Welome to The Missionaries’s Graves  

The remains of Bishop Brady are now in St Mary’s Cathedral Crypt along with all the former prelates of Perth excluding Archbishop Patrick Clune CsSR – the fourth Bishop of Perth (1911-13) and first Archbishop of Perth (1913-35) – who is buried in Karrakatta.   

Bishop John Brady, the founding Bishop of Perth, was finally laid to rest in the diocese he created in St Mary’s Cathedral crypt on 2 August with a Mass and Reinterment Ceremony. Bishop Brady’s remains were concelebrated by the Archdiocese of Perth The Sisters of Mercy and the Benedictine monks also attended the event. 

Their presence in Perth is thanks to Bishop Brady’s missionary zeal: the Sisters of Mercy and some Spanish Benedictines who were living in Italy in the mid-1840s were among the band of 27 missionaries Bishop Brady brought to Perth in 1846.
