ABOUT the program

PULLS is a Catholic program with a three-fold purpose:

​

  • to stop our sexual behaviors that contradict our Catholic faith

  • to reframe our sexuality, using the Theology of the Body as our model

  • to help others follow our path

​

This program of sexual rediscovery and healing is based on the 12-step program of Alcoholics Anonymous, a spiritual foundation of recovery, in conjunction with the 7 points of the Kerygma, the foundation of the Christian faith, and the traditions and Biblical teachings of the Catholic Church.

The members of PULLS are moving from Powerlessness and Unmanageability to Living and Loving Sacrificially in Jesus Christ. We were powerless over our sexual behaviors.  Our ability to manage our lives was compromised by our unrestrained reaction to sexual triggers. Together, we surrender our selfish, self-defeating lifestyles and replace them by joining Our Lord in embracing sacrifice.  All aspects of our lives reflect our growth and joy. God’s love (willing the good of others) emanates from us!

 

Here's a couple more structural pieces about the group:

  • Currently, we meet at four scheduled times per week (see our Meetings page for updates!) in-person or online.

  • We try to make at least one meeting per week, and the meetings last roughly one hour in length. Occasionally meeting times go over slightly if we're feeling spirited, but never over an hour and thirty minutes!

  • Anonymity and confidentiality are of the utmost importance to us. We honor one another this way.

IS PULLS FOR YOU?

  • PULLS is for Catholic men and women who are hurting or feel shame because our sexual thoughts and behaviors are not in sync with the beautiful, joyful, and satisfying gift of our sexuality upheld by our Catholic faith.

  • PULLS is for those who live a double life: one of shame, secrecy, and sin; the other of social respectability, responsibility, and fidelity.

  • PULLS is for those who have stepped away from God and followed empty sexual promises, only to discover we couldn't find our way back to Him.

  • PULLS is for those who struggle to believe that God, or anyone else, could love them.
