Projects
Natural Family Planning Outreach Group
In response to the many encyclicals calling physicians to help build a Culture of Like, the Catholic Medical Association, Orlando Guild, as a continuing act of service to the Office of Family Life, offers the following:
- To identify and network with other Catholic physicians, nurses, Natural Family Planning (NFP) instructors/witness couples, and Theology of the Body instructors in an effort to coordinate a cohesive system of fertility awareness that springs forth from the Theology of the Body.
- To create opportunities such as meetings and conferences, which will further medical learning in these areas.
- To create Deanery coordinators, and ultimately Parish coordinators who could assist Office of Family Life in the promotion and dissemination of fertility awareness classes and information.
- To offer Parish and Diocesan Priests access to physician and other speakers on multiple topics deemed necessary. These talks could range from the various methods of NFP/Fertiity Awareness to the potential harmful effects of oral contraception.
- To begin research on the beneficial aspects of fertility awareness in order to build up the body of literature in this important area.
- To promote NFP within the multiple ethnic groups of our Diocese with special attention to the provision of language appropriate materials.
- To enhance the marriage preparation curriculum within our Diocese.
We undertake this mission with gratitude and respectful compassion for those who are just beginning to see the beauty of theology of the body and realize the wisdom of Himanae Vitaw.
We remain Yours in Christ,
The physicians of the Catholic Medical Association Orlando Diocesan Guild
