Safeguarding – Catholic Diocese of Port Pirie

At the SERVICE of communion

Jesus came as 'one who serves'.

Religious and clergy, among them religious leaders and bishops, are particularly called to witness a spirit of service. Because of the trust they are given and the visibility of their witness and leadership, they are conscious of the unique power and responsibility they have in pastoral relationships.

Professional Standards

The Port Pirie Diocese, in conjunction with the Integrity and Safeguarding Department in the Archdiocese of Adelaide, work to implement the highest Professional Standards.
