The art of Natural Family Planning is based on an awareness of a woman's fertility. It's medically safe, 99% effective, very low cost, often has a positive effect on the couple's marriage, and is morally acceptable. All married and engaged couples are encouraged to learn the method. It is a marriage preparation requirement for engaged couples in the Diocese of Phoenix.

Group instruction is offered through a four-session course, held one evening a month from 7:00-9:30pm. Individual follow-up is done at the same time and on-going as needed until client autonomy is established. Classes here at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel are taught by Couple to Couple League certified NFP instructors, John and Alison Oertle. Registration and payment of the one time fee of $135 is taken care of on the Couple to Couple League international website. Course materials are then mailed to the couple prior to the first class.
