A Time of Grace: Reflections on My Pastoral Placement in Busselton
Seminarian Marcelino L. Severino III As a seminarian for the Diocese of Bunbury, my pastoral placement in Busselton has been far more than an assignment—it has been a profound experience of grace, growth, and encounter. I arrived with a mixture of anticipation and uncertainty, ready to serve God's people. Yet before I could offer anything of myself, I was first welcomed, received, and embraced by the parish community. What began as a placement soon became an experience of bel

Please Observe Silence
Respecful Preparation: Arriving early and remaining quiet before the mass starts allows everyone to transit from the noise of daily life into an encounter with God. Shared silence unites the congregation in a collective pause, preventing the church from becoming a social hall or distracting environment. Let us observe silence and spend time in prayer preparation as we celebrate the Holy Mass.

Grounded in our faith, we are committed to safeguarding everyone involved in our activities, ministries and services, and to upholding the highest moral, legal and ethical standard in creating a community where harm is neither ignored nor tolerated ~ The Most Reverend George Kolodziej SDS DD~Bishop of Bunbury
SAFEGUARDING PRAYER
Gracious God Help us to learn from Jesus. How to love, nurture and keep our children and vulnerable adults safe in a welcoming and empowering environment. Help us to seek healing for those who have been harmed and pray for justice for all.

St Joseph, Protector of the Church, Pray for us Holy Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us Amen
