Please join the Family Life Office Media Center in celebrating Natural Family Planning Awareness Week from July 20-26. “The dates of Natural Family Planning Awareness Week highlight the anniversary of the papal encyclical Humanae Vitae (July 25) which articulates Catholic beliefs about human sexuality, conjugal love and responsible parenthood. The dates also mark the feast of Saints Joachim and Anne (July 26), the parents of the Blessed Mother” (usccb).

Couples are becoming increasingly aware of the many positive benefits of Natural Family Planning (NFP).  NFP is in harmony with nature...in harmony with a couple's fertility...in harmony with the truth and teachings of the Catholic Church.  A woman experiences clear, easily observable signs indicating when she is fertile and when she is infertile.  Couples can learn to interpret these signs by taking classes from well-trained NFP practitioners and instructors.  Couples can then apply what they have learned to achieve pregnancy, space their children, or limit their family size.  NFP respects the dignity of both men and women and strengthens marriage.  Get the facts!  Find out more today!
