PARISH NURSE MINISTRY & NFP

Sts. Anne & Joachim Catholic Church has six parish nurses.  The parish nurses are available to give spiritual support, answer medical questions, make referrals, and make home visits to bring Communion to the sick and home bound.  Our office hours are Tuesday mornings 9-11:30 a.m. and by appointment.

The parish nurse coordinator is responsible for coordinating the Catholic Masses and Communion Services at the nursing homes and assisted living facilities within our parish boundaries.  The parish nurses also coordinate the Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion to the Sick and Home Bound.  Our parish nurses are Cheryl Jones, RN; Linda Beare, RN; Colleen DuBord, RN; Renee Johnson, RN; coordinator Kris Hintz, RN; and Karen Kamrowski, RN.

Please feel free to contact us at 235-5757.

Natural Family Planning

“Love one another as I have loved you.” Marriage, the marital embrace, and fertility are sacred gifts from God. Married couples are called to love each other as Christ loves. True love which leads to freedom is always open to life! Where there is love, there is life!

• NFP is 100% natural, 98% effective, and has no side effects!
  
• NFP allows an openness to new life with each act of love.
  
• Couples learn biological signs of fertility to achieve or postpone a pregnancy.
  
• NFP is a holistic approach to one’s sexual health.
  
• Natural family planning is a wonderful way to plan your family. Fertility is a gift and not a disease that needs treatment through medication.

The Marquette System of NFP is taught by parish nurses and other volunteers trained to teach the Marquette System.  It was developed at Marquette University School of Nursing - Institute for NFP. Fertility education services are available for married or engaged couples wishing to know how to live with and appreciate their combined fertility.

New classes are added often, and personal sessions can also be scheduled to meet your needs.  To sign up for lessons or with any questions, please contact one of our instructors:
