ChurchhistoryforCatholicsinWesternAustralia beganin1845whenthe wholeColonyofW.A.becamethedioceseofPerth. Previoustothattheoccasionalpriestwhovisited PerthwasunderthejurisdictionoftheArchbishop ofSydney.

HobartandAdelaidehad beenmadeEpiscopalSees in1842.AfterPerth,Melbournefollowedin1848and Brisbanein1859.Allthe otherruraldioceseshave followedatintervalssince, Wollongongbeingerectedin 1951,thelatestbeforethe presentnewSeeofBunbury.Perthwaselevatedtothe rankofArchdiocesein1913 andwiththelatestdivision hasaterritoryofabout 138,000squaremiles.New Norcia,firstestablishedas aNativeMissionbyDom RudesindusSalvado,O.S.B., in1846,becameanIndependentAbbeyin1867with aterritoryof16square miles;thiswaslaterincreasedsothatthediocese ofNewNorciatodaycomprisessome30,000square milesofterritory.

Themissionarydistrictof theKimberleyswasestablishedin1887withheadquartersatBroomeandthe Bishoptheregoverns120,000 squaremilesofthefar NorthWest.

ThedioceseofGeraldton wascutofffromPerthin 1898andisthemostextensivedioceseinAustralia. comprisingover600,000 squaremiles.

ThedioceseofBunbury iscomparativelysmall,between71and72thousand squaremiles.

Ittakesin alltheSouth-Westandthe GreatSouthernfromNarroginsouthwardtoAlbany, alsoeastwardsembracing SalmonGumsandEsperanceuntilitreachesthe SouthernOceanonthe GreatAustralianBight.

Withtheexceptionofthe parishofPinjarra,which remainswithPerth,the DioceseofBunburywill consistofthetwoformer RuralDeaneriesofBunbury andAlbanyandcomprises, roughly,allofWesternAustraliasouthofalinedrawn westtoeastpassingnorth ofWaroona,southofPingelly,north'ofWickepin,

Thedevelopmentofthis south-westerncornerof W.A.hasrecentlybeen verygreat.Withthenaturaladvantagesof climate,fertilityandrainfallitwouldseemthatonly aninternationalcatastrophe couldpreventtheSouthWestfrombecoming,sooner orlater,oneofthemost highlydevelopedandthicklypopulatedareasofthe wholeCommonwealth.

MostRev.P.T.B.McKeefry,ArchbishopofWellingtonandMetropolitanof NewZealand,hasmadea statementaboutRoman CatholicclaimsforState aidtoChurchschoolswhich demandsattention.

"Wearetiredofbeing fobbedoff,"sayshisGrace, "andIsaythat,should anotherwarcome,andifit hastobefoughtoverseas, then-mythoughtatthe momentis-Iwouldfeel inclinedtocallonourown mentostayathomewhile thosewhodenyusjustice herecandothefighting overseas."
