“Love Beyond Measure, Natural Family Planning, Supporting God’s gifts of love and life in marriage.”

As an educational campaign of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), “NFP Week” celebrates God’s design for married love and the gift of life and raises awareness about Natural Family Planning (NFP) methods. “NFP,” as the U.S. bishops have written, are supportive of Catholic beliefs about married love because NFP “respects the God-given power to love a new human life into being”

The dates of Natural Family Planning Awareness highlight the anniversary of the papal encyclical Humanae vitae (July 25) which articulates Catholic beliefs about human sexuality, marriage, conjugal love and responsible parenthood. Want to learn more about the methods of NFP offered in our diocese? Visit the NFP section of the USCCB website at: usccb OR, go to ccli.org.
