 TEEN FERTILITY APPRECIATION PROGRAM - MOTHER/TEENAGE DAUGHTER PROGRAM
This program offers a wonderful opportunity for mothers and daughters to be together as they learn about respect and appreciation for the gift of human fertility and sexuality as well as communication between parent and teen.  Topics include:  boy-girl relationships, self-respect, modesty, and why God saved sex for marriage.

The purpose of the program is to provide an atmosphere of love and learning to discuss the important topic of growing up and to establish a foundation for respect and continued communication between parent and child.  The program will be presented by the Paterson Diocese Office of Family Life and volunteer mothers who believe this special time should be shared by mothers and daughters together.
