NFP education should meet or exceed the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops (USCCB) Standards for NFP ministry. An approved NFP class should be 1) an approved scientific evidence-based NFP method that is 2) led and taught by an instructor certified in the method in accordance with Catholic teaching. To meet OIC standards, based on feedback from our Priests, past engaged couples, and Certified NFP instructors, real-time instruction (in-person or live online) provides the best experience for learning a method. As NFP is an extension of your marriage preparation, we desire to help couples become proficient and secure in using NFP. OIC wants to provide you with the best formation for a joyful and successful marriage.
