Couple to Couple League

Dear Friends in Parishes and Dioceses,
It’s a new year and Couple to Couple League and MyParish NFP have a new program to share with you to help Catholic women this Lent – Revelation90!
It’s a great program for Lent.
The Revelation90 challenge will kick off on Ash Wednesday, February 14, and end 90 days later on the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, May 13.
Drawing on the expertise of years of teaching NFP, CCL partnered with SoulCore and Temple+Table . Revelation90 is a 90 day program where women take a deep dive into their wellness habits to reveal their healthiest, happiest selves.
