Elizabeth Tame passed away last 27th of June. Her Funeral will held at Barrett's Chapel. Our thoughts are with the families and we pray that Elizabeth's Souls and the Souls of all the Faithful departed, rest in the peace of Christ. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace."

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.

We wish all our St. Mary MacKillop students, teachers and staff a well deserve winter holiday.

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.
