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
The Parish Pastoral Council extends a heartfelt thank you to the parishioners who attended the Facilitators Training last weekend. Your willingness to give time, prayer and openness to this process is deeply appreciated. We look forward to walking together with all members of the Bunbury Parish as we gather for new conversations grounded in Scripture and guided by the Holy Spirit, strengthening our faith, our community and diocese. Father Joel has been keeping us all up to date with the many faith filled activities and events that occur across our great state. Thank you.
The worship core group will meet this week to collate the responses from the music ministry survey. We look forward to sharing common themes/ideas with you and plan for the future.
Thank you to the many parishioners who gave of the time to complete the attendance count. This task has now been completed
This weekend we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. This day celebrates our belief in one God who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It reminds us that God is a relationship of love, and we are called to share that love with others in our daily lives.
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.

Pope Leo’s prayer intention for May
At first sight, the opening phrase of the prayer intention for this month ‘That everyone might have food’ is so simple and the need for nourishing food is so evident that it hardly needs to be prayed, writes Fr Andrew Hamilton SJ. https://www.pray.com.au/fair-share/
The earth is bountiful enough to provide food for everyone; transport is sufficient to ensure distribution. And yet people, including most unforgivably children, go hungry.
This situation echoes Jesus’ story of the rich man and Lazarus. In it, the rich feed on fine food and wine while Lazarus picks up the scraps. That is echoed uncomfortably in the contrast between people dining on fine foods and wines in restaurants, with emaciated people sleeping in the streets. In Jesus’ story, the fault of the rich man was not failing to feed Lazarus but failing to notice him as a human being like himself.
The need to notice lies at the heart of Pope Leo’s intention. To feed the hungry in any society requires more than a technical solution. It demands the conversion of heart needed to make this happen.
That, in turn, demands conversion of the eyes so that they notice the people who are hungry. The habit of noticing, being moved by, and staying with people who go hungry lies at the heart of prayer. It requires that we notice the needs of our brothers and sisters, and have the courage to remedy what we see.
