to know our faith and share it with others, to continue to grow spiritually with respect for the sacraments, to celebrate the liturgy and the Holy Eucharist as the center of our Christian life, to live by truth and love, to serve those in need, to teach by example, and thereby strengthen and inspire our Parish family in accordance with the Roman Catholic Church.
Reminder
Masses will be at the Chapel of St. John Nepomucene, until church renovations are completed.

How can you learn NFP?
Fortunately, there are many wonderful, highly effective methods of NFP to choose from, whether you are engaged, newly married or have been married for years! NFP is as effective as the most popular birth control methods available. In addition to charting signs and symptoms, there are several apps to help chart and devices to test hormone levels. To help you choose which method is best for you and your lifestyle, take this quiz by Natural Womanhood to help you decide: https://naturalwomanhood.org/find-a-fam-instructor/choose-a-method/. For additional information on methods, classes offered in your area, and NFP in general, please visit our diocesan website at https://www.diobelle.org/NFP.
