"I have come to give Life, life to its fullest."
- John 10:10
In response to the encyclical letter of St 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.
CFC proclaims God and defends life everywhere from the home to the workplace to all kinds of people.
"Our goal is, simply stated: we seek a Canada in which every unborn child is protected in law and welcomed in life. Legal reform -- which we must work to foster through the political process, we are fortunate to enjoy in a democracy -- and a spiritual / cultural renewal must both take place if Canada is to experience a new birth of freedom ordered to goodness."
- The Most Reverend J. Michael Miller, CSB
Archbishop of Vancouver

"Have no fear. The outcome of the battle for life is already decided ... You, too, must feel the full urgency of the task ... Woe to you if you do not succeed in defending life ... This is no time to be ashamed of the Gospel. It is the time to preach it from the rooftops."
- St John Paul II
