Safe Haven Sunday October 3, 2021

Safe Haven Sunday is a weekend set aside by the Archdiocese of Vancouver and parishes to directly address the harms of sexualized content and pornography in an appropriate way. 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 is inspired by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ formal statement Create in Me a Clean Heart: A Pastoral Response to Pornography, where they explain, “The use of pornography by anyone in the home deprives the home of its role as a safe haven and has a negative effect throughout a family’s life and across generations.”

Star of the Sea Parish will engage in Safe Haven Sunday on October 3rd, 2021.

All Star of the Sea school families will soon be receiving a copy of EQUIPPED: Smart Catholic Parenting in a Sexualized Culture. We hope this resource helps you as you navigate this particularly challenging aspect of parenting.

Each family will receive a copy of this book as a resource.
