A touchpoint has consistently appeared in the course of Jenny Uebbing 's writing career. Over the past 10 years, Jenny Uebbing has covered a wide range of topics on her popular blog, Mama Needs Co• ee: the joys and challenges of motherhood, travel, style, liturgical seasons, spirituality, and more. But she consistently returned to one subject: natural family planning. Whenever she was invited to speak publicly, that was the topic she was asked to speak about. In 2017, the topic took on renewed urgency. She posted a guest commen- tary about the di‡ culty of faithfully living out Natural Family Planning (NFP), and a fl ood of reade r com- ments ensued. So, Uebbing turned to her national audience to ask a seem- ingly straightforward question: What do you need? It was a question her audience was eager to answer. A woman named Kathryn wrote: "My gut reaction to the question of what we (my husband and I) need to keep living NFP is literally anything. We have no more NFP contact in the arch- diocese, no priestly support, very few families at Mass, and complete silence from the parish about anything related to Christian marriage (and) sexuality." Another reader responded: "Coming from a place of infertility rather than hyper-fertility, my husband and I could use more reassurance from the Church that just because we don't have any kids, we're A Solemn Promise » Reparations program for survivors opening soon Kinship Caregivers » Ministry helps grandparents cast into parenting roles Black Catholic Ministry » New director hopes to continue outreach Amazon Synod »• Amazonian region prepares to welcome bishops VOLUME XCV - NO. 17 | 119 YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE GOSPEL | SEPTEMBER 28-OCTOBER 11, 2019 www.DenverCatholic.org | @DenverCatholic | www.facebook.com/DenverCatholic | www.instagram.com/DenverCatholic | DenverCatholic@archden.org 11 Days In the Footsteps of Jesus HOLY LAND PILGRIMAGE with Fr.
