As from 5th November 2024, a new Safeguarding policy within the Church in Malta and Gozo has come into effect. The policy sets higher standards for Church entities and places the welfare of alleged victims at the centre of the Safeguarding Commission’s work in Malta and Gozo. – Archdiocese of Malta

As part of our ongoing commitment to social causes, this October we extended our support to the Migrants Commission and their incredible initiative at the Balzan Welcoming Centre!

Mr Mark Pellicano accompanied HE Charles J Scicluna, Archbishop of Malta, to a meeting with the leadership of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors to discuss safeguarding in the Church in Malta, including the policy to be introduced in the coming months.

The Safeguarding Commission is committed to preventing abuse and fostering safe environments for individuals and communities within the Church.
