Our Mission:· Normalizing conversations in the parish about the Church's teaching on Natural Family Planning and marriage
As Natural Family Planning Advocates at St. Andrew we strive to raise the awareness of the benefits of Natural Family Planning both for women and society. We will do this through providing resources and accompaniment for anyone interested in learning and living holistically through the practice of fertility awareness and discernment.
Our Objectives:
· Providing access to NFP resources and instruction throughout ALL fertile years
· Accessing options for financial support to make NFP a viable option for struggling couples
· Teaching that The Theology of the Body is practically lived out through Natural Family Planning
