Statement of Inclusion and Justice

'Come and you will see' 

John 1:39

The principles of freedom and equality are core aspects of the gospels and Catholic social teaching. Freedom of religion, freedom of speech and freedom of association are inalienable human rights.

We believe that all religious bodies, including churches and other groups, should be able to co-exist with respect and acceptance.

Kildare Ministries is a richer organisation because of the multi-cultural and multi-faith nature of its communities. This nature is supported within our Catholic tradition and explicitly by the policies and procedures of Kildare Ministries. Therefore, Kildare Ministries believes that people should not be persecuted or discriminated against because they hold, or do not hold, a religious belief, or engage in or do not engage in religious practises.

We invite and encourage mutual respect and acceptance among people and groups.

We accept the practical challenges and responsibility this brings for all in any Kildare Ministries community.
