Our print materials are now

available in our online store!

Print resources on gender discordance, chastity, and human sexuality are available now in our new online shop! Want to share the truth about the call to love in your parish, school, or family? These materials can help!

We'll gradually be adding more resources to the shop (lovemeansmore.org/shop) over time, so let us know which of our topics we should add next. People have also been asking us where they can buy our Love Means More mugs and travel tumblers. Those are now available in the shop as well!

 Create in Me a Pure Heart has been published!

This year marks the tenth anniversary of the USCCB's pastoral statement on the scourge of pornography, which is being published anew this year under the title Create in Me a Pure Heart. The USCCB website contains the online PDF version, and Ascension Press has now published the print version!

The tenth anniversary edition contains a new preface with practical recommendations to help pastors, lay leaders, families, educators, and civil leaders protect against pornography's many dangers.

 Religious Freedom Week 2025: Witness to Hope

During Religious Freedom Week (June 22-29), Catholics are encouraged to pray and act each day for religious freedom. The Pray-Reflect-Act series aims to help Catholics build solidarity with people of faith who are persecuted abroad and find strength to carry out the mission of the Church here in the United States. Graphics with the prayer intention for each day of Religious Freedom Week are available for download. Lectionary notes for both Sunday, June 22 and Sunday, June 29 are also available. Please share these materials through your channels where appropriate.

Please check usccb.org/ReligiousFreedomWeek for updates in the coming weeks. All materials except the talking points are available on the website.
