"The dates of Natural Family Planning Awareness Week highlight the anniversary of the papal encyclical Humanae Vitae (July 25) which articulates Catholic beliefs about human sexuality, conjugal love and responsible parenthood. The dates also mark the feast of Saints Joachim and Anne (July 26), the parents of the Blessed Mother." From the USCCB website.How cool is it that there is a week dedicated to NFP?! Check your local diocese website to see if they have any events or workshops :)
And I challenge us all to say a prayer for all couples considering using NFP and for those who use it to share their stories and knowledge with as many people as possible!

Such a cool thing to have a week dedicated to NFP. I always love mentioning it to people who have NO idea what it is. Ladies always seem genuinely intrigued by the fact not everyone uses contraception and you're able to avoid/achieve pregnancy naturally!
