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.
2025 JUBILEE PRAYER
​
Father in heaven, may the faith you have given us in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother, and the flame of charity enkindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, reawaken in us the blessed hope for the coming of your Kingdom.
May your grace transform us into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel. May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos in the sure expectation of a new heaven and a new earth, when, with the powers of evil vanquished, your glory will shine eternally.
May the grace of the Jubilee reawaken in us,
Pilgrims of Hope, a yearning for the treasures of heaven.
May that same grace spread the joy and peace of our
Redeemer throughout the earth. To you our God, eternally blessed, be glory and praise for ever. Amen.

SAFEGUARDING OFFICERS
FAITH EDUCATION
by Sr. Christine Clarke, PBVM
The PPC continues to work on the Parish Pastoral Plan and looks forward to sharing this with parishioners in the near future. We have used three data sources to help guide our planning – the parish survey, the Synodal Consultation: and the January-February 2022 Bunbury Parish Profile (National Centre for Pastoral Research).
As mentioned, in previous PPC Posts, we will be using the As One Voice book and the blue hymnal for Masses. This means that hymn sheets will no longer be provided for Masses. Please make sure you take one of each book when you arrive, so that you can give praise through singing. We hope that this will encourage joyful and conscious participation in liturgies.
The PPC expresses its heartfelt sympathy to those who mourn the loss of Pope Francis. Pope Francis showed us how to care for the poor, to speak for the voiceless, to protect creation, and to live out the Gospel with joy and humility. His papacy was a beacon of mercy, especially to the young, the sick, and those most in need of love and truth. Let us stand as one and live with love, mercy and compassion in our 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.

Understanding the Risen Jesus
In the gospel today there is a strange comment: ‘None of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” because they knew it was the Lord.’
The Risen Jesus does not look as he used to look. Jesus now is to be found and recognised in the poor, the exploited, the handicapped, the weak, the uneducated, the stranger and the foreigner. Christianity must never become a religion of insiders because it is precisely in the outsider that Jesus is to be found.
Like the disciples, we need to recognise him, not just at times of special spiritual experiences, but in the mundane moments of daily work. In this we are being one with all creation, which by its very existence, is a hymn to the Creator in today’s Second Reading:
‘ … every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea and all that is in them, singing, “To the one seated on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!”
As well as, in our own lives, being aware of God’s presence among us, we need to make it a genuine experience for those around us.
The disciples could not simply stay in the upper room knowing that Jesus, their Lord and friend, was risen. Their encounter on the lakeside made them realise that they could no longer go back to their boats and live for themselves. And, because of them, the message of Christ, the message of Truth and Love, lives on.
