Introduction
CFC is basically a family life renewal ministry. In addition, CFC is doing a wholistic work for total human liberation. Thus, CFC is working to build the Church of the Home and the Church of the Poor. In line with this dual thrust, the continuing education and enrichment of the family is vital.
Our Vision
FEED as a welfare ministry of CFC seeks to develop and sustain love and respect for life, to uphold the dignity of every human and maintain the true vision of family in this changing world.
Our Mission
FEED Ministry has the following purposes:
- To serve the CFC community by providing specialized inputs and support for the CFC family life renewal ministry, by developing pro-life and pro-family attitudes among its members and by being a training ground for the continuous education and formation of family workers.
- To establish the programs and services of FEED in all areas where CFC is present.
- To provide pro-life and pro-family services to parishes, schools and other institutions.
Components of our work
FEED has various areas of service. The courses and activities contained therein may be distinguished from our regular formation courses in that they are not required courses for particular segments of the general membership, but rather are specialized offering for specific needs.
- Marriage Preparation Program (MPP)
- A pre-Cana course which aims to give engaged couples a clear understanding of marriage, their roles and responsibilities as husband and wife, the Church’s teachings on responsible parenthood and how they can get support to ensure a successful married life.
- FEED promotes MPP and gives formation and training to its volunteer speakers and service providers.
- Responsible Parenthood (based on Humanae Vitae)
- Teaches the couples to appreciate and use their gift of sexuality in having the right number of children according to God’s plans.
