Our Logo
Centred on our Saviour and Teacher Jesus Christ, OFC aims to transmit the key pillars of the Catholic faith - Scripture & Tradition, Sacraments, Life in Christ and Prayer. Through its work with catechists, catechumens, candidates and those involved in catechesis, OFC envisions Christ's Light spreading throughout the world, until Christ comes again at the Parousia, when God will be all in all.
"Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man... Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power... The last enemy to be destroyed is death...When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all."
- 1 Corinthians 15:20-28
