Knowing couples struggling with infertility who decide to adopt, but find the associated costs burdensome, the group decided to institute this fund. Applications for the funds are available through the Archdiocesan Office of Natural Family Planning. For more information, please contact us at 314 997-7576 or e-mail melissa.barnason@mercy.net .

NaPro Technology for Women & Infertility - Natural Family Planning has other applications in addition to avoiding a pregnancy or spacing children. For example, couples who struggle with infertility have been successful in achieving pregnancies when artificial reproductive technologies have failed them. Women who suffer from premenstrual syndrome, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, migraine headaches and other reproductive health problems also have been helped.
