Gabe Canizares

Gabe Canizares is a member of Singles for Christ, and was previously an active member in the CFC-Youth community.   Being in the community, I had the chance to meet so many people, and through that I got to see a lot of different perspectives. One thing I learned is that it doesn’t matter what […]

From Small Beginnings to Full Blast

Remember when you attended your first camp? Your friends probably hyped you up about it, you had no idea what to expect, and #PCD (post camp depression) was all over social media afterwards. Chances are that your camp experience marked the first chapter of a beautiful love story with the Lord. If you’re like me […]

Evangelizing the New Mission Area

We live in a day and age in which technological advances have shaped the way we interact with others. We also live in a time where the Internet is, for the most part, commonplace. The Internet, however, is like a double-edged sword. On one hand, it is a beautiful innovation with the potential to reach […]

I Declare: RYC Reflection #2

Like a Gentle Breeze   “Ahakoa he iti, he iti pounamu” // “Although it is small, it is precious” — A Maori Proverb   Each Sunday, I am blessed with the opportunity to spend about 45 minutes with mini human beings at my home parish, teaching them about Jesus’ love for them, Mary’s watchful eye, […]

I Declare: RYC Reflection #1

May 20, 2018 Around 24 hours ago I was jumping around, shouting from the top of my lungs, praising and worshiping Christ with the greatest capacity I’ve ever had.

Reflecting on this question, some of you reading may respond to having spent your Lent actively fasting and preparing yourself to get to know Christ intimately.

When was the first time you experienced Christ through CFC-Youth? I was still a member in 2010 and I didn’t talk to anyone. I had my friends from school, but they were all […]

Extravagance Found in Simplicity

Create in Me a Clean Heart “In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen. Bless me father for I have sinned…” As I finished speaking of unspeakable things, silence filled the confessional booth. My tongue, weary of saying things I never wanted to say aloud in my life; my heart, […]

New Year’s Resolution

As the end of the year rapidly approaches, many of us are beginning to brainstorm new year’s resolutions – goals with the intent of bettering ourselves based on the wisdom we have acquired from the past year. Following the same mindset, it is in our best interest to develop a plan to grow in our […]

From Boy to Man

If you are reading this article, you probably already know the clichés I’m about to spout: “God has called you to be greater”, “The media portrays men as egotistical and prideful”, and so on. It’s always been said – but when push comes to shove, we, as men, don’t really understand the gravity of what […]
