In 2008, the 40th
anniversary of HUMANAE VITAE, the encyclical of Pope Paul
VI on the regulation of birth, July 25, 1968, we are invited to
remember his prophetic words and re-examine how the evil of
Contraception continues to devalue sexuality, married love,
responsible parenthood and ultimately human society.
“It is
the whole man and the whole mission to which he is called
that must be considered:
both its natural, earthly aspects and its supernatural,
eternal aspects.”(HV 7)

I am the co‑ordinator of this Service, which is an activity of the Catholic
Medical Guild, Catholic Nurses' Guild and the Family Life Society, and I am very happy that you are
interested in learning Natural Family Planning.
We have been promoting NFP
as a way of life since the early 70's because NFP is the best way of Family Planning. Besides promoting self‑awareness and self‑reliance, NFP is also couple orientated
and promotes sharing and joint responsibility in family planning.
Unlike artificial methods
which are one‑sided, NFP will cultivate intimacy in your marriage and enrich it, since you will need to practise the same qualities that will make your marriage itself a
success ‑ such as respect, patience, fidelity, regard, self‑mastery, understanding, consultation and love.
Since it is natural, it is
free from health risks, and if the rules are kept, NFP has been shown to be an effective method in various world trials, including the World Health Organisation trial which was
completed in 5 countries in 1981.
Besides using NFP to space
your children, you can also use it to become pregnant. Unlike contraceptives, NFP does not damage your fertility, and allows you to easily identify the most likely days when
you can become pregnant.
In these times, when
contraceptives and abortion are threatening the family and even the existence of society, NFP offers a way of Peace.
I have enclosed the list of
Centres where NFP is taught and the times we are available. I hope that you will commit yourself to adopting NFP. You and your partner are very welcome to come and see
us. I know you will never regret it.
Yours Sincerely
Ian Snodgrass
