Victims of abuse within the Catholic church have been promised extra support from Irish bishops.
A document is being given to mass-goers in NI on Saturday evening.
It will update them on what the bishops are doing to help
victims and the ways they are improving child protection in the church.
Last March Pope Benedict took the unprecedented step of
writing a pastoral letter apologising to victims of Catholic
Institutional Abuse.
Senior church officials were then sent to look at clerical abuse within the church in Ireland.
It was part of an apostolic visitation, announced by Pope Benedict in his pastoral letter.
To mark the first anniversary of the Pope's pastoral letter,
Irish bishops have issued a "progress report" into what they are doing
called 'Towards Healing and Renewal'.
A counselling service for victims and families will get an extra £9m in funding.
The church said it would provide more child protection
training and would continue work closely with the police and social
services over allegation of abuse.
Bishops will also set-a-side the first Friday of every month
for prayer and fasting, to make amends for abuse and for the failure of
leadership to respond to it effectively.
Representatives of victims of clerical abuse met with members of the apostolic visitation in January.
