Safeguarding at North Parish.

Our parish is committed to safeguarding everyone involved in its activities, ministries, and services. The safety and wellbeing of everyone in our community is our highest priority.

We appreciate greatly the volunteers who willingly give of their time to various ministries. The Catholic Parish of Christchurch North has a nominated parish safeguarding contact.

The nominated parish contact for our parish is Melonie de Roo (03-359-1438 or priestspa@christchurchnorth.org.nz ) who supports the parish priest in overseeing all activities, concerns and procedures related to safeguarding.

Their name and contact details are displayed on the purple posters around our parish which lists our ‘Parish Safeguarding Commitments.’
