Come to the Celebration

by CANFP

It is with great joy and excitement that I invite all to attend our conference this summer in San Francisco: Male and Female He Created Them.

We have planned an amazing two day conference to unite our members throughout the state, and serve the community, in what may be the best conference ever held in California celebrating marriage, stewardship of the body, and the gift of Natural Family Planning. We have an incredible line up of speakers, many of whom are featured in this current newsletter and the next. During the conference, the many facets of stewardship of the body will be explored, from the biological, social, psychological, environmental and spiritual viewpoints. All together, we will celebrate the great beauty of the human person as God created us, male and female.

It’s been awhile since we’ve had a statewide conference, as over the past few years we have focused on multiple, smaller, regional conferences, and clergy and seminarian education. But, at the encouragement of Archbishop Cordileone, we have speakers coming from around the world to draw us together, and to encourage, uplift, and challenge us all. It will be a great time to network with people from around the state. We will also have breakout sessions for teachers, clergy and physicians, as well as those less familiar with the topic, to address more specific challenges of promoting the culture of life in our unique arenas.

So come, come to the celebration of love and life, be inspired, and together we can set the state on fire with the joy of knowing we were all created with perfect, beautifully complex, precision. In our bodies, male and female, we reflect the great love of the author of life.
