TO ALL PARISH VOLUNTEERS
As you are aware, three years ago we began the
process of Garda vetting for every volunteer in the
parish. This was in line with guidelines supplied by
the Dublin Diocese. The process must be renewed
every three years and so we will begin
supplying Garda Vetting Forms, and Parish
Volunteer forms, to every volunteer, on a phased
basis, shortly.
However, before that process is initiated, the
Parish Pastoral Council has arranged two
information meetings on Tuesday November 11th
and Tuesday 25th at & 7.30pm in the Parish
Community Centre presented by Mr Andrew
Fagan and Fr. Paddy Boyle from the Child
Safeguarding Office in the Diocese. Every volunteer
is required to attend one meeting and will be
invited to sign in on the night of the meeting. If
someone, for a valid reason, cannot attend either
meeting they must contact me and one further
meeting will be organised. Failure to attend any
Sr. Catherine Greene
Kilmacud
meeting will render a volunteer unable to be considered
a registered volunteer.
PARISH OFFICE
The Safeguarding Policy in the parish can allow for no
exceptions as the protection of children is paramount

and must remain the main priority of our parish
life.
Finally, by now all registered volunteers will have
received an invitation to our Volunteer Party in
November. The invitation has gone to all those
who have completed the Garda Vetting and Parish
volunteer process. However, if for some
administrative omission a volunteer has not
received an invitation, they can notify the parish
office.
With thanks for all your commitment to the life of
the parish.
