Turning the Titanic:  Chastity Formation from Toddlers to Teens

Turning the Titanic:
Chastity Formation from Toddlers to Teens

Videos

We have two Molly Kelly videotapes available in the Religious Education Office for a parent to check out to view. They are Teens and Chastity, Part I and Part II. Each part is just under 30 minutes in length. The videos provide a frank discussion of teen pregnancy, sexually-transmitted diseases, abortion, contraceptives and the "safe sex" lie, issues that teens face today. Molly Kelly invites the teens to choose chastity as the best means to a happy, healthy life.

We advise parents to view the videos before showing them to your teens.
