Parish Safeguarding & Child Protection Policy

If life is a play
Play your role.
If life is a treasure
Get your share.
If life is a puzzle
Act in the living present.

If life is a dream
Hold fast to your dream.
If life is a battle
Fight with all your might.
If life is a journey
Travel till the end.

Life is
But a mystery,
Live it
As it comes.
