We in the parish of Our Lady of Good Counsel, Ballyboden, value and encourage the participation of children and young people in parochial activities that enhance their spiritual, physical, emotional and social development. We recognise the dignity and rights of all children and young people and we are committed to their safeguarding and support.
In keeping with this, we do all we can to create a safe environment for children and young people in order to ensure their protection and enable their full participation in the life of the parish and Church.
