Couples for Christ
Couples for Christ are a Catholic movement serving the renewal and strengthening of Christian family life. CFC couples commit themselves to the Lord and to one another so as to grow in maturity as men and women of God, and to fulfil their primary vocation of raising families grounded in Christian values, in the service and love of God. Their motto is: “Families in the Holy Spirit renewing the face of the earth.”
