About us

Missionary Couples of Christ (MCC), formerly known as Trinity Couples Ministry, is a venture of the Archdiocese of Ernakulam-Angamaly under Family Apostolate Centre Ernakulam (FACE).

Officially begun on 6th December 2014, MCC functions as an agent of pastoral care for the families in the Archdiocese of Ernakulam-Angamaly. We believe that sacramentally married couples participate in a special way in the mission that Jesus Christ entrusted with the Church. As leaders of the family, which is called "domestic church", the couples are co-shepherds in the Church. Together with the priests and religious in the Church, they should actively engage in the pastoral ministries of the Church.

The chief charisma of the sacramentally married couples is the empowerment of family relationships. Missionary Couples of Christ live this charisma in a special way and serve families as couples. They get trained for the ministry through Grace Ripples Fellowship and at the successful completion of the training they take the oath for a lifetime to serve the Lord in the Church by engaging in the pastoral care for families.

our family visits

Samaritan Visit

Inspired by the attitude of Good Samaritan (Lk.10:29-37), Missionary Couples identify at least one broken family per month and together with their children they pray for the family and visit them to heal their wounds. They accompany the family as mentors

Prisca - Aquila Visit

After the model of Prisca- Aquila, St. Paul's co-workers in Jesus Christ (Rom. 16:3), Missionary Couples visit at least one family per month to motivate them to live their Christian vocation and work for the Kingdom of God. They attract the family to attend couples or parenting retreat at Jeevalaya Family Park, Kalady conducted by FACE.

cana Visit

Like Mother Mary who was a channel of grace at the wedding feast at Cana (Jn.2:1-11), Missionary Couples visit newly wedded couples in their parishes. They pray for the couple and wish them with a gift that lays foundation for their Christian marital journey.

Eliswa Visit

A grace filled pregnancy is significant for a graceful child. With the spirit of Mother Mary visiting Elizabeth (Lk.1:39-45), Missionary Couples visit pregnant couples to pray for them and hand over a booklet which describes parental actions and attitudes necessary for the integral growth of the child in prenatal stage. They motivate the couple to attend the Babyshine Retreat conducted at Jeevalaya Family Park, Kalady on the first weekend of every month

our Spirituality

MCC Couple, consecrated to Jesus Christ through Holy Matrimony, experiences and share with others the love of Christ revealed on the cross. The command of the Lord to love each other as he loved inspires them (Jn.13:35).

They sanctify each other through Christian love and become capable of refreshing and repairing family relationships. They accept each other as gift of God and serve each other in Jesus Christ. The cherishing love of the partner opens up their heart into God. As they become "single flesh", they enter into a deeper union with God and engage in the service of Kingdom of God with missionary zeal.

Hence in the spirit of the Holy Trinity, they move from momentariness to eternity, worldliness to godliness, luxury to simplicity, timidity to audacity, and from slavery of sin to freedom of love, and ultimately enter into the eternal bliss that Christ has promised. Seven pillars of MCC spirituality are personal and family prayers, meditation of the Word of God, reception of sacraments, mutual love of husband and wife, friendship among neighbours, missionary zeal, and the love of the Church.
