Code of Pastoral Conduct
Specific application of the policy at
Our Lady of Sorrows Parish, PetawawaCODE OF PASTORAL CONDUCT: we recently received the above listed final document. The decree was promulgated and signed by Bishop Michael Mulhall and by the Chancellor, Father Michael Smith. The decree is directly applicable to priests, deacons, seminarians, employees and volunteers engaged in ministries and services in the Diocese of Pembroke. It’s intent is to assist all in upholding Christian values and conduct as they minister to, or work with the People of God. This final document is effective February 1, 2019 and has been distributed among our parish staff and will be disseminated among all those engaged in volunteer ministry in the parish.
In order that we may be in complete compliance with the letter and spirit of the ‘Code of Pastoral Conduct’, the following is important to note:
Effective Immediately:All appointments with Father Steve or any parish staff member or volunteer will only take place during regular office hours in the Parish Centre. Father Steve will meet with individuals or couples in the Parish Centre in our meeting room (formerly the chapel) with the door open at all times. The parish secretary and the director of religious education will always be made aware of individual or group meetings taking place with Father Steve and will have full view into the room from the hallway. No group or individual appointments will take place in the priest’s house.
The door of the Confessional Room (located in the main foyer of the church) has been adapted to include a large pane of glass. Parents / Grandparents / Guardians are encouraged to stand at the door of the confessional room and observe when their children are celebrating the sacrament. In fact, anyone feeling the need for moral support can ask that a relative or friend stand at the door during the Celebration of Sacrament. Those desiring to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation in a more traditional confessional are invited to do so at one of the four Roman Catholic Churches in Pembroke.
