This site is for diocesan leadership working in Marriage and Natural Family Planning. We created this site for you who like what we do in Phoenix and want to bring our methods into your Diocese.

Take time to click through each of the seven sections that explain our process.  There’s a temptation to click on resources and see what there is to download, watch, or print, but the fundamentals of our process help put these tools into right context.

As you read through this webpage, you may see some unfamiliar terms.  Here are helpful definitions:

• “Find Us Ready, Lord” is the strategic plan that we used to prepare staff and volunteers in the Diocese of Phoenix for the then-upcoming requirement that all engaged couples learn Natural Family Planning as a part of marriage preparation.
• “Covenant of Love” is the 3-year implementation plan for Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted’s comprehensive marriage preparation policy that launched in 2010, which addressed preparation for engaged couples, the needs of existing marriages, and remote marriage preparation for youth.
