| Castlemaine Parish Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time 29th/30th January 2022 |
A loving person
Jesus fulfilled the ideal of love Paul speaks about.
He was never in a hurry and was always kindness itself.
He never envied anybody, and never boasted about himself.
He was never snobbish, or rude, or selfish.
He did not take offence easily,
Nor did he keep on talking about the wrong things other people did.
He preferred to remember the good things and to rejoice in them.
He was tough – he could face anything.
And he never lost trust in God, or in people.
He never lost hope, he never gave in.
He never stopped loving.

Safeguarding Sunday: message on behalf of the Diocesan Safeguarding Committee. During the summer of 2021 an audit of safeguarding practice in the diocese was carried out by the National Board for Safeguarding Children. The purpose of this audit was to assess safeguarding procedures as outlined in our policy. The Safeguarding Committee would like to acknowledge and thank all who took part. It was very evident that there is a strong safeguarding culture in our parishes and the high level of commitment by all involved was recognised. The full report will be published and available in the coming weeks. Anyone who would like to report a current or past safeguarding concern is advised to contact the Designated Liaison Person for the Diocese on 087 6362780.
