Ferns: School chaplains pray for all who suffer

WE the executive of the School Chaplains’ Association of Ireland wish publicly to 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 offer our prayers to the following:

1. To victims/survivors of child sexual abuse and their families. In the course of justice being done we hope they 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.
