| Natural Family Planning is a ministry in the diocese of El Paso to educate Catholics in regards to the teachings of the Catholic Church on birth regulation and fertility appreciation through the scientifically proven natural methods of family planning which are 99.6% effective. We believe that in sacramental marriage, the love between husband and wife are a reflection of the love between Christ and His Church. This love is both manifested and nurtured by their union which is free, total, faithful and fruitful thus calling couples to responsible parenthood. |
