Natural Family Planning
The Natural Family Planning (NFP) ministry is an exciting one as
class participation is growing, and more couples are coming to
live the beauty of the Catholic Church’s teaching on married
life. For much more information on NFP, please visit The Couple
to Couple League at: http://www.ccli.org/
Join our Ministry
If you use NFP in your marriage and would like to share your
enthusiasm and knowledge of NFP with others, we welcome you to
join our ministry. Please contact Troy & Julie Finney at
281-296-6014 or tpfinney@earthlink.net.
Take a Class
Our parish offers two ways for you to learn more about NFP: You
can come for a four-part class series where you learn what is
needed to start practicing NFP, or you can come for a one-time
information session. The information session serves as an
introduction to NFP and is a great preparation for taking the
four-part class series.
+ Class Series +
A Class Series consists of four classes spaced one month apart.
Learning couples attend classes together and chart their
fertility signs in the time between classes. The classes are
taught by a certified teaching couple who uses NFP in their own
marriage and has been professionally trained to teach the class
series. A modest fee is charged for the classes to cover the
cost of materials.
Class Series in The Woodlands/Spring area
The first meeting date of the class series is listed below.
Please contact the teachers for more information and to register
