Goa, July 20, 2025: The Diocesan Family Service Centre (DFSC) observed a special day dedicated to Natural Family Planning (NFP) at Our Lady of Fatima Church, Cotto Fatorpa. The celebration began with the Holy Eucharist in the morning, presided over by Fr. Albano Fernandes, Director of DFSC. In his homily, Fr.

Following the Eucharistic celebration, an informative session on Natural Family Planning and Healthy Parenting was conducted by Ms. Augusta Cardozo and Ms. Perpetua Souza, both trained faculty in NFP. Around 60 parishioners participated in the session, and each received a certificate of appreciation and participation.
