Natural Family Planning Awareness Week is a national educational
campaign. The Natural Family Planning Program of the United States
Conference of Catholic Bishops develops a poster each year with basic
supportive materials. It is the individual dioceses however, that offer
a variety of educational formats in the local church to focus attention
on Natural Family Planning methods and Church teachings which support
their use in marriage.
The dates of Natural Family Planning Awareness Week highlight the anniversary of the papal encyclical Humanae Vitae (July 25) which articulates Catholic beliefs about human sexuality, conjugal love and responsible parenthood. The dates also mark the feast of Saints Joachim and Anne (July 26), the parents of the Blessed Mother. For further information, contact nfp@usccb.org.
