Natural Family Planning (NFP)
Helping couples deepen conjugal love and achieve responsible parenthood is part of the Church's total pastoral ministry. We provide both education and pastoral care to support Catholic spouses.
Why choose Natural Family Planning?
- It reflects the dignity of the human person within marriage.
- It promotes openness to life and the value of the child.
- It safely and effectively enriches the bond between husband and wife.
We are blessed to have several certified instructors available to couples within the Diocese:
