Events: Faith Education

• Couples for Christ (CFC), formally the Couples for Christ Global Mission Foundation, Inc., is a Catholic organization intended for the renewal and strengthening of Christian family life. 
• CFC is highly evangelistic driven by its global vision of “Families in the Holy Spirit Renewing the Face of the Earth” and sustained by its core values of “Pro-God, Pro-Family, Pro-Life and Pro-Poor.” Today, CFC is in more than 100 countries.
• CFC provides a continuing program of pastoral and spiritual formation which includes Church teachings, Scriptures, Christian relationships, recollections and retreats. We are one with the Church and regularly seek her guidance through our Spiritual Director. Its members support their parish priests and are available for parish services. CFC is a working model for the development of Basic Ecclesial Communities and can hasten the formation of a strong and vibrant parish community.

Course Description  

The three week course has been designed especially for bishops, priests, religious and laity who have an interest in serving Latinos and Hispanic ministry. Our program provides the student with the necessary skills to communicate in Spanish, knowledge of the Hispanic environment in daily life situations, and a pastoral dimension geared toward Hispanic ministry. For over 30 years, the course has successfully served bishops, priests, religious brothers and sisters, directors of religious education, and laity who serve the Church in very diverse ministries.

Program participants will reach a good level of Spanish language communication through the acquisition of basic language skills and grammar. Important vocabulary is taught based on the needs of common conversation and Hispanic pastoral work. Various cultural experiences as well as daily prayer and Eucharist are an integral part of the course. A study of the Hispanic presence in the United States and how Hispanic/Latino Ministry has developed over  the years is also a component of the program. 

This film premier event will include a video introduction from Executive Producer Roma Downey, followed by a discussion on the plight of persecuted Christians in the Middle East.
