• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Please keep my oldest son, Patrick, in your prayers. He is losing his apartment and due to medical conditions has difficulties with just getting through the day. Anyone in Boston who could help, message me please.

I will certainly ask Saint Raphael for his prayers. It looks like he has three blocked arteries, and two can be fixed with stents, the third one can't be fixed and he'll just have to live with it as is. I wish that his health was my sole concern, but I am more worried about his soul at this point. He fell away from the Church years ago. I asked him today if he would like me to call the priest in his city and have him visit, and while he objected less than I expected, he still didn't want me to. After Pascha I will make a trip out to see him myself, but the blockages in his physical heart are minor compared to the blockages in his spiritual heart. I want so badly to see him reconciled to the Church, and would be happy to do whatever I need to for that to happen, but he has to want it, and right now he's not there yet.

if you can, try to get to the Antiochian Village so you can actually pray at his grave.

Please pray for :

My wife Andrea who has rediscovered her faith although is still a baby Christian that she continues to grow, and that she gets either strength to endure her illnesses or else receives healing.

Myself that God gets me out of the hellish job I am in and into work that I love.

And that we both get settled in a really strong church - no matter which tradition it is in.

My daughter Sophie (almost 20 now) that I've not seen in 5 years - that we are reconciled and that she rediscovers God and gets healed from confusion, anger, pain, suicide and confused sexuality.

Thank you & blessings!
