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.

The office of Natural Family Planning (NFP) is open to all even though our focus is on engaged couples.  Generally, classes begin with an Introductory session.  Couples learn NFP best if they follow up with 3 classes after that, spaced once a month.  Hence it is recommended that couples begin the NFP class 6 months or earlier before their wedding.  However, they can still finish the classes after the wedding.

Our NFP teachers are volunteers so our office is open mainly some evenings and Saturdays.  Registering online is recommended as is leaving a voice mail message and clear phone numbers for returning calls.

The attached gift certificate is our gift for your wedding.  Learning NFP is your gift to yourselves as well as the Catholic Church’s investment in your life time sacramental marriage.

Statistics have shown that couples who use Natural Family Planning have a 5 % divorce rate compared to 50% with those using contraceptive methods which are abortive in their actions or create barriers in the couple’s relationship.
