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
At the upcoming PPC meeting on 22 July the Council will consider the following questions to assess the efficacy of having Mass commentaries.
1. What is the purpose of a commentator and the place commentary has in the celebration of the Eucharist?
2. Is it helping our parish to foster an inclusive, welcoming and joyful community?
3. Are certain elements helpful in promoting the centrality of the Eucharist?
We have already received some feedback during the trial period. If you wish to provide feedback, please emailppc.chair@bunburyparish.org
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.

St Benedict Monastic Founder Feast day 11 July
​
Born 2 March 480 – died 21 March 547, Benedict was an Italian monk who founded the Order of Saint Benedict. He was the son of a Roman noble of Nursia , in Umbria, sent to Rome to study but was disappointed by the academic experience.
He went to live in a cave near Subiaco. It was set in a steep mountain; high above the blue waters of a lake. Benedict lived as a hermit for three years in this cave above the lake. During these three years of solitude, Benedict matured in mind and character, in knowledge of himself and of his fellow-man and gained the respect of those about him.
One of many miracles associated with him happened when he was in danger of eating poisoned bread. A raven swept in and took the loaf away. Many people were attracted by his sanctity and character and came to Subiaco to be under his guidance.
He founded 12 monasteries around Subiaco, and, eventually, in 530 he founded the great Benedictine monastery of Monte Cassino, between Rome and Naples. Benedict died there of a fever in 547.
Benedict wrote the Rule for monks living communally under the authority of an abbot. It defines how to live a Christ-centered life on earth, and how to run a monastery efficiently. It describes how to be obedient and humble, and what to do when a member of the community is not.
The Benedictine monastery at New Norcia in WA is part of the worldwide Benedictine association.
