FCCCPC Christmas Party is held yearly, at which Hawaiian Experience was the theme of the night. This brought joy, love and peace for all of community. This was very a excellent event to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and welcoming the coming year colourfully.

My Brothers & Sisters in Christ in the communities of FCCCPC
My family and I were very much overwhelmed by the fun, joy, peace, and ineffable love that permeated our CHRISTmas Party. The presence and working of the Holy Spirit are much too obvious not to notice. To add to the joyous package is the presence of the meaningful clergy in our community - Fr. Ben, Deacons Bob, Carlos and Alex and their wives - who have been and are always there for us when our communities needed their support and guidance.
But this grace-filled event could not have materialized if our communities were just sitting down and waiting for it to happen. NO, on the contrary our communities and their members have been busy planning, organizing, collating ideas and information, and gathering gifts for the occasion. And so, while I certainly thank the Lord God Almighty for His grace, I most certainly thank all of you for manifesting your community spirit by punctuating such with your support, love, cooperation and selfless giving to the glory of our Triune God.
Most sincerely, Norma, my children and I greet you all with the best CHRISTmas wishes and pray for God's finest gifts upon you and your families in the coming year. May the Spirit of the Lord guide us and protect us always.
To God be the glory, honour and praise!!!
With fondest thoughts and prayers,

CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS
To our dear families in the communities of AFCCPC, FCCCPC, AFCM & CCRC:
As we go deeper into the groove of our Advent reflection and preparation to greet Christmas and each other with enthusiastic love and thanksgiving, I wish to take this opportunity to greet each and everyone of you and your loved ones with a Merry Christmas and a very prosperous New Year.
In 2011, we all have experienced the blessings of our Lord. I am confident that those blessings are abundant in our families. Equally meaningful and most obvious are the fruitful events in our communities. It seems that every year our events are getting larger, more dynamic, and the Spirit of the Lord more palpable. I certainly praise and thank Him whose birth in Bethlehem we are preparing to celebrate. But I would like to acknowledge the support, cooperation, and the copious time and efforts contributed by all the members of our communities. Without them, our activities and events would not have been as animated and as spirit-filled.
I pray that the coming year will usher in more blessings and more opportunities for all of us to proclaim His Word, His Faith and His glory by the way we will live our lives in unity, holiness, love, truth, and justice.
On behalf of my wife Norma and my family and with fondest thoughts and prayers, I pray for His finest gifts and blessings for all of us this Christmas and the coming year.
Sincerely in Christ,
Bro. Don Quilao

HAPPY FACES - 2011 CHRISTMAS MEMORIES
To download pictures click here
Last December 10th, the FCCCPC member communities gathered together at the St. Monica Church at Broadway and Eglinton to celebrate a Christmas with a twist - hawaiian motif in December, so flowers, leis and pineapples abound.
It was a well-attended, well-participated event from the start to the end. The love, unity and camaraderie that the organization wants to foster among the member communities were manifested by how the attendees warmly applauded all presentations and how they all gamely joined the activities prepared for that day.
It may have been a fun-filled, free-spirited event but Christ remained the center and the focus of the celebration.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST.
