"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."

Saint Matthew 5, 8

Pure In Heart is a Catholic young adult ministry (ages 18 – 35) grounded in prayer and committed to weekly prayer meetings with Mass, Adoration, Rosary and Fellowship. Dedicated to spreading Jesus’ teachings on the sanctity of life, the beauty of our sexuality, the joys of living chastely and discerning vocations faithfully, the ministry’s motto is “educating, inspiring and empowering young people.” Trained youth teams from this ministry provide multi-media presentations to interested groups on these topics.

Pure In Heart began in Ireland, but has spread their messages and membership to other young people in countries like Germany, Great Britain, Hungry, Austria ---as well as Haiti.  They have shared this ministry with youth in Boston who now embrace it. This new chapter is called Pure In Heart America.
