Safe Haven Sunday

On March 3, 2019, we will be celebrating the first annual "Safe Haven Sunday" with the theme “Equipping the Family, Safeguarding Children.”  This awareness effort is meant to draw our attention as a community to the seriousness of the issues of pornography and to recommit ourselves to take steps to ensure our homes are safe havens for all.
Picture
As you work hard to create safe havens for your children and spouse, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) works hard to provide resources to help provide a healthy process of discernment for our young people.  The particular issue of pornography is not easy to discuss, but it’s important.

The USCCB released a pastoral response to pornography, called "Create in Me a Clean Heart." The intention of writing this document was to:
• offer healing and hope to those who have been wounded by pornography;
• articulate the Catholic Church’s response to the pastoral crisis brought about by the production and use of pornography; and
• raise awareness of its pervasiveness and harms.

Why?  Because pornography is hurting many people, including marriages and families, singles, priests and religious, and even children. It hurts the healthy process of vocational discernment for our young people.  Pornography use impacts the relationships of children with their parents, husbands with their wives (and vice versa),
the pastor with his community, and most importantly, our relationship with our Lord.

In the formal statement, the USCCB speak directly to parents about being proactive about the issue of pornography in the life of the home with their children and together as a married couple ensure the home keeps its status as a safe haven for all.  The Bishops states, “The use of pornography by anyone in the home deprives the home of its role as a safe haven and has negative effects throughout a family’s life and across generation.”
There will be free resources for you to assist with striving for healthy and holy marriages and families, including how to talk to your children about internet dangers.  But you don't have to wait.  You can begin learning now by joining The Equipped 7-Day Challenge: A Digital Crash Course by texting SECURE TO 66866 to receive seven days of emailed digital tips!
