Many married couples experience the pain of infertility, and while children are among the greatest blessings, not all methods of expanding one’s family are morally good. 

The following resources are available to help Catholics understand the Church’s teaching on marriage and the procreation of children and to provide support and guidance for married couples who are experiencing difficulty having children.

These materials can be shared piecemeal in many ways, for example in parish bulletins and newsletters, on websites and social media, incorporated into talks, or used for personal prayer and reflection.
