Join us on September 11th for our Annual Night of Giving!
You are loved unique redeemed
Encounter the truth and beauty of your humanity.
Our modern culture gives us sand to build our lives on. Unhealthy expectations. Shallow relationships. Broken promises.
But there’s more to this story. YOU have a purpose because God created you, knows you, and loves you.
“We are not the sum of our weaknesses and failures, we are the sum of the Father’s love for us and our real capacity to become the image of His Son Jesus.” – St. Pope John Paul II

We’ve Been Featured In
Pope St. John Paul II delivered 129 talks between 1979 and 1984, collectively known as the Theology of the Body (TOB). These talks weren’t about revealing new truths of the Catholic faith. Instead, they present a new structure to answer fundamental questions. Why were we created? What is our life’s purpose?
At its heart, TOB is about understanding the vocation of life, and how we are called to participate in God’s divine life.
TOB CLE takes these profound teachings on human dignity, relationships, and sexuality, and turns them into a life-changing educational experience for youth and adults.
We invite you to discover the beauty of the human body as a reflection of God’s love. This isn’t just about learning; it’s about transformation. It’s about deepening your faith. It’s about living out authentic love. And it’s about witnessing that love to the world.
