Do you love Natural Family Planning?

If you have, 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 clients
  • Sympto-thermal methods (Couple to Couple League & Northwest )
  • Medical environments (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! For more information, contact the Diocesan Family Planning Coordinator, Jessica Smith.
