“Bring everyone back. This topic is needed”
How Will This Impact Your Priestly Vocation?
“Being more readily able and confident to help women in these situations and see where beauty can be found in the struggle.”
“CANFP is doing a tremendous service to the Church by helping spread the Gospel of Life, and I pray that throughout my formation I may continuously lean on their resources that I may be more knowledgeable and eventually equipped to communicate them to all I will be shepherding.”
What Impacted You The Most?
“How to preach/speak about NFP. Deeper respect for life.’
“The immense knowledge that all the presenters shared and all the many resources to bring healing to others.”
“Personal witness of the doctors and the married couple was perhaps the most striking—the concepts we discussed, while inherently true and good in themselves, carry more weight because of the lived experience of the people who have come across it, who may have opposed it, and now are believing and teaching it.”
