Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. As a parish within the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne, we consider the safety and wellbeing of all persons to be our highest priority.

St Christopher’s Parish, Syndal  holds the care, safety and wellbeing of children and adults at risk as a fundamental responsibility of the Church. This commitment is drawn from, and inherent to, the teaching and mission of Jesus Christ, with love, justice and the dignity of each human person at the heart of the Gospel. A culture of safety within the Church ensures that everyone can actively and fully participate in the life of the Church and realise their potential in a faith community. 

We respect the human dignity of each person and strive to create an inclusive and welcoming Church that enables its people to grow and develop in their faith freely and in a caring and supportive environment.
