As we mark our annual, Safeguarding Sunday, we are reminded of the importance of ensuring that relationships within our Church continues to express respect for children and young people who are so precious in God’s sight.

For nearly two years we have been safeguarding in different ways due to Covid-19. In February 2021, we were delighted to welcome a newly appointed Safeguarding Committee which includes lay personnel from teaching and policing backgrounds, parents, volunteer safeguarding representativies and friars.

Welcome to the Franciscan Safeguarding Message for November 2020

I am an ordinary person with an extra-ordinary God who loves, understands and walks with me on my life's journey of healing even though for years I found it hard to trust Him and was very angry and confused.
