Chaplains' prayers
Added on October 28, 2005Sir - We the executive of the School Chaplains' Association of Ireland wish to publicly acknowledge the dedicated service given to our Association by priests and religious in Ireland over many years.
In the light of the Ferns Report we wish to express our support and prayers to the following:
1. To victims/survivors of child sexual abuse and your families, in the course of justice been done we hope you will find peace and healing;
2. To the many committed priests and religious, in this difficult time we value your ongoing guidance and support.
As chaplains (lay and religious) who journey with young people on a daily basis we reaffirm our commitment to the protection and welfare of children. Our thoughts and prayers are with all who suffer at this time.
