EVANGELISATION: Orlagh Meeting. Words from the Provincial… At our Chapter there was much consideration of the theme of Evangelisation....
More Infos"Love, before all else, is practiced there (in the monastery). It is the norm for food and speech, dress and one's entire behaviour. All are united in a single love, all breathe a single love. An offence against love is regarded as an offence against God; anything that is opposed to love is rejected and cast out; if anything offends against love, it is not allowed to remain for even a day. For they know that love is so emphasised by Christ and the apostles that if it is lacking, everything else is in vain, and if it is present, everything else is made perfect". (The Catholic Way of Life 33, 7)
Child Safeguarding Policy Statement – Augustinian Province Ireland
As a constituent member of the Catholic Church in Ireland, we recognise and uphold the dignity and rights of all children, are committed to ensuring their safety and well-being, and will work in partnership with parents/guardians to do this. We recognise each child as a gift from God, and we value and encourage the participation of children in all activities that enhance their spiritual, physical, emotional, intellectual and social development.
All Church personnel (including clergy, religious, staff and volunteers) have a responsibility to safeguard children through promoting their welfare, health and development in a safe and caring environment that supports their best interests and prevents abuse.
Commitment by the Augustinians
On behalf of all Augustinians in Ireland, I commit to safeguarding children by agreeing to follow this Child Safeguarding Policy. I will abide by and uphold the seven standards and the applicable indicators in our entire ministry and contacts with children.
