Important safeguarding notice
Following a meeting of the safeguarding team the items listed below have been highlighted as a matter of extreme importance and must be noted and acted upon by everyone.
- Under NO circumstances should a child be allowed to go to the toilets in the church hall during Holy Mass without AN ADULT accompanying them.
- NO child should be left unaccompanied at any time in the churchyard or the roadway at the front of the church hall. Children should not play at the front of the church hall on the steps, without an adult supervising them.
- Unless the green fence is in place and there are two volunteers in high visibility vests then the church hall field is to be regarded as ‘OUT OF BOUNDS’ to everyone.
Thank you very much for your cooperation.
Father Armand de Malleray, Chaplain,
and William Currie, Safeguarding Officer
All Saints hall play area: For want of volunteers the field by the river is out of bounds this Sunday. Contact us to volunteer, and give our children a safe opportunity to play outdoors in this lovely weather.
Thank you to over twenty-six adults who adored
on Wednesday 2nd July until dawn of Thu 3rd July
in reparation and intercession for the legalised killing of our more vulnerable human brethren, sick and elderly people, as well as unborn persons up to natural birth. On the feast of the Visitation, the most pro-life mystery of the Christian faith when two pregnant mothers embrace, prompted by divine love and their two unborn children, those members of our congregation chose to spend one hour in Eucharistic adoration to intercede for our vulnerable brethren and to beg of God the return of our dear country to natural and divine laws. Some of us spent several hours, indeed, even the entire night in prayer. God will reward them.
