Do you love Natural Family Planning? Teach it to others!
Please consider becoming an NFP teacher! We are currently experiencing an increase in NFP inquiries and class requests, but don't have enough active teachers to meet every need. We especially need candidates for:
- Spanish speaking teachers
- Dane, Rock, Green, Lafayette, Iowa, Marquette, and Green Lake counties
- Sympto-Thermal teachers
- Medical professionals (Physicians, Nurses, Pharmacists, PAs,etc.)
All you need is a desire to spread the good news about NFP and the motivation to complete initial training. Medical background is a bonus, and NFP medical professionals are always needed, but it is not necessary for teaching most methods. Single people are also encouraged to apply; for most methods, you do not have to be married to learn how to teach the method. For more information or to request an NFP Teacher Inquiry Packet, please contact the Diocesan Family Planning Coordinator, Alison Hetue.
BIG NEWS: The Diocese of Madison is sponsoring a Couple to Couple League (Sympto-Thermal) NFP Teacher Training weekend on November 8-10, 2013 at the Bishop O'Connor Center. Lodging is available free of charge for all couples that will teach in the Diocese of Madison (and at a reasonable rate for other couples). Space is limited. Contact the NFP Office today for more information or for application instructions!
