“The Centre for Safeguarding Minors and Vulnerable Persons at Saint Paul University in Ottawa is organizing a three-day conference in which international witnesses and experts who have lived through this crisis will share their experiences and findings. This is a unique opportunity offered to listen, understand and explore new paths of reconstruction and hope.”
Teresa Kettelkamp on the event: “Each one has a history, a problem, a moment in life when they were violated. It is necessary to give identity, to know the name, to listen, more than to talk.”
The experience of the Pandemic confronts everyone with the need not only to defend their own and others’ health, but also to measure themselves against the unmasking of false security and the detection of the pitfalls present in relational dynamics that show the fragility and vulnerability of individuals and family life.
TutelaMinorum President Cardinal Sean O’ Malley will give the key note address this Thursday in a church leadership Safeguarding formation seminar for the Brazilian Bishop’s Conference. The three day seminar, entitled “Healing Wounds” preceedes the annual assembly of the Bishops Conference, the largest episcopal conference in the Church.
