The Couples for Christ (CFC), a Catholic organization intended for the renewal and strengthening of Christian family life saw the light of day in Milan in October 25, 1998. Membership in CFC begins upon completion of the Christian Life Program (CLP). Members are made part of a small cell group called a Household which meets weekly for encouragement and mutual support in their Christian life, the CFC Milan Chapter began to establish the family Ministries and now we have: 40 Kids for Christ (for children ages 4-12), 78 Youth for Christ (for children ages 13-21), 40 Singles for Christ (for single men and women ages 22-40), 124 Handmaids of the Lord (for widows, mature women, divorced women and single mothers), 20 Servants of the Lord (for widowers, mature single men, divorced men and single fathers) and 136 Couples (married couples).

In March 11, 2000, CFC was granted Vatican recognition as an International Association of the Faithful of the Pontifical Right, through the Pontifical Council for the Laity. In April 25, 2005, the Vatican confirmed CFC’s recognition and issued the definitive approval of its International Statutes.

In later years, in order to address the needs of the materially poor, social ministries were established gradually evolving into an umbrella organization which is Gawad Kalinga launched 2004 with 12 houses in Italian Village, and 1 house in European Village in Paranaque to help CFC members that are poor. The CFC also has the program ANCOP (Answering the Cry Of the Poor) and ADOP Scholar launched 2012 and supporting 3 students in Grades 8-12.

In April 2008, CFC Milan Chapter challenged its mission group by vigorously pursuing their global goals of Evangelization and Formation to other places like Padova, Mantova, Udine, Perdenone and Venice.

There’s a continuous CLP for SFC, Hold, Sold, Couples, Kids and Youth Camp once a year.
