The Courage To Be Chaste In a Self-Obsessed Culture
February 23, 2023, 6:00 p.m.
St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Parish, 12001 69th Street E., Parrish, FL 34219

Young people today live in a digital-driven world with many social media platforms. They leave the safety of being chaste, to live the supposed freedom and false lies that promiscuity promises. Pam Stenzel, an international speaker, feels that it is important for young people to hear straight talk about living an un-chaste life, its consequences, and the life and death choices they meet every single day.
