In Humanae Vitae (On Human Life) Pope Paul VI asked for couples to find another way to help each other learn more natural ways of regulating their fertility cycles. In 1971 the Couple to Couple League (CCL) was founded to fill this need. The form of Natural Family Planning taught by the CCL is called the sympto-thermal method of birth regulation.
What are the benefits of
Natural Family Planning to Married Couples?
- Allows for the spacing of pregnancy and childbirth without the use of pills, injections, implants or other chemicals that have negative side effects for many women.
- Teaches women and men about their natural fertility, and opens their minds to the wonder of creation evidenced in their own person
- Helps couples to learn more about each other by practicing mutual respect, self-control, and cooperation in deciding when to have, or not have, children.
- Promotes stronger marriages through the practice of these virtues, resulting in fewer divorces and a more stable family life.
The course is offered twice a year, usually given in three sessions of three hours in length. Through the course, couples learn to understand their mutual fertility by observing the women’s fertility signs, such as temperature, mucus and other secondary signs, to determine the infertile and fertile signs to achieve or avoid pregnancy. When used properly this method is as effective as any artificial birth control available.
Please contact Peter and Tina Mazzella, Holy Name's CCL Training Couple, for more information.

February is dedicated to The Holy Family
Joseph got up, took the child and his mother by night, and departed to Egypt, and remained there until the death of Herod.
This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the
prophet, “Out of Egypt have I called my son.”
Matthew 2:13-15 RSV-SCE O most loving Jesus, Who by Thy surpassing virtues and the example
of Thy home life didst hallow the household in which Thou didst choose
to live while on earth, mercifully look down upon this family, whose
members, humbly prostrate before Thee, implore Thy protection. Remember
that we are Thine, bound and consecrated to Thee by a special devotion.
Protect us in Thy mercy, deliver us from danger, help us in our
necessities, and impart to us strength to persevere always in the
imitation of Thy Holy Family, so that, by serving Thee and loving Thee
faithfully during this mortal life, we may at length give Thee eternal
praise in heaven.
O Mary, dearest Mother, we implore thy assistance, knowing that thy divine Son will hearken to thy petition.
And do thou, most glorious patriarch, St. Joseph, help us with thy
powerful patronage, and place our petitions in Mary's hands, that she
may offer them to Jesus Christ. Amen. |
