T &T Update

August/September 2006

2006 Theme: “SHOW HIS POWER AND MAJESTY TO A SINFUL NATION” (Tb 13:6/7).”

 

Couples on Retreat  Hot off the press:
It’s BACK!  The Marriage Enrichment Retreat for CFC Couples takes place on September 15-17 at Emmaus Centre in Arima.  Our organizers promise us true depth and growth – a new way to look at your marriage.  So pray for the couples that God will put everything in place to allow them to attend and focus on the retreat.

Formation
 
Formation in the Ignatian Method of Spirituality has been regularly taking place on Saturday mornings at Mt. St. Benedict.  The formation program produced by Intercessors of the Lamb is called “Hearing God’s Voice and is a simplified lay-man’s manual to guide us into the methods used by St. Ignatius of Loyala to attain spiritual depth.  Sessions have been led by a Core team of Fr. Neil Rodriguez CSSp, Carl Lara, Carl Arneaud and 2 invited guests.  The first module of Silence, Prayer, Solitude and Penance has just been completed and members report of increased awareness of God and their deepening faith. This has been further intensified by the personal spiritual direction provided to participants by Fr. Rodriguez who is the official Spiritual Director of Couples for Christ T&T.  To Fr. Rodriguez and his team we say sincere Thank You.

YFC T&T National Conference
Kudos continue to pour in about the excellent planning, prayer and level of responsibility displayed by our YFC Executive Committed (EXECOM).  They organized and hosted a fantastic day of prayer, learning and growing at UWI on July 15th which was thoroughly enjoyed by participants.  In the words of one observer “de talks was reaal good Auntie Claire, it was real real real good.”  For the full review, we hope you read your Catholic News.

Caribbean
Conference – St. Maarten
De one-week of youth activities, de organizing people from all over de Caribbean, de logistics of transport, de doing it all for de first time – none of this daunted the St. Maarten CFC.  Despite their small numbers they thrilled attendees at this year’s Caribbean Conference.  The hotels were beautiful waterfront properties, the youths made lasting leaps in Christ and they did it together, the presentations were powerful.  The T&T contingent all had loud praise for our St. Maarten bretheren.  Next year it’s in St. Vincent so get ready!!  Check our photo gallery for pictures
