"Safeguarding is at the heart of the mission of the Diocese of Armidale.
We stand to protect the most vulnerable, including children and adults at risk, and ensure this commitment is lived in all our parishes, in all our ministries and at all levels. This is not just because of our important legal, moral and spiritual responsibility, but because it goes to the very foundations of the teachings of Christ and is fundamental to human flourishing and development.
Where this has not been fulfilled, we sincerely offer our deepest apologies. With your help, we are committed to building a safe, nurturing Church where all may live and experience the true Gospel of Jesus Christ."
