Natural Family Planning (NFP) is an umbrella term for methods used to achieve/avoid pregnancies based on the naturally occurring signs and symptoms of the fertile and infertile phases of a woman's menstrual cycle. Learn more here: What is Natural Family Planning?
Click on one of our NFP methods for method-specific information and instructor profiles:
As of January 1, 2019 the cost of a full course of NFP in the Diocese of Bismarck for engaged couples will be $175 in all methods other than the Couple to Couple League Sympto-Thermal Method. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Each of our NFP methods (Billings, Couple to Couple League, Creighton, Marquette, or SymptoPro) will fulfill your pre-marriage requirement. You MUST take a class with a certified instructor of the method in our diocese: ONLINE and LIVE ON-LINE classes are NOT permitted at this time to fulfill the requirement.
If you would like to visit with someone about NFP, please contact Tara Brooke, Director of Family Ministry, 701-204-7209 or tbrooke@bismarckdiocese.com
