We praise and thank God for calling us by name & for all the blessings & graces He had given through the years which enabled us to follow His examples and to spread His love and Good News.
We are also very grateful to our CFC community for the great formation teaching tracks, inspirations and encouragement and the many opportunities to SERVE God and neighbour(s).
