PARISH GROUP

A message from Bishop Seamus
Hegarty – The safe-guarding of children
is at the very heart of the Church’s activity.
The relationship between Jesus and children
was one which valued them and nurtured them.
The example of Jesus is, of course, always our
standard. In your parish many people work together
to safe-guard children taking part in church
activities. Your Parish Representatives for
Child Protection are key to this. Along with
all who work with children in the parish community,
best practice in child safeguarding is our goal.
As part of best practice, it
is important that each parish fulfil the POCVA
requirements of civil law in Northern Ireland.
This is the vetting process for all who work
with children, whether as employees of the parish
or as volunteers. I would ask everyone to cooperate
in vetting, both those who are new recruits
to parish activities with children, and those
who have generously done so for many years.
Child safe-guarding is part of our Christian
calling. I thank all of you, who are engaged
wih children in this parish, for the wonderful
work you do, building up the Kingdom of God
among the next generation of young Catholics.
