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.

Safe Haven Sunday is a weekend set aside within the liturgical calendar by dioceses and parishes to directly address the societal harms of pornography. The Archdiocese of Cincinnati will observe Safe Haven Sunday on the weekend of August 10, 2025 and continue annually at or near August 11, Feast of St. Philomena, “Champion of Chastity”.

“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.”

– United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
