What Is Natural Family Planning (NFP)?
Has anyone ever clearly explained for you WHY the Catholic Church does not approve of unnatural birth control?  For most of us, the answer is "no."  In these classes, you will  learn about your faith and discover a natural method of family planning that goes beyond the physical.

Natural Family Planning (NFP) is the general title for the scientific, natural and moral methods of family planning that can help married couples either to achieve or to postpone pregnancies.
 
NFP methods are based on the observation of the naturally occurring signs and symptoms of the fertile and infertile phases of a woman's menstrual cycle. No drugs, devices, or surgical procedures are used to avoid pregnancy.

Since the methods of NFP respect the love-giving (unitive) and life-giving (procreative) nature of the conjugal act, they support God's design for married love!

Additional Information about NFP is on the Couple to Couple League Website.
