before saying that you want to commit to being on the local team. So here is a
précis…. 1.
Responsible Parenthood (based on Humanae
Vitae)

Teaches the
couples to appreciate and use their gift of sexuality in having the right
number of children according to God’s plans. §
FEED informs
them of its real definition and help them to follow it by training them on
natural family planning. 2.
Natural Family

§
A way of life
of deciding responsibly the best time to have a child provided the reasons
are valid and the means are moral. §

particularly on Billings Ovulation Method (BOM). 3.
Parenting
§
Programs for
enhancing family relationships. §
On top of what
CFC offers, FEED provides teachings on effective parenting, what children
need from their parents and how to give sex education to your children.

Counselling
§
Actual
counselling services for those in need particularly on pregnancy crisis,
post abortion, and marriage and family. §
FEED also
conducts training on basic counselling skills, on LOVE approach, on HEART
and soon on COMPASS counselling. 5.
Marriage
Tribunal Ministry
§
This orients
CFC members, especially leaders, about the validity or invalidity of a
solemnized marriage, for pastoral purposes. §
FEED offers
guidance and practical help to those couples or individuals who are
thinking or planning to apply for a declaration of nullity from the Church
Marriage Tribunal, especially the members of the Jacob’s Well ministry.
