What is CFC Gift of Life?
In response to the encyclical letter of Pope John Paul II, The Gospel of Life, CFC established the Gift of Life as a major ministry in order to raise consciousness among its members, as well as others, on the sacredness of life as a basic value rooted in the dignity of man.
CFC’s pro-life stance is enveloped in its life and culture through the promotion of natural family planning, fertility awareness and human sexuality, chastity education, advocacy and lobbying for pro-life legislation, among others.
Our Main Objectives
- To defend and advance the “culture of life.”

Prayer for Reverence For Life
“Almighty God, Giver of all that is good, we thank You for the precious gift of human life: for life in the womb, coming from Your creative power; for the life of children, making us glad with their freshness and promise; for the life of young people, hoping for a better world; for the life of people who are disabled, teaching us that every life has value; for the life of the elderly, witnessing to the ageless values of patience and wisdom. Like Blessed Mary, may we always say “YES” to your gift, may we defend it and promote it from conception to its natural end and bring us at last, O Father, to the fullness of eternal life in Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.”
