As we drive our children to school, ballet or soccer, we hope that we will arrive to our destinations safely.

Life happens. Accidents happen.

Which makes it vital to not only have a car seat, but to have it installed properly.

Enter the Catholic Diocese of Phoenix, which will coordinate the Seat Them Safely/Siéntelos Seguros campaign. A priest from the diocese will perform a blessing-of-the-car-seats ceremony Saturday morning during one of four Valley events.

“Catholic priests bless objects as a way of asking God to watch over those who would use or benefit from the use of those objects.
