Safeguarding in our parishes

Over the past few weeks, training and safeguarding officers from the Integrity and Safeguarding Department have been busy visiting several parishes and multicultural Catholic communities to introduce the new-look Safe Environments For All (SEFA). This is a framework to guide parishes and communities to embed a culture of safeguarding across all aspects of the parish and community.

Walking together in unity

In March this year, communities across Australia came together to mark Harmony Week; a celebration of the cultures, languages and traditions that make our nation so vibrant. It was a time to honour our differences, recognise the strength in our diversity and reflect on how we build a society where everyone feels they belong.
