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.
Our Parish joyfully joins the wider Diocese of Bunbury in welcoming the Migrant Jubilee Cross, a powerful symbol of faith, unity, and pilgrimage. This sacred cross, containing relics of the Holy Family and St Mary of the Cross MacKillop, was received this week at St Patrick’s Cathedral by Fr Pierre Repuyan and parishioners.
The Migrant Jubilee Cross will journey across Australia, travelling to 28 dioceses and four eparchies, calling communities into prayer, reflection, and solidarity with all who journey in hope. We warmly encourage parishioners to participate in this pilgrimage whenever possible, embracing this unique opportunity for spiritual renewal and connection.
As we prepare for our Diocesan Assembly in August, we also invite those who feel called to serve in a special way to consider becoming a Bunbury Parish Conversation Facilitator. If you are interested in supporting the listening and discernment process, please express your willingness to Father Pierre or email ppc.chair@bunburyparish.org; ppc.secretary@bunburyparish.org. Successful parishioners will be informed shortly and information re the training day advertised.
Finally, we give heartfelt thanks to all within our parish who serve their brothers and sisters through the many ministries and groups. Your generous sharing of time and talents brings life, vitality, and love to our community. Without you, our Parish would indeed be lifeless, stagnant and unwelcoming.

FAITH EDUCATION

St Joseph the Worker - celebrated 1 May last week
By Sr. Christine Clarke, PBVM
The Gospels tell us that Joseph was a skilled craftsman, a carpenter. In a small village, this trade would have brought in enough to support a modest but stable household. Near Nazareth, the city of Sepphoris was being developed by Herod Antipas during Jesus’ early years. Joseph, as a tradesman, may ha ve worked there or supplied some of his carpentry work to support the building efforts.
St Joseph is a striking figure in the Gospels: he never speaks. He shows us that holiness is lived, not spoken! And yet, his life is full of decisive action. He receives four dreams: first, to take Mary as his wife; then to flee with the child Jesus into Egypt; later to return to Israel; and finally to settle in Nazareth for safety. Each time, he responds immediately, no hesitation, no argument, just quiet obedience to God. He becomes the guardian of the Holy Family, protecting them in moments of real danger. He is called a “just man”. God often works through those who are quiet, but listen deeply... and then act.
Pope Pius XII instituted the feast of Saint Joseph the Worker in 1955. The dignity of human work has long been celebrated as a participation in the creative work of God. By work, humankind both fulfills the command found in Genesis to care for the earth (Gen 2:15) and to be productive in their labours.
