MADISON — “Natural Family Planning: Love, Mercy, Life, Opening the Heart of Marriage” is the theme of this year’s Natural Family Planning Awareness Week, a national educational campaign of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) to celebrate God’s vision for marriage and promote the methods of Natural Family Planning.

Natural Family Planning (NFP) is an umbrella term for the safe, natural, and effective methods of both achieving and avoiding pregnancy. NFP methods teach couples how to observe and interpret the woman’s signs of fertility and infertility.

Office of Worship offers workshops on Mass Propers

MADISON — At the Presbyteral Assembly in 2015, Bishop Robert C. Morlino made a request that pastors use the Mass Propers, specifically the Entrance and Communion antiphons, more frequently.

In response to that request, the diocesan Office of Worship is offering a two-hour workshop called “Understanding Mass Propers.” Priests, deacons, liturgists, musicians, and others involved in music and liturgy are encouraged to attend.
