KITCHEN EQUIPMENT

Three of the appliances in the kitchen--the convection oven, the dishwasher and the 10 burner stove -- have been replaced. Thanks to all those who contributed time and money to the effort.

NATURAL FAMILY PLANNING
Discover a natural way to postpone or achieve pregnancy...the art of Natural Family Planning is based on an awareness of a woman's fertility. It is medically safe, 99% effective, low cost, most often has a positive effect on the couple's marriage, and is morally acceptable to all major religions.

Parishioners from St. Matthew have been taking Natural Family Planning classes from The Couple to Couple League (CCL) since the early 1970s. CCL is 1) endorsed by the Minneapolis - St. Paul Archdiocese, 2) approved by the National Council of Catholic Bishops (NCCB), 3) recognized by the Vatican as authentic Lay Apostolate, and 4) a normal part of marriage preparation in numerous parishes and several US Diocese.
