Recently I did a post on ideas for NFP Awareness Week, which is coming up (are you ready?).  One of the suggestions was to start a Humanae Vitae Study Group. As a trained ENDOW facilitator I get these great newsletters (hint, hint–check it out) about what’s going on in the ENDOW world.

In the latest newsletter, There’s a couple things of interest related to NFP. First, there’s a great two page spread of Q&A on Humanae Vitae/ Family related topics. Second, they have a beautiful list of some of the fruits of the Humanae Vitae study in a parish,

“The following is an enthusiastic testimony that was submitted following the talk. It comes from an ENDOW facilitator who shares her observations about the ENDOW Study Guide on Humanae Vitae (Of Human Life)

My ENDOW group “lightly tread” into this study last fall. Out of nine women, the following occurred during the course of the study:

• One woman who gave up having a second child suddenly became pregnant and delivered a healthy baby boy.
• Two women who considered their families “complete” prior to the study, became pregnant with their fourth children.
• One woman who grieved the loss of her infant daughter and was scared to become pregnant again became pregnant and gave birth to a beautiful, healthy boy.
• One woman’s adoption process was completed by receiving a new baby while another woman’s adoption process progressed further than expected.

Humanae Vitae is alive and well within this group, and a new generation of Catholics has entered into our society thanks to ENDOW!
