Thank you to retiring Board Member: Edie Sickman

Fall 2023

Edie recalls first learning of CANFP while serving a lay counselor at the Sacramento Life Center: “CANFP was invaluable with its resources and supportive information”. As a strong advocate herself for natural family planning, she reports she “appreciated having professional tools to be able to provide to the young women who had never been given an opportunity to learn about their fertility cycle”. Her desire to see more women and couples benefit from knowing and living NFP, compelled her to accept an invitation to put her skills and experience in service on the Executive Board of CANFP. Over her three year term, CANFP has benefited from her organizational, administrative, and leadership skills, and her standards of excellence and accountability. She brought a statewide perspective, having worked for both the Diocese of Sacramento and the Diocese of San Diego, where she currently resides with her husband CANFP is blessed by, and grateful for, her generous service to the expansion of NFP throughout California, and look forward to continuing to benefit from her gifts, as an active CANFP member. Thank you Edie!

CANFP conducts varied outreach programs to the community at large, in addition to serving our members (NFP users, teachers, and advocates).

CANFP provides education programs tailored to the audience, not only on Natural Family Planning, but on the wide variety of topics related to it.

Programs can be continuing education for NFP Professionals, introductory information for a lay audience of youth or adults new to the topic, or specifically tailored to the interests of a professional audience, such as educators, physicians, or clergy. Content is faith based or secular, whichever is suitable for situation.

CANFP offers a variety of resources for those just discovering Natural Family Planning, as well as to meet the varied needs of our CANFP Members. Most resources are available to any visitors to our site. Some resources do ask you to register as a site user in order to access them, others are available only to CANFP Members.

CANFP statewide conferences, regional events offered in collaboration with local partners, events featuring CANFP speakers, or exhbit, as well as other events throughout the state of interest to our NFP community.  Come meet one of our experts at one of these events or book a speaker for your own upcoming event.

CANFP depends on the gifts, talents, and generosity of our members and supporters. The success of our mission depends on the collaboration of our members. Please consider contributing your time treasure and talent through CANFP to share the good news of NFP with the world! Both volunteer and contracted positions available.
