It's Pastoral Care Week.

Our hospital is fortunate to have a Pastoral Service team who provide bereavement services and support to families.
On a regular basis a beautiful Remembrance Service takes place in our Chapel to remember the loved ones who have passed and families are invited to attend. This service is very well received by these families who can come together and share a moment to remember their loved ones.
They can also light a candle in memory of their family member.

Lighting of the candles:
Our loved ones live on - they who leave us this great heritage of remembered joy.
They live on in our hearts, in the happiness we knew, in the dreams we shared.
We light these candles as symbols of life and love, hope and healing.

Thanks to these amazing Bunbury caregivers for taking time out from their busy schedules to pause and be photographed together. Their photo was chosen to feature in the 2025 St John of God Foundation Day posters and images 🧡

Thank you Mandy, Emma, Shane, Maddi, Jono, Jith and Lizzie 🙏

Why do we recognise Foundation Day?
On this day in 1871, a group of women in Wexford, Ireland, chose a life of faith, courage and service as the first Sisters of St John of God. This is the date we acknowledge as Foundation Day.

This year also marks 130 years since the Sisters of St John of God arrived in Australia – women who cared with strength, compassion and love and whose spirit continues to inspire us today.
From their early work during the gold rush to building hospitals, schools and services, their legacy grew with the creation of St John of God Health Care in 1989.

Today we pause to honour our beginnings, reflect on the journey that has brought us here, and recognise the vital role our caregivers play in delivering compassionate, committed and connected care to the communities we serve.

With over 16,000 caregivers across 25 hospitals and services, St John of God Health Care provides care to more than 400,000 people each year. Read more here: http://bit.ly/4nA6p3r

Thanks to the support of local organisations and our community, a new project is set to transform the outdoor courtyards of the palliative care ward at St John of God Bunbury Hospital 🌿

Nurse Unit Manager Maeve shared, “If we can bring patients outside - even those who are bedbound - to feel the fresh air and take in a beautiful space, what a difference it makes.”

This heartfelt project is a powerful example of what can be achieved when a community comes together for a meaningful cause.
