The Art of Natural Family Planning® with CCL
Natural Family Planning is fertility awareness, the knowledge of a couple's fertility. It is a means of reading a woman's signs of fertility and infertility. The Couple to Couple League teaches three basic signs of fertility — temperature, mucus and cervix — and how to apply this knowledge through the Sympto-Thermal Method (STM) of NFP, which can be used both to achieve and to avoid or postpone pregnancy.
With the Couple to Couple League, the art of Natural Family Planning® goes beyond the method as we teach NFP within the moral constructs of the Magesterium of the Catholic Church, with an emphasis on the teachings of Pope John Paul II and the Theology of the Body. Couples learn of God's vision and plan for marriage and family, and how to live out their sexuality while upholding and respecting the dignity of each other and their union. A married couple's virtuousapplication of their fertility awareness knowledge, either to try to achieve a pregnancy or to postpone a pregnancy, is called responsible parenthood.
At OLPS the NFP classes are taught by trained volunteer couple, John and Angela Broussard. We have been using NFP for 22 years and teaching the method for over 20 years. A CCL NFP series consists of three classes spaced about one month apart. Supplemental classes for the postpartum and premenopause transitions—special times which require further instruction—are also offered. The greatest benefit of learning NFP through a class series is having the witness and experience of a CCL Teaching Couple, as well as their ongoing interaction, chart review, and consultation until each student couple is comfortable and confident in their personal NFP use. This follow-up continues after the series, if needed.
