The National Council (NC) of Couples for Christ Australia (CFCA) had its first meeting for 2012 in Melbourne on the weekend of March 10 and 11. It was held at the home of Ed and Joh Cablao and all members of the National Council were present including Edwin Aguirre and Jay Simbag, the new members of the 7-man council.
Here’s the summary of the matters discussed:
Parish Retreats Update.
Hectorville in SA has the biggest number of participants – more than 80. This is the biggest number who reponded to Hectorville’s parish priest invitation to attend a parish retreat. Based on last year’s feedback from area heads on the rate in joining the CFCA, Adelaide will try a new approach this time – by grouping them into transition households, and inviting them to attend regular household meetings without first committing to join CFCA. Inviting them to attend a national conference such as the Auspac is also one way of providing an incentive to join the CFCA as future members.

Couples for Christ Australia (CFCA) held the National Leaders Congress at the newly-opened Our Lady of the Rosary Parish Gym in Waitara NSW on Friday – Sunday (Jan 27-28-29, 2012). It was a big leap towards the attainment of one vision, understanding of the direction of CFCA and what programme it can offer to the Catholic Church of Australia. It was a big step in the right direction of the community in Australia, said one of the delegates. Some 164 leaders and members from Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Taree-Newcastle, and Sydney had a great time of talks, discussions, planning, fellowship and renewal of friendships during the weekend. With the slogan for 2012 “Serve the Lord with gladness” taken from this year’s theme in Col. 3:16-17 as the inspirational guide, the delegates had the opportunity to share their experiences to fellow leaders, especially on the issues and challenges in regards to the implementation of CFC various programs in their respective areas.
