Natural Family Planning is a term for natural methods used to achieve or avoid pregnancies based on the naturally occurring signs and symptoms of the fertile and infertile phases of a woman’s menstrual cycle. It can also be used to monitor a woman’s cycle for health. Learn more here: What is Natural Family Planning?
The cost of a course of NFP in the Diocese of Bismarck for engaged couples is $175 for all methods, except Couple to Couple League Sympto-Thermal Method.
Any of the NFP methods offered by our Diocese (Billings, Couple to Couple League, Creighton Model, or Marquette) will fulfill your pre-marriage NFP requirement. You MUST take a class with a Diocese of Bismarck instructor. Online classes with a Diocese NFP Instructor are allowed, but cannot be with any instructor outside of the Diocese of Bismarck.
