TO OUR BELOVED PARISH PRIESTS, PARISH COUNCILLORS, OR PARISHIONERS…
You are looking for a way to help families find enriching activities and meaningful, faith-building experiences for their families without overburdening your parish schedule! With your encouragement and direction, your parishioners can make CFM happen. CFM helps you form lay leaders.
The Christian Family Movement has the tools that you can give to potential lay leaders who can collaborate with you to launch any number of small groups in the CFM model.
VALUE OF CFM FOR PARISHES
- When families engage with one another, they encourage best use of their gifts. The natural fruit is often parish-based service.
- Both parishes and CFM groups have the same goal: forming missionary disciples of Jesus Christ.
- CFM can build your parish into a family of families.
- CFM materials are Catholic and are inclusive of mixed-church families. They are welcoming to couples and single parents, too.
HOW DO PARISHES GET STARTED WITH CFM?
- Contact the Diocese’s Officials for free help organizing CFM.
- Experienced CFM members can meet with you by phone, Zoom, or visit your parish in person.
- Identify a core group of parishioners who invite their friends to try CFM.
