Natural Family Planning

Natural Family Planning methods provide effective means of postponing or achieving pregnancy without drugs, surgery or artificial products. They are safe, reliable, inexpensive, and usable during all stages of reproductive life. They foster increased communication between husband and wife and a stronger relationship often results.

“To experience the gift of married love while respecting the laws of conception is to acknowledge that one is not the master of the sources of life, but rather the minister of the design established by the Creator.” – Humanae Vitae 13
