Statement Philosophy of CFC
1. WE BELIEVE in marriage as an
indissoluble institution as taught by our
Lord Jesus Christ (Mt 19:6). That God
created marriage primarily for love
between man and woman, and for the
procreation and proper rearing of children.
Statement Philosophy of CFC
2. WE BELIEVE that God created
man and wife with equal personal worth
and dignity. That God ordained order in the
family by giving the man the role as head
of the family and the woman as helpmate
and support, which best expresses their
complementarity.
Statement Philosophy of CFC
3. WE BELIEVE in the inalienable and
irreplaceable right and responsibility of
parents to educate their children. That
children need to be educated in essential
human and Christian values for them to
become responsible and mature members
of society.
Statement Philosophy of CFC
4. WE BELIEVE that the family in
practicing the gospel message shares in the
life and mission of the Church -- through
prayers, evangelization and service to men.
We uphold and defend the rights of the family
as proclaimed in the chapter on family rights
(Familiaris Consortio).
Statement Philosophy of CFC

5. WE BELIEVE that Christian family


renewal can best be achieved by inviting
Jesus to be the Lord of our homes and by
allowing the power of the Holy Spirit to
lead our family lives and through the full
use of all charismatic gifts at our disposal.
Statement Philosophy of CFC
And lastly,

6. WE BELIEVE in the Maternal


Mediation and Intercession of Our Blessed
Mother Mary in bringing us all closer to her
Son Jesus. Devotion to Mary leads us tot
devotion to Jesus that will lead to our
Santification.
