- Natural Family Planning Awareness Week highlights the anniversary of the papal encyclical Humanae Vitae (July 25) which articulates Catholic beliefs about human sexuality, conjugal love, and responsible parenthood.
- Also marks the feast of Saints Joachim and Anne (July 26), the parents of the Blessed Mother.
- Pope Francis has designated that feast as World Grandparents Day, a fitting commemoration during National NFP Awareness Week!

"The logic of the total gift of self to the other involves a potential openness to procreation: in this way the marriage is called to even greater fulfillment as a family. Certainly the mutual gift of husband and wife does not have the begetting of children as its only end, but is in itself a mutual communion of love and of life." (John Paul II, Letter to Families, no. 12)
