Safe Haven Sunday
Our Diocese will be observing our fourth Safe Haven Sunday on the weekend of August 20-21, 2022. The evil of pornography is a significant threat to our families. While it is, for many, an awkward topic to address, the need requires our best efforts, and Safe Haven Sunday is designed to aid us in taking on this challenge. For a series of Safe Haven Sunday resources, please click here. To view even more information on this subject, please go to our diocesan “Freedom from Pornography” webpage at this link.
