Couples for Christ
This worldwide movement for family life is not established in the Diocese of Nelson at this time, but the benefits for enriched family life are being explored. The Canadian part of the movement has a website: http://couplesforchristcanada.org/about-2 where additional information about goals of the organization and the branch organizations for kids, youth, singles, migrants, pro-life, the poor, etc. can be found.
L to R: Christina Putosek (CFC member pursuing religious vocation), Candy Subang (Singles for Christ), Miguel Javier (Youth for Christ), Bishop John Corriveau, Norma Borja (CFC Pro-life Coordinator, Migrants Coordinator, Handmaids of the Lord National Coordinator), Nick Borja (CFC Pastoral Formation National Coordinator)
Representatives of the movement, from the Vancouver Office of Couples for Christ, attended Priests' Study Days in March 2014 to familiarize diocesan priests and laity about the movement. They offered three brochures which are available here:
Brochure 1: on the organization itself
Brochure 2: on the Gift of Life Ministry
Brochure 3: on Migrant Ministry
