Mother/Daughter Programs PASTORAL SERVICES > NFP > M/D PROGRAMS Saint Francis Hopspital 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. 2013 Mother/Daughter Programs will be scheduled for March, 2013 at Saint Francis Hospital Auditorium.
