The Father/Son Program explores God's special gifts of human sexuality and fertility as well as the goodness and wonder of His plan for growing up and becoming a man.  It is for young men between the ages of 12 - 14 years.  All young men must be accompanied by a parent or other supportive adult.

 

Topics include:

 

        Physical changes in a young man’s body as it prepares for

                      fatherhood

              Emotional changes

              Acceptance of responsibility

              Functions of the male and female reproductive systems     

              Sacredness of human life

              Appreciation and reverence for the gift of sexuality

              Virtue of chastity

              Healthy dating relationships with an emphasis on friendship

              Confidential Q & A

      
The purposes of the program are to provide an atmosphere of love and learning, to discuss the important topic of growing up, and to establish a foundation for continued communication between parent and child. The program is presented by Natural Family Planning teachers who emphasize respect, understanding and appreciation for God’s gifts.
