Synopsis

How does NFP fit into our lives in the context of modern day contraceptives ? Does it work ? Why should I consider it at all ?  Come and listen to why NFP is our call to a Catholic way of life and how it has become even more relevant in the 21st century. Feel free to share and question in this conversation with a Catholic Gynae and our NFP community.  Open to couples of all ages. It’s not just about  mucus. It’s about living out Faith

Speaker :  Fr Luke Fong ( Marriage Encounter )

Synopsis

Many of us struggle when it comes to handling the pains that necessarily come with life. A Christian’s share of suffering and affliction is no less than one who is not a follower of Christ. However a Christian does have an advantage over others when facing such trials because of Jesus Christ. If you have not understood why, you probably have not understood Christianity.

Speaker :   Fr Johnson Fernandez   ( Marriage Retorno )
