.au) or the Parish Office( 9721 2141)
