Dear Couples for Christ Canada and its Family Ministries,

Pax Christi!

It is with great joy that I share this wonderful news to all of you!

Following a recent request, the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) has officially appointed Most Reverend Marcel Damphousse, Archbishop of Ottawa–Cornwall, to serve as the National Spiritual Advisor for Couples for Christ Canada for a first three-year renewable term (June 2026 - June 2029).

We are deeply grateful to the CCCB for this recognition of our mission and for providing us with the pastoral guidance of Archbishop Damphousse for an initial three-year term. His appointment is a significant blessing for our community as we continue our work in service of Christian family life across the country.

Please join me in prayer as we welcome Archbishop Damphousse into this role. We look forward to the wisdom and support he will bring to our community as we continue to grow and serve the Church together.

We would also like to thank Most Reverend Michael Miller, Archbishop Emeritus of Vancouver, who served as our previous National Spiritual Advisor. We are grateful for his guidance, especially throughout the pandemic.

In Christ,

Manny Canete
National Director

An invitation to all Household Leaders and Unit Leaders... and members

Marriage is not merely a partnership. It is a vocation. Through the sacrament of marriage, husbands and wives are called to serve God together, sharing the mission of lovingly shepherding the family He has entrusted to them. They become a “pastoral team.”

By virtue of our Baptism, we share in the common priesthood of the faithful. As husband and wife, we exercise this priestly mission first within our own home: leading our family in prayer, teaching and witnessing the faith, offering daily sacrifices of love and service, and guiding one another toward holiness. In this way, our home truly becomes a domestic church where Christ is known, loved, and followed.

As the spiritual shepherds of the family, we are called to care for each member with the heart of the Good Shepherd. This means loving with patience, listening with compassion, correcting with gentleness, and remaining faithful in leading our family closer to God. Together, we are accountable to Christ, the Chief Shepherd, for the care of the family He has entrusted to us.

May we embrace our priestly calling with humility and love, faithfully leading our families to know, love, and serve the Lord.
