Welcome to the Family and Life Office of the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Saskatoon website. We hope you enjoy the pages and posts focused on our Ukrainian Catholic beliefs and practices…
To promote and defend:
The sacredness of human life from
conception until natural death,
The sanctity of marriage between one man and one woman, as a call to a ‘vocation of love’ which is ‘free, total, faithful and fruitful’,
The family as the
domestic church and school of holiness,
Sacramental life grounded in the teachings and spirituality of the Church.
Natural Family Planning: a loving, life-giving choice
Natural Family Planning (NFP) is the general title for the scientific, natural and moral methods of family planning that can help married couples either achieve or postpone pregnancies.
NFP methods are based on the observation of the naturally occurring signs and symptoms
of the fertile and infertile phases of a woman’s menstrual cycle. No drugs, devices, or surgical procedures are used to avoid pregnancy.
Since the methods of NFP respect the love-giving (unitive) and life-giving (procreative) nature of the conjugal act, they support God’s design for married love! To visit our NFP info page click here.
