Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary  

Christians have always seen Mary as a shortcut, a path which shortens the spiritual journey to reach God. In Couples for Christ, we recognize our continuing need for personal spiritual growth in that journey and we strive to help fill that need, as our primary goal. As part of our PFO strategy of promoting personal spiritual growth of members, we encourage active participation in the sacramental and devotional life of the Church. Thus, along with devotion to Jesus in the Holy Eucharist, a true devotion to Mary our Blessed Mother is essential. It is very timely that our CFC theme for 2012 is taken from “The Magnificat.” What better way to receive the blessings from that theme than for each individual member to consecrate himself / herself to Jesus through the Blessed Virgin Mary.

 With many challenges on the planning and preparation, CFC NorCal’s celebrated 20 years of God’s Blessings at St. Timothy’s Church in 1515 Dolan Ave. San Mateo, California.

 Before sunrise, on a cold Saturday morning of May 12, 2012, the hardworking SFC Service Team started setting up the stage, registration booths, sound system, signage & direction, and you name it, everything to make this celebration a memorable one. As the cars came in, CFC & SOLD volunteers directed the traffic and parking.

 Twenty years ago on May 14, 1992 CFC NorCal was officially begun at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Milpitas with six couples were ( Boni & Baby Capuyan, Rolly & Nila Fajilan, Cris & Celia Nazareno, Loy & Mely Sagrado, Carl & Solly Sinsay and Larry & Lorna Tamayo). To-date 3 couples (Rolly & Nila Fajilan, Cris & Celia Nazareno and Carl & Solly Sinsay) remain in CFC which now totals 2434 adult members, 550 CFCY, and 400 KFC.

 The celebration started with a Praise & Worship led by Bro Jun Faustino at 9AM. This was followed by the Opening Remarks of Bro. Eric Villanueva, CFCUSA National Director, urging CFC Norcal to continue to be ON FIRE for the Lord!  He went on to say…”CFC Norcal now stands at the threshold of greater things to come.”  Beyond 20 years, he sees a vibrant & dynamic CFC Norcal vigorously spreading the blessings of evangelization not just in the Bay Area, Central Valley (including Fresno) and Sacramento, but all over the world!” He urged CFC Norcal to offer to God all the works over the past 20 yrs and to recommit to God.  His parting words were: ”CFC is a way of life, designed by God to help you become all you can be.”  

To our beloved CFC Family,

A pleasant Sunday to all!

It's been a week since we were filled with the Spirit and His presence well felt during the MES on April 28, 2012 - so fitting for the celebration of the Good Shepherd weekend.

We are in awe of His wisdom when we were led to start with a youth camp then a program designed for couples. To date, our youth in GV are actively attending their monthly assembly and our participants are mostly parents of those youth. While the seminar was being conducted, the youth were having their covenant orientation. Undeniably, that was God's awesome plan!
