Freedom through Support and Healing
Help for Men and Women
Today, both men and women use pornography. It is also a commonly cited factor in the majority of divorces in the past decade. The temptation does not just "go away" and almost all users find it extremely difficult to overcome the habitual element of pornography use. The My House Initiative uses every tool at our disposal - support groups, education, counseling, confession - to help real people find freedom from pornography. Will you begin your journey?

Looking for a Few Good Men
The My House initiative is restarting and forming new groups, and we’re looking for men willing to step into the gap.
We are building parish-based support groups for individuals struggling with unwanted sexual behaviors—focused on connecting them to recovery specific resources. For many, this space will be the first step out of the darkness and into the light of honesty. It’s a raw, heavy moment, and we need leaders who can be a steady, warm presence for men beginning their journey of recovery.
You won’t be doing this alone. Under the guidance of a licensed treatment provider, you’ll lead alongside another man in your parish, receiving all the training and materials to create a safe landing pad. Our goal is to have a "lighthouse" group active in each of the six deaneries by September.
This is more than a volunteer role; it’s a pastoral mission of brotherhood and prayer. If you feel called to help provide that first handhold for a brother coming out of the shadows, we’d love to talk with you.
Groups meet weekly and provide a basic level of support along with brotherhood and prayer. Leaders will be approved by their pastor for this work.
