By observing physical signs and symptoms that change with hormonal changes throughout a woman’s menstrual cycle, modern NFP methods can be used fairly accurately to predict a woman’s fertility.

Sunday, April 22, 4:00 PMSt. Mary’s Cathedral Choir honors longtime cathedral cantor Stephen Walsh who died Jan. 8. Walsh, 61, had been leading song at the cathedral for almost 25 years. “I love being a cantor at St. Mary’s Cathedral,” he told Catholic San Francisco in April 2017, noting he wanted Mass-goers to feel “at home” at the cathedral. The Mass was very close to Walsh’s heart. “I love to lead the music, to sing the Psalms, to be at the liturgies, to be a part of the team that keeps the liturgy flowing smoothly and effortlessly,” he said. “It is called the celebration of the Eucharist for a reason and I love to be a part of the celebration with enthusiasm.” 4 p.m., (415) 567-2020, ext. 213, www.stmarycathedralsf.org.
