Christian Family Movement (CFM)

Our Mission
To enhance and strengthen Christian family relationships and solidarity and to be evangelized and to evangelize families and communities.

Our History
The CFM was formally organized on January 1976. Three couples Led by Fred and Ida Pagulayan, who were formerly CFMers from another Parish, thought of organizing CFM in the Good Shepherd Parish. With the energetic and able guidance of Msgr. Fidelis Limcaco, it has grown into an active organization playing an important role in the founding of the Parish. Being a family movement, CFM has blossomed into a full pledged Parish ministry and its family life seminars have become a parish program. The CFM conducts and sponsors the following programs:

1. Sons & Daughters Encounter
2. Self Encounter
3. Sweethearts Engaged Encounter
4. Pre Cana – for couples getting married
5. Tipanan
6. Marriage Encounter – now under PME
7. Family Communications
8. Single Parents

This is a well-rounded program which starts from birth up to death. Annually, CFM sponsors a Lenten Recollection. For the last two years, the CFM Foundation has been giving transportation assistance to indigent but deserving Elementary and Secondary students and two seminarians of the parish. This organization is always a part of every parish activity, but above all, since it is a family movement, its charism was to answer the call of Pope John Paul II, reflecting the crying needs of the times, the challenge for Christian families to evangelize other families and to be families for others for the success of the nation is through the way of the family.
