What is Natural Family Planning?
Natural Family Planning provides couples a safe, effective means to achieve or avoid pregnancy and gain an understanding of their gift of fertility.

Prayer of Reparation
God and Father of Life, You have created every human person, and have opened the way for each to have eternal life. We live in the shadow of death. Tens of millions of Your children have been killed because of the Roe vs. Wade decision legalizing abortion. Father, have mercy on us. Heal our land and accept our offering of prayer and penance. In Your love for us, turn back the scourge of abortion. May each of us exult in hearts full of hope and hands full of mercy and work together to build a culture of life.  
We pray through Christ our Lord. Amen.
