What is ?

a little history...

Couples for Christ (CFC) is a movement intended for the renewal and strengthening of Christian family life.

It is a community of Christian couples who have committed themselves to the Lord and to one another, so that they may grow into maturity as men and women of God and fulfill their primary vocation of raising up their families under the lordship of Jesus Christ and for the service of the Kingdom of God.

Couples for Christ is a work of Christ which raises up

Christian couples and establishes Christian families committed

to the work of evangelization and winning the world for Christ

through the power of the Holy Spirit.

It grows mainly through the establishment of localized

units in different parishes.

- started in June 1981

in Manila, Philippines,

- 16 couples attended the 1st CLP

It is highly evangelistic and grows rapidly, couples in all continents (except the Arctic and Antartica region).
