  • Message from the Diocesan Safeguarding Committee: The committee would like to thank all those who attended safeguarding training programmes. So far this year 83 people attended two diocesan training programmes, safeguarding children training and adults at-risk of abuse training. It was great to see the engagement and continued support from parishes with 65 Parish Safeguarding Reps attending meetings in Killarney and Tralee. An important topic discussed was bringing back altar servers and other youth groups. The committee would like to acknowledge the dedicated work undertaken in parishes were these groups have returned. Finally, the committee would like to encourage Parish Safeguarding Reps, Schools, and Parents to work towards reinstating altar servers in parishes that have yet to do so.
