What's Happening
Natural Family Planning Awareness Week
The week of July 25 to 31, 2010 is Natural Family Planning Awareness Week which coincides with the anniversary of the papal encyclical Humanae Vitae on July 25th. Humanae Vitae articulates the Catholic beliefs on human sexuality, conjugal love and responsible parenthood. The dates also mark the feast of Saints Joachim and Anne, July 26, the parents of our Blessed Mother.
