We help people rediscover their identity as beloved sons and daughters of God, find healing for the wounds that hold them back, and grow in freedom and holiness.
Catholic teaching, prayer and practical formation, rooted in the dignity of the human person.
Imago Dei means “image of God.” Your dignity is given by God. Your struggles, mistakes and wounds do not erase it.
We help people recognize the wounds and beliefs that distort how they see themselves, receive the Father’s love, and learn to live from their identity in Him. This is the heart of our recovery, family and clergy formation work.
Founded by Dann Aungst as Road to Purity, this ministry draws on lived experience of recovery and the wisdom of the Catholic faith. Imago Dei carries that work forward under a new name.
Our work is grounded in Scripture, the sacramental life of the Church and Catholic teaching, including the Thomistic tradition of St. Thomas Aquinas.
This tradition understands the person as a unity of body and soul, made for truth, goodness and love. It helps us see how reason, emotions, habits and free choices work together, and how grace and growth in virtue shape a life of freedom.
Through prayer, teaching and practical formation, we bring that understanding into the struggles and relationships of everyday life.
One mission, expressed through recovery, family formation and support for clergy.
A whole-person approach to freedom from pornography and sexual sin, grounded in the Catholic faith.
Find your next step →Helping parents guide their children toward a healthy understanding of sexuality, relationships and personal dignity.
Explore family formation →Supporting those who accompany people toward healing, freedom and a deeper life in Christ.
Support your parish →Recovery is more than trying harder. It means understanding what drives a pattern, building healthier responses and seeking support rather than walking alone.
Our approach brings prayer and Catholic teaching together with practical reflection and accountability. Winning the Battle offers a structured way to begin.
Recognize the patterns you want to change. Bring them into prayer, seek appropriate pastoral support and make room for accountability. Healing is a process, not a promise of instant results.
Look beyond behavior alone. Spiritual life, emotions, daily habits and the body's learned responses all matter. Our formation addresses these dimensions together.
A Catholic course for men seeking freedom from pornography and sexual sin, designed for personal reflection or group study.
Enrollment opens on our existing Road to Purity course platform.
Parents are a child's first guides in understanding love, sexuality and the dignity of the human person. Family formation is about more than protection: it helps children grow toward healthy relationships and an integrated life.
Restoring the Family is in development. Its focus includes sexuality, healing, protection and technology, supporting parents as they navigate these conversations.
Ask about family formationHelp children understand that their worth is not defined by appearance, performance or approval. A Catholic understanding of the person begins with being made in God's image.
Make room for honest, age-appropriate conversations about relationships, sexuality and what children encounter online. Approach questions with clarity and care.
Protection and thoughtful boundaries matter, alongside ongoing conversations about freedom, responsibility and the purpose of healthy relationships.
These are introductory formation themes, not a substitute for professional care or individualized guidance.
Priests and parish leaders meet people carrying the effects of pornography and sexual sin. Formation can help them respond with clarity, compassion and a deeper understanding of the whole person.
