Parishes across the Archdiocese of Adelaide will come together on September 14 to mark Safeguarding Sunday, a dedicated day to reflect on our shared responsibility to protect children, young people and adults at risk by creating safe, inclusive and respectful Church environments.
The Integrity and Safeguarding Department continues to work closely with parishes and multicultural communities across the Archdiocese of Adelaide to integrate safeguarding into every dimension of parish life.

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.
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.
Christmas is often seen as the most magical, family-orientated time of the year where families revel in the warmth of gatherings and traditions.
