Church aims at natural family planning
A priest serving a parish in Kupang, capital of the predominantly Catholic province of East Nusa Tenggara, has maintained that local Church will refocus on natural family planning after hundreds of Catholic mothers underwent tubectomy surgeries at a state-run hospital.
The Kupang Hospital organized free tubectomy surgeries on May 31 and June 1. About 400 Catholic mothers from different parishes took part in the local government-run program.
“The Catholic Church will introduce again the natural family planning program which has been forgotten by local people,” Father Johanes Rusae, an assistant priest at St. Joseph Church in Naikoten, said.
He said that local Church has worked together with the province’s National Board for Residential Affairs and Family Planning (BKKBN) in introducing the natural family planning program.
