Natural Family Planning Training:

The Couple to Couple League provides Natural Family Planning (NFP) training to married and engaged couples, using the Sympto-Thermal Method of NFP, which is in accord with Church teaching.

The Sympto-Thermal method of NFP is 99% effective in postponing pregnancy, in the same range as birth control pills. Additionally, NFP is healthy for marriages as couples who practice NFP have an extremely low divorce rate of less than 5%.

Pamphlets are available in the back of church with contact information. Upcoming programs will be posted on the parish homepage and included in the Bulletin. For Dayton area NFP classes, contact parishioners Tom and Kris Severyn at 937-435-4750
