‘Safeguarding is Everybody’s Responsibility’
To safeguard those most vulnerable, we all have a part to play. If we have a concern for the safety/wellbeing of anybody, we must report this to the appropriate authority, whether that be, Gardaí, HSE, Tusla, GP or Church Authority.
The Diocesan Designated Liaison persons are not only available to you for church related concerns, but can offer you advice on how to report any concerns in the wider context.
Please feel free to contact Cleo Yates or Fr. Alan O’Leary at safeguarding@corkandross.org

SYNODAL
The Catholic Church in Ireland & throughout the world is beginning a series of conversations about what God wants of his people at this time. These conversations are often referred to as a Synodal Process. The word ‘Synodal’ comes from a Greek word which means ‘Walking Together’.
This Sunday, 17th October we mark the opening of this Synodal Process, which coincides with the start of the two-year Synodal Pathway for the Catholic Church in Ireland.
Bishop Fintan will celebrate Mass in the Cathedral of St. Mary & St. Anne on this Sunday 17th October at 11.30am to launch the Synodal Pathway in the Diocese of Cork and Ross. It will be live streamed.
THE PRAYER OF THE SYNOD
We stand before You, Holy Spirit, as we gather together in Your name.
With You alone to guide us, make Yourself at home in our hearts, teach us the way we must go and how we are to pursue it.
We are weak and sinful, do not let us promote disorder.
Do not let ignorance lead us down the wrong path nor partiality influence our actions.
Let us find in You our unity so that we may journey together to eternal life and not stray from the way of truth and what is right.
Al this we ask of You, who are at work in every place and time, in the communion of the Father and the Son, forever and ever. Amen.
