The Benefits
Many wonderful things come from learning how to love authentically: sexual health, respect, confidence, freedom, peace, friendship, lasting relationships, self worth, the list is endless!
At Pure in Heart, we regard our sexuality as one of God’s most beautiful and exciting gifts! But like everything, it’s been given to us with a purpose.
It has become very evident that casual attitudes towards sex has left many young people in circumstances in which they were not prepared for example: unexpected pregnancies, STI’s, or serious heartbreak.
‘Since hearing the Pure in Heart presentation and trying to put it into practice in my life, I have experienced great peace and freedom. The more that I pray and learn the more I see how amazing and beautiful God’s plan for love and for our sexuality is and I will never be content to settle for anything less.’Joanna, 28, Kildare
We believe that when God created sex, he created it to be the most intimate expression of love between two people. We are committed to spreading this message about true love that lasts, so that many other young people experience this joy in their lives also.
We are a faith-based organisation, however our presentation can be tailored to suit your requirements regardless of your schools/group’s ethos or beliefs.
Our Main Package:

If teachers request a shorter time period, we would be happy to facilitate this and can discuss during the booking process.
Number of Students per talk
Past experience proves that students interact better in slightly smaller settings, however if it’s a very large group (approximately over 150) we would be grateful if you would mention this in advance so we can come prepared with appropriate equipment.
What is the typical response from the students?
We request anonymous feedback from every student that hears our presentation. The feedback we receive is overwhelmingly positive. The students often comment that our speakers are always respectful, fun and extremely genuine and deliver an important message in a light-hearted fashion. Students benefit from hearing our mission team members, who are carefully chosen with varying and contrasting life experience and backgrounds.This enables us to deliver a balanced and well-rounded approach, that every student can relate to in some way.
