Safe Haven Sunday
What is Safe Haven Sunday? Inspired by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) formal statement, Create in Me a Clean Heart: A Pastoral Response to Pornography, Safe Haven Sunday is a weekend set aside within the liturgical calendar by dioceses and parishes to directly address the societal harms of pornography.
Within the context of the Mass, parishes are able to provide teaching and resources that will support and protect individuals, marriages, and families in making all homes a safe haven.

It has almost been a year since we celebrated our first annual Safe Haven Sunday in the Diocese of Superior. This was just the beginning of our pursuit to do our part by directly addressing the harmfulness of pornography in marriages, families, and culture as a whole. Together we can address this issue by teaching those who have been entrusted to our care about pornography’s effects and to share helpful and effective resources with them. On March 9th, we will continue our efforts by celebrating our second annual Safe Haven Sunday.
