Philippine Federation of Married Catholic Priests and their Families (PFMCP)

From Holy Thursday to Holy Saturday, the 8th Convention of PFMCP took place in Dumaguete City. 60 people attended. Bishop J. Du visited the president and delegates for an hour. The welcome address was given by Governor George Arnaiz. There were no other main speakers but workshops on family life and the role of women in the movement. The young people too made their presentation about how proud they felt about their parents. Everyone was relaxed- enjoying the few days together- with no hang-ups or tension about priesthood or church etc. Orlando P. Carvajal was elected President with Ed & Minda Kelly, Tany Mangubat & Edith Munoiz, Joe Falcon & Betty Cabazares as Vice Presidents and Women Reps. Each area also elected youth reps. The final afternoon was spent by the sea with much sharing and laughter. In the evening, the Easter Vigil Mass was celebrated in the house of president Bert Munoz with a healing ceremony and prayers for the sick and for those who had died.
