St. Michael, Cary, will be hosting a truly unique chastity program for preteens and their parents
on Friday, October 22 from 6:30 to 9 pm and Saturday, October 23, from 9:30 am to noon. This
program is presented by Family Honor, Inc., and is called Changes & Challenges. Parents, this
program is designed for you and your 6th grader. You and your child will have the opportunity
to connect and communicate about God’s gift of sexuality, chastity, fertility appreciation, true
worth and lots more. A recent participating parent shared, “It’s a straightforward approach to
sexuality, involving the whole person.” Deadline for registering is October 15. Space is limited
