As a mother and a parishioner, I wish for my children to be safe and protected in our community and to feel the church is a safe haven. Not only that, I wish that they also experience whatever the Catholic community can offer them including faith, teachings, the opportunity to be part of an extended family, to get involved and to learn that with faith comes friendship, fun and community spirit.
Church is not only about coming together on a Sunday to worship God, but also to experience God in many ways throughout the week. This week, let us all as a parish take time to protect, guide, mentor and teach our young people what being part of a caring active parish can mean as they are the future of the church Fiona Eastgate - Local Safeguarding Representative:
