In an effort to support the wonderful work of the priests and parishes of the Diocese of Steubenville, the following resources have been provided for your use. Please be sure to contact us if you are in need of other resources that we might be able to provide. 

Natural Family Planning Awareness Week is a national educational campaign sponsored by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). The dates of Natural Family Planning Awareness Week highlighted the anniversary of the papal encyclical Humanae Vitae (July 25) which articulates Catholic beliefs about human sexuality, conjugal love and responsible parenthood.  The dates also marked the feast of Sts. Joachim and Anne (July 26), the parents of the Blessed Mother.
