Safe Haven Sunday will be observed on March 12-13, 2022 in the Diocese of Baton Rouge.
Pornography has become more prevalent than ever. Oversexualization in entertainment has become the new norm and our devices have given us constant availability and accessibility to anything we could ever want at the push of a button.
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops wrote a formal statement to express the Catholic church’s stance on pornography entitled “Create in Me a Clean Heart: A Pastoral Response to Pornography.” In the publication, it 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 generations.”
On the Second Sunday of Lent, March 12th and 13th of 2022, we, as a Diocese, will be implementing the anti-pornography campaign entitled “Safe Haven Sunday.”
We invite parishes within the Diocese to help raise awareness of the dangers of pornography and provide families with these tangible resources for making homes a “safe haven.”
