Our MotivationWe are motivated by the faith and apostolic zeal of St. Peter and St.  Paul and the martyrdom of St. Thomas our father of faith.  

Our Motto: "For Christ and for the Church" During the time of Gideon when the people of God fought against the  enemies their slogan was “For the Lord and for Gideon!” (Judges 7: 18) i.e.  For the Lord and His leadership. In the context of the new Israel, it is “For  Christ and for the Church”. And the reply is help is from God (2 Maccabees  8:23b).  

St. Dominic (Feast Day 08 August) He strengthened the Church which was battling schisms and heresy by preaching the Word of God and praying the Rosary and making people  recite the Rosary. St. Dominic is our model as a defender of Catholic faith and the church.

St. John of the Cross (Feast Day 14 December) He is specially chosen by God for the renewal of Holy Catholic church. He  is a true model of obedience, expiation, prayer and love of God.
St. Theresa of Avila (Feast Day 15 October) At a period of crisis in the Church, she dedicated her life for the renewal of  the church. She stood strong against severe crisis and misconceptions in the  Church and died accomplishing the will of God.
St. Francis of Assissi (Feast Day 04 October) He is a Saint who lived and died, filled with the gifts of the Holy Spirit and  enveloped with the Love of Christ. He is a model of obedience and humility,  a Saint who completely abided by the word and rebuilt the Church.

 Is this a parallel Church system? Is it based on the ecclesial  foundations of the teachings of Catholic Church?  

Answer. This is not a parallel church system; this is a community of  AFCM missionaries united by inspiration of the Holy Spirit to love and  strengthen the Catholic Church and all Christian faithful. 

The Christian faithful are those who, since they have been incorporated  in Christ through Baptism, have been constituted as the people of God; for  this reason, since they have become sharers in Christ's priestly, prophetic,  and royal office in their own manner, they are called to exercise the mission  which God has entrusted to the Church to fulfil in the world, in accord with  the condition proper to each one (CCC 871). 

In virtue of their rebirth in Christ there exists among all the Christian  faithful a true equality with regard to dignity and the activity whereby all  cooperate in the building up of the Body of Christ in accord with each one's  own condition and function (CCC 872). 

Since, like all the faithful, lay Christians are entrusted by God with the  apostolate by virtue of their Baptism and Confirmation, they have the right  and duty, individually or grouped in associations, to work so that the divine  message of salvation may be known and accepted by all men throughout the  earth (CCC 900). 

It is the duty of the laity to spread make known and accept the message  of Salvation to people throughout the world (Vatican Council 2 Decree of  the Apostolate of the Laity Ch1:3). 

By nature, the call of a Christian is to Evangelize. In a living body there  is no parts that are inactive, but all take part in its growth and life (Ephesians  4:16). The organic union in this body and the structure of the members are  so compact that the member who fails to make his/her proper contribution  to the development of the Church must be said to be useful neither to the  Church nor to himself. In the Church there is a diversity of ministry but a  oneness of mission. Christ conferred on the Apostles and their successors  12 the duty of teaching, sanctifying, and ruling in His name and power. But the  laity likewise share in the priestly, prophetic, and royal office of Christ and  therefore have their own share in the mission of the whole people of God in  the Church and in the world. They exercise the apostolate in fact by their  activity directed to the evangelization and sanctification of men and to the  penetrating and perfecting of the temporal order through the spirit of the  Gospel. In this way, their temporal activity openly bears witness to Christ  and promotes the salvation of men. Since the laity, in accordance with their  state of life, live in the midst of the world and its concerns, they are called  by God to exercise their apostolate in the world like leaven, with the ardor  of the spirit of Christ (Vatican Council 2 Decree of the Apostolate of the  Laity Ch1:2). 

They should not limit their cooperation to the parochial or diocesan  boundaries but strive to extend it to interparochial, interdiocesan, national,  and international fields (Vatican Council 2 Decree of the Apostolate of the  Laity Ch. 3:10).

For in the Church there are many apostolic undertakings which are  established by the free choice of the laity and regulated by their prudent  judgment. The mission of the Church can be better accomplished in certain  circumstances by undertakings of this kind, and therefore they are  frequently praised or recommended by the hierarchy. No project, however,  may claim the name "Catholic" unless it has obtained the consent of the  lawful Church authority (Vatican Council 2 Decree of the Apostolate of the  Laity Ch. 5:24). 

Finally, the hierarchy entrusts to the laity certain functions which are  more closely connected with pastoral duties, such as the teaching of Christian doctrine, certain liturgical actions, and the care of souls. By virtue  of this mission, the laity are fully subject to higher ecclesiastical control in  the performance of this work (Vatican Council 2 Decree of the Apostolate  of the Laity Ch. 5:24).
