The Family is a Gift programme, initiated by Couples for Christ (CFC), is dedicated to cherishing the essence of family by promoting Christian values and a lifestyle aligned with them.

In collaboration with the Family Life ministry of the Church of St Francis Xavier, the organising team extends a warm invitation to couples to participate in a series of engaging talks and workshops.

These sessions delve into growing concerns and challenges that impact the harmony of contemporary marriages and families.

Acknowledging the family as God’s unique masterpiece and truly a gift that allows us to experience God’s overflowing love, we are called to steadfastly empower, fortify, and safeguard it at all costs.

The initial two sessions of the Family is a Gift programme, conducted in March, commenced with strategies for cultivating a healthy family dynamic and emphasised the significance of establishing a family vision. Subsequent talks will explore various pertinent subjects such as navigating relationships with in-laws, managing marital finances, fostering effective communication in intimacy, and more.

Presently, the participants consist of 10 couples, among them members of the Family Life Team of the Catholic Ministry for the Deaf (CMfD). The next sessions are scheduled as follows:

April 28 - Happy Spouse, Happy House

May 12 - In Highs and In Laws

May 26 - 10 Things to Do after I Do

June 9 - S.O.S Spend or Save

June 23 - Communication in Intimacy

The programme welcomes all Catholic couples to participate in any or all of the sessions, and there is no admission fee. For further information, please contact the SFX Family Life Ministry team: BG Chin/Wendy Chin at 016-8317287.
