Couples for Christ Western Australia was blessed to pay a courtesy visit to Bishop Nelson Po, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Perth, whom we have known and journeyed with for many years, even from his time as a priest. We are grateful for the opportunity to reconnect with him following his episcopal ordination earlier this year.
During our meeting, we shared our desire to strengthen the relationship between CFC and the Archdiocese of Perth, particularly through the appointment of a Spiritual Adviser for CFC in the Archdiocese of Perth, under Bishop Nelson’s guidance. We were encouraged by his supportive response and openness to closer collaboration.
Bishop Nelson also shared about his recent responsibilities involving synodality and Magnifica Humanitas. We expressed CFC’s willingness to explore how our charism and experience in evangelisation, marriage and family formation, and community life could contribute to these areas and support the wider mission of the Archdiocese.
We also discussed the ongoing unification of Couples for Christ and CFCA , reaffirming our commitment to communion, collaboration, and service within the Catholic Church.
As part of our continuing journey together, we invited Bishop Nelson to future Clergy and Lay Congresses in the Philippines and Australia, as well as to the CFC Western Australia Anniversary celebration on November 21.
We thank Bishop Nelson for his warm reception, encouragement, and openness to dialogue. May this visit be another step towards deeper communion, stronger relationships with the parishes of the Archdiocese, and greater collaboration in proclaiming the Gospel and strengthening Christian families.
As Couples for Christ, we remain committed to listening to the Church, walking with our bishops and clergy, and offering our gifts in service of the mission of the Archdiocese of Perth.
“In the One, We Are One.” 🙏❤️
