Safe Haven Sunday weekend, an initiative to raise awareness about the negative impacts of pornography and how families can make their homes a safe haven for everyone, will be observed across the diocese Saturday, March 6, and Sunday, March 7.
Inspired by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ formal statement “Create in Me a Clean Heart: A Pastoral Response to Pornography,” the weekend is set aside to directly address the harms of pornography in an appropriate way. Within the context of the Mass, dioceses and parishes are able to provide teaching and resources that will support and protect individuals, marriages, families and society.
Resources from the diocesan Office of Marriage and Family can be found at: https://stcdio.org/pornography. Year 3 parish resources are available at https://bit.ly/3am9EaC.
