An Invitation To
Natural Family Planning
and
Fertility Care Awareness

Dear Friends in Christ,

Natural Family Planning and Fertility Care Awareness are worldwide movements of couples who have found they can safely plan their families through natural means. Today’s NFP/FCA methods can help develop your relationship with God through the intimacy of your marriage.

In Pope John Paul II’s letter to the World, Evangelium Vitae, he calls us to “responsible parenthood, lived in respect for the full truth of the conjugal act.” Natural methods, properly used, can help promote and preserve all the elements of love. In a society where we must work very hard to maintain a faithful sense of love, relationship and family, these NFP/FCA methods can serve to enhance the gift of marriage and strengthen your relationship with God.

Natural methods can help couples to prayerfully plan a family, in accordance with the teachings of our Catholic faith. I encourage you to be aware of the presence of God in this next step on your journey of faith

With every good wish, I remain

Your brother in Christ,
