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

For practical conversations on Natural Family Planning see the Charting Toward Fertility podcasts  at https://oakdiocese.org/resources-nfp.

The best way to learn NFP is from a qualified instructor. Following are instructors teaching in our Diocese or willing to teach long distance. Please contact them directly for information regarding class time, location and fees.
