Safe Haven Sunday: Equipping the Family, Safeguarding Children The Diocese of St. Petersburg is setting aside this weekend as Safe Haven Sunday to address the sin of pornography and other online threats to marriages and family life. After Mass, pick up a bookmark that includes a seven-day text-to-opt-in program. You’ll receive seven days of emails to help you with the latest parental controls. YouTube, Google SafeSearch, iOS, and others are included. Create a safer digital environment for yourself and your children.
You can also download the free eBook, Allied: /fighting Porn with Accountability, Faith, and Friends at www.covenanteyes.com/e-books. The writers at Covenant Eyes have over 20 years of experience in equipping accountability relationships to help you understand what accountability is, what the Bible says about it, and how it is crucial for anyone who either wants to find freedom from porn or help others quit.

Dear fellow parishioners,
What if we told you that there was available to you a trustworthy source of information to help grow your faith and deepen your closeness to God? What if we said that you could have easy access to this information right on your computer, tablet or phone, any time, day or night -- information that is reliably Catholic in content? What if we said you could watch inspirational movies, learn about the Saints and Church heroes, or tune in to Bible studies or talks – watching, reading, and listening to programs and content that interests you, on your own time schedule? How much do you think that would cost and would it be worth it to you?
Well, it is available to you . . . right now . . . and it is FREE!
We are talking about FORMED – The Catholic Faith On Demand, a media service of the renowned Augustine Institute. This remarkable gift from St. Scholastica Church is available to all parishioners. All you need to do is sign-in to the FORMED website with your name, email address and parish name. That’s it. FORMED does not ask you for any other personal information to obtain full access to their extensive media catalog.
For those of you who have not yet taken advantage of this wonderful gift of faith-formation from our parish, we urge you to do so. Please check out what FORMED has to offer by logging in to www.formed.org. It is well worth your time.
Peace and blessings from your fellow parishioners,
Mike and Sherri Turner
