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 weekend set aside within the liturgical calendar by dioceses and parishes to directly address the societal harms of pornography.
This year Safe Haven Sunday will be April 13 and 14 throughout the Diocese of Columbus having a special focus on awareness and prevention of human trafficking. Dignitas Infinita Article 41 states, “Human trafficking must also be counted among the grave violations of human dignity.” Dignitas Infinita and specific resources from the USCCB anti-trafficking and child abuse prevention programs can be found using the links below.

Parishes are asked to provide teaching and share resources that will support and protect individuals, marriages, and families in making all homes a safe haven.
