Natural Family Planning
Modern Methods of Natural Family Planning (NFP) are versatile and is usable in any stage of a woman’s reproductive life; (regular, irregular cycles, breast feeding etc.) to either achieve or avoid pregnancy. It is based upon the couple’s own knowledge of their naturally occurring cyclic phases of fertility and infertility. Natural Family Planning is not contraception, it offers high reliability, morally acceptable and is a true means of shared family planning in which couples value, respect and understand their combined fertility.
Diocese of San Jose Fertility Care specializes in the Creighton Model System (family planning that’s completely natural). The Creighton Model System of Natural Family Planning offered through the Diocese of San Jose is also highly beneficial for those couples facing infertility concerns.

I live out of state but would like to get married here in San José. I was informed you give marriage preparation classes, how and where can I get registered?
We do not provide marriage preparation classes. We can only advise you to see your parish priest/marriage coordinator (who is supposed to give you and your fiancé the marriage preparation). Depending on the requirements of that state – then ask the parish Priest in San José if he will accept the out of state requirements.
