Safeguarding Sunday

An awareness-raising campaign organised by Christian Safeguarding Charity Thirtyone:eight. We will be marking this in our parish at the Masses on the weekend of 18th/19th November and 2/3^rd  December. Please see Safeguarding literature in the side porch.

In doing this we will be joining thousands of other churches across the UK to share this message and demonstrate unity. We believe that safeguarding is an outworking of our faith in a loving and just God – the God who calls us to speak up on behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves and to defend the rights of the vulnerable (Proverbs 31:8). Please join us in praying for all those who work to ensure our communities and churches are safe for all. The link to Safeguarding on the Archdiocesan website is
