Couple Empowerment Programme

According to Magisterial teachings, marriages today are threatened by forces that militate against the well-being of the institution of marriage and family life. There has been an increase in the number of marriages that end before the first 10 years. The sexual revolution has brought about the culture of death through promiscuity and infidelity, divorce, contraceptives and abortion.

In 2003, the Archdiocesan Senate of Priests directed that the Couple Empowerment Programme (CEP) be developed under the auspices of the Family Life Society. CEP seeks to establish a post-marriage catechesis for young married couples based on the Catholic Church’s teachings on marriage and family, developing life skills, effective parenting and faith formation. These are conducted for and directed at parish communities to establish a parish formation and supportive infrastructure for all couples serious about enhancing marriage and family life.

CEP couples and their community are encouraged to embark on formation studies and training in Marriage and Family. In 2013, the CEP coordinators completed a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family from Maryvale Institute in Birmingham, UK.

We dream of a world where married couples live a heroic love with Christ as their standard, and raise their children to become fine men and women. CEP strives for a world where husbands love and protect their wives, and wives who, through their sacrificial love, are their husbands’ helpmates.

Indeed, CEP is the fruit of the Spirit and is dedicated to the Queen of Apostles. We are our Lady and dearest Mother for her intercession for all couples and families with whom we have been entrusted.
