Safeguarding
Our Commitment
Safeguarding is not merely a matter of policy; it is a vital expression of our shared Christian calling and mission. As a community of faith, we are guided by the teachings of the Church to protect and stand alongside those who are most in need. This includes the safeguarding of children, young people, and adults at risk from any form of harm, abuse, or neglect. Each person is made in the image and likeness of God, and each deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and compassion. No one should feel unsafe in our parishes, communities, or at any event or activity offered by our Archdiocese.” (Statement from Archbishop John Wilson.
