• 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.

Prayers for the Departed

Please pray for a man who just died yesterday and was a friend of my husband who drives a handi tran and took him to kidney dialysis several days a week. The wife was an old friend of ours from church so my husband would go into the dialysis room and talk with them. The man's name is Gene Muerbrook. Thank you.....I'm new here. M.A.

Pascal

A saintly man of God

who loved everyone unconditionally, judged no one, and bore no grudges

Died today in his sleep, June 28, 2004

May he rest in peace and may the souls of the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

(my 8000th post)

Just received this email from Denise --

My dear cousin, the Deacon, Joseph Michael Cieri (pronounced, "cheery"), fell asleep in the Lord suddenly two hours ago in Massachusetts. Though he was a Roman Catholic, he was very Orthodox in many ways, and good, good man, a brilliant and hilarious man, and I will miss him very much. He leaves behind seven adult children and his wife of many years, Nancy, who is very, very ill herself, as well as 4 sisters, countless nieces and nephews, and a very large, extended family.
