Story

Pure in Heart America

Pure in Heart, founded in Ireland, was introduced to Boston area young adults during a mission trip to Milot, Haiti. These young adults saw the need to for youth-to-youth chastity education and Pure in Heart presented an opportunity to do so. They gathered a group of young adults to found Pure in Heart America (PIHA).

We are unique in that we concentrate on the formation of our speakers. PIHA young adults are formed though weekly prayer meetings consisting of Mass, Adoration, Rosary, and discussion. Certain prayer group members are carefully selected for Mission Teams and trained on the PIHA presentations and public speaking skills. PIHA mission teams provide a young and modern witness to the virtue of chastity and sanctity of human life. The well-grounded community ensures this witness is authentic and founded in Truth. Those who are called to evangelize via the mission teams educate, inspire and empower youth to live the virtue of chastity and defend the sanctity of human life. The spirit of the missions and energy of the youth in turn bring joy and fervor back to the young adult communities.

National and international expansion signifies that these are universal Truths and contributes to a deeper understanding of the Body of Christ and the universal human condition.

International Mission

PIHA members together with PIH-Ireland have been key in the formation of Pure in Heart branches in Haiti and Kenya. These global branches have their own prayer meetings and do local evangelization. Within the first week of their training in Kenya, PIH-Kenya had spoken to 1,400 youth. Hundreds have been reached by PIH-Haiti.
