Second
Sunday of Lent
CHILD PROTECTION AND PARISH WORKERS
The Catholic Church
throughout Ireland has put together
new guidelines for safeguarding children
and vulnerable adults.
Within the Diocese
of Down and Connor we are intent on
implementing these guidelines to the
full. Consequently it is now a requirement
that all invited volunteers are required
to attend a parish information session
at which awareness of Child Protection
issues will be raised. Invited volunteers
who fail to attend the Parish Information
Session must stand down from their
parish duties (as they are not covered
by Diocesan insurance) until they
have attended a session. As your ongoing
contribution to parish work is highly
appreciated and greatly valued, I
hope you will make every effort to
attend a session when invited.

The Garment of Suffering
During
Lent we ask that you bring to the
church a piece of cloth about four
to six inches square and leave it
in the basket in the middle of the
church.
Your
piece of cloth can represent the pain,
grief or hurt in your life
The pieces of cloth will be collected
and sewn together into one complete
garment. On Good Friday after the
Veneration of the Cross the garment
will be draped over the Cross and
left there throughout Easter.
At Pentecost the garment will be removed
and burnt.
During Lent and Easter, we will pray
to be healed.
