Family Violence - Living together in love, without violence, is at the heart of the Gospel. In our parishes, just as in the wider community there are people who live with violence and threats in their homes. Domestic violence affects every part of Auckland, in every suburb and in every parish. Know how to tell whether domestic violence is affecting a neighbor, a friend or a fellow parishioner. Do we know what to do is someone asks for help? To whom can we turn if we suspect that a neighbor or friend might be at risk? Family violence is an issue that goes beyond our personal views. As a committed Catholic community we must respond appropriately and with compassion. Our Catholic faith says clearly that there is no place for family violence. Families need to be free from violence to be loving, healthy and strong. Catholic Social Services has worked with many families where violence has occurred. In recent years we have been working closely with church groups to prevent family violence. We see this as working with a parish and other church communities, to build fences at the top of the cliff so that fewer people live in fear, or are hurt or killed. We are committed to supporting parishes and other church communities to become places of safety where families can live without violence. We offer workshops for people in parishes or other church communities or groups to prevent family violence. We do this by giving information about violence in families and information on how to respond if you are worried about a family. These workshops can be tailor made in order to fit the particular needs of any community in the Diocese and are available to any parish, church community, deanery, interest group, or any other group within the Diocese.
