Catholic Women & Couples NFP [CWCNFP] is a lay-Catholic organization which teaches, without charge, Fertility Awareness and Natural Family Planning [NFP] to Adult Catholic Women  and Catholic Couples . Adult Catholic Women must be 18 or older. For Catholic Couples, either the man or the woman [or both] must be Catholic or registered in an RCIA program

Our mission is to assist Catholic Couples and Adult Catholic women to prepare for and to live virtuous marriages in full harmony with Catholic Church teaching. We focus on the virtue of chastity. We teach God’s plan for married couples. We teach that Fertility Awareness and Natural Family Planning is the superior alternative to contraceptives. We believe that Catholics should be informed on how to attain the happiness and joy of living a chaste family life without charge.

Meet John Fitzgerald, founder of the St. Augustine Foundation and Catholic Couples NFP. The St. Augustine Foundation believes that Catholics should not be charged to be taught how to attain the happiness and joy of living a life in accordance with Church teaching.
