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) 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 the diocese at 701-222-3035.
