The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin Handsworth is dedicated to our Lord’s mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Taking Mary as our example of following Jesus, we seek to listen to our heavenly Father and discern where the Holy Spirit is leading us and to do so in faith, trust, obedience and love. We seek to conform our lives on the Gospel by following Mary’s Son, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, through the grace and strength of the Sacraments, the teachings of holy Scripture and mother Church, and through mutual support and fellowship. You are warmly invited to join with us in our acts of worship and social events.
As people of the Church of England, we are concerned with the wholeness of each individual within God’s purpose for everyone. We seek to safeguard all members of the Church community of all ages. It is the responsibility of each one of us to protect children, young people and vulnerable adults from any physical, sexual or emotional abuse. It is the duty of a person working with children, young people and vulnerable adults to prevent abuse and to report any abuse, discovered or suspected.
In order to achieve this we will ensure our staff and volunteers are carefully selected, screened, trained and supervised, with a clear process of identifying, investigating, managing and preventing such abuse. As an organisation we are committed to promoting equality of opportunity to all members of our community.
