Message from Bishop Deenihan on Safeguarding Sunday!
“Create a culture of welcome in our parishes for the involvement of our young people”. The past nineteen months have been difficult for everyone. The Church has also experienced the isolation and disconnection that has characterised the pandemic. The experience of broadcast liturgies without a congregation is an experience that we do not wish to return to and highlighted the importance of participation by the community, the body of Christ. Thankfully, over the last few weeks and again this month, we are seeing an easing of restrictions and a consequent return to ‘normality’. As the past year and a half has seen the disappearance of participation by readers, choirs and servers, as restrictions disappear, it is vital that different ministries are exercised, parishioners of all age groups return to worship and our parishes are seen as places of welcome and participation. One of the more unfortunate consequences of the pandemic was the disappearance of young people from participation in our liturgies, be it as servers, readers or choir members. We now have an opportunity to restore that participation and adherence to safeguarding procedures provides the confidence and reassurance to do that. I want to thank all those who are involved in safeguarding in our parishes and in our diocese. You provide the means through which our young people can be involved and you give confidence to all of us. At this time of return, your role is more important than ever. As we celebrate Safeguarding Sunday, let us commit ourselves once again to following safeguarding procedures and creating a culture of welcome in our parishes for the involvement of our young people.
