Built from scratch to fulfill the lifelong dream of Domino's Pizza founder Thomas S. Monaghan, the town of Ave Maria, Florida is being called a "refuge for Christian values in the secular age." Ave Maria is centered around a 1,100-seat Roman Catholic church, and businesses are told not to sell contraceptives.

"I put basically everything I had into it, not only my money, but the rest of my life," Monaghan said of the town, according to ABC News.

"There are no adult book stores or strip clubs, and local businesses are urged not to sell contraceptives or birth control," Gigi Stone reports for ABC News.
