Our brand-new Online Safety Guide for parents and carers is here to support you in keeping your child safe online 🧒📲

From gaming and social media to cyberbullying and AI-generated content, the guide covers key online safety issues.

The guide can help you:
⚠️ understand common online risks and issues
💡 learn what helps in different scenarios
💬 talk with your child about what they do online
🤝 know how to respond if something goes wrong.

Start with a section or topic that feels most relevant right now, or dip in and out whenever you need it. Our goal is to help parents and carers feel more confident supporting young people to have safer, more positive experiences online.

"This week is National Child Protection Week, an opportunity for all of us to reflect on how we contribute to the safety and wellbeing of children and young people.

Protecting children is everybody's business. As a community committed to safeguarding, we each have a role to play in creating safe environments where children and young people are valued, respected and heard.

By listening, learning and turning conversation into action, we can continue to strengthen a culture of safeguarding across the Archdiocese."

𝟗 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 | 𝐒𝐓 𝐏𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐑, 𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒𝐓 🤍🙏🏽⛪️🕯️😇

Where the world sees the forgotten,
Christ calls us to draw near.
Where dignity is denied,
Let compassion break the silence.
Let no one be unseen.

In migrants seeking refuge,
In the poor and displaced,
In those wounded by injustice,
May we recognise God’s image,
And serve with open hearts.

When prejudice builds its walls,
Give us courage to cross them.
When suffering becomes invisible,
Teach us to remain present,
And love without counting cost.

Peter Claver, teach us now:
To seek God in every person,
To defend the least among us,
And make our world more human,
Through mercy, justice, and love.

St Peter Claver, defender of the slaves in South America, pray for us. 🙏🏽

𝟖 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 | 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐕𝐈𝐑𝐆𝐈𝐍 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐘 💙😇🙏🏼🕯️⛪
Alleluia, alleluia. Blessed are you, holy Virgin Mary,
deserving of all praise;
from you rose the sun of justice,
Christ our God. Alleluia, alleluia.

Today, the Virgin Mary is born,
A daughter of the promised line,
From Abraham, from David’s house,
God’s ancient promise draws near,
And dawn begins to break.

Through generations, hope was carried,
Through faithful hearts awaiting God;
Today, Mary enters history,
The dawn before the rising Sun,
The vessel of our saving hope.

Joseph hears the angel’s message,
“Do not be afraid to take Mary,”
For in her womb the Spirit works,
And Jesus comes to save His people,
Emmanuel, God-with-us.

Rejoice, then, on this blessed birth,
For Mary’s dawn prepares the way;
Her Nativity opens the morning,
Christ, the Sun of our salvation,
Will rise to light the world.

O Mother Mary, mother of peace and of our Savior, pray for us. 🙏🏼
