ALL ARE INVITED TO GATHER FOR THIS MOMENT OF GRACE
 From the Foreword by Archbishop Charles J. Chaput:
"Parents who pray together teach by the way they live that God is real; that He is present, listening and eager to be part of our lives. Helping children learn the habit of prayer thus becomes one of the most important lessons a family can share.�

Saint Francis Hospital Auditorium 5959 Park Avenue The Mother/Daughter Programs explore God’s special gift of human fertility and the beauty and wonder of God’s plan for growing up and becoming a woman. Topics include: the changes in a young woman’s body as it prepares for motherhood; the onset of ovulation and subsequent menstrual periods; the functions of the female reproductive system; the sacredness of human life; the virtue of chastity; and a question and answer segment. Healthy dating ideas with a strong emphasis on chastity and reverence for our sexuality are also discussed with the older girls. It is good to come to both programs at the age appropriate time for each girl since the older girls’ program is an extension of the first one. The purpose of the programs is to provide an atmosphere of love and learning to discuss the important topic of growing up and to establish a foundation for continued communication between parent and child. The programs are presented by Natural Family Planning Teachers who will emphasize respect, understanding and appreciation for God’s gifts.
*Girls younger than 10 who are already developing and showing signs of puberty are also welcome to attend. Discount fee is $25.00 per family (non-refundable) if RECEIVED 6 days PRIOR to selected program. Within 6 days of each program, the fee is $30.00 per family (non-refundable.)
(If you have daughters in both age groups and need to attend both programs, the cost is $40.00 per family for both programs if RECEIVED by March 16, After March 16, the fee is $45.00 per family.)
