Are you concerned about the way your teens are bombarded with sex in the media and their surroundings? Pure Reality, a youth rally for grades 8-12 and presented by the Catholic Pro-Life Committee and Catholics Respect Life, is on Sunday, February 8, 2009, from 4:00 - 9:30 p.m. at the Metro Center in Arlington. Our mission is to present a Pure Reality to today's youth, letting them know that chastity and abstinence are the true paths to freedom. The opening Mass will be celebrated by Bishop Kevin Farrell and guest presenters include Chris Stefanick from Catholic Answers and the Archdiocese of Denver, Fr. Stan Fortuna, CFR, and the Theater of the Word. Tickets are only $20! Youth must attend as a group with safe environment-cleared adults.

Bishop Farrell encourages all who minister to youth to take advantage of this opportunity to promote the Culture of Life through chastity education:

"I enthusiastically endorse the Pure Reality Rally as a joy-filled call to young people to say ‘yes' to life and love - the true love of Christ as lived in the freedom of chastity. I strongly encourage all our Catholic youth and their leaders to attend this special event, to embrace the challenge of renewing their minds and stirring up their hearts, and to take the light of this experience into the world to bring healing and hope."
- Most Reverend Kevin J. Farrell, Bishop of Dallas
