Diocesan Youth Ministry Office - Catholic Diocese of Bunbury Our Vision
Loving young people and forming Christ within to transform the world. To empower all young people to live as disciples of Christ.

Catholic Youth Ministry seeks to engage with young people from across the Bunbury Diocese, connecting them with one another and offering opportunities to grow in faith together. Our Mission
To demonstrate and grow excellent ministry to young people by providing spiritual, creative, leadership and administrative support to the Church. The Diocesan Youth Ministry Office (DYMO) was established by Bishop Gerard Holohan in 2015 order to create and improve ministry to young people throughout the Catholic Diocese of Bunbury. DYMO works in youth ministry on both a Parish and Diocesan level. The office consists of a Diocesan Youth Ministry Coordinator as well as a range of hardworking and committed youth ministry volunteers. Our Logo was chosen from a range of entries into our Logo Competition. This logo was made by Luke Garbin, you can read his explanation of the different parts below! The logo is a stylised text which represents the letters DYMO representing the acronym for the Diocesan Youth Ministry Office. The letter D Incorporates the Bishop’s mitre in the lower left corner, the road way is symbolic of country towns of the Diocese and of journeying. The letter Y form is taken from a chalice with the symbols of grapes and wheat representing farming communities and the Eucharist. The letter “M” is formed by two sails representing the coastal towns of the Diocese. The letter “O” has fire indicating the role of the Holy Spirit in forming the young people of the Diocese.

A place of warmth, a place of consolation
“Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” - Matthew 11:28

Retreat with us.

We invite young adults to take a step back from the “busyness” of the day to day.
Spend some time in reflection, in quiet, in calm and in real connection with others.
Spend time in prayer and spend time with Jesus.

This retreat seeks to deepen the spirituality of young adults through talks, guided prayers and reflections, silent time, discussions, conversations and activities.
All food and materials are provided in registration costs. Retreat will begin on Friday evening and conclude on Sunday. Please note retreatants must be present for the full duration of the retreat. Retreat is open to young adults +18.

Registration closes 17th August 2026.
