Why is your membership so important?
We count on you to become a new member or to renew your membership for 2005 and encourage your fellow chiropractors to join the first and only church approved Catholic association of the faithful' for chiropractors. Since we are not a chiropractic political association, we can fully be united with other Catholic healthcare providers gathering around the Healing Message of Christ, as we participate in the fulfillment of our call to holiness and the mission God has placed before us as chiropractors.
What we have done
1. The AFCC has been recognized by the highest Church authority in our Church. We formed this association of the faithful so as all Catholic chiropractors would have the opportunity as our other fellow Catholic health care workers to participation in our church.
2. The association is now an affiliate member of the International Federation of Catholic Medical Association, which is recognized by the Vatican. We now can attend the Pontifical Councils for Pastoral Health Care meetings in Rome.
3. Individuals can now become associate members of the national Catholic Medical Associations, International Medical Association of Lourdes, and Catholic Health Association.
4. We are the first and only Catholic voice in our profession and have received recognition by invitations to speak before the WFC and ACC.
5. We are in our 7th year of our newsletter The Catholic Chiropractor and the website www.afcc.net.
6. We have responded to the Water of Life document put out by the Pontifical Council for Culture {PCC}. Info can be located by writing to chiroserge@aol.com 
What we now must do next with your help
1. Research for the next document from the PCC.
2. Continue research and publish a position paper on chiropractic philosophy 2005.
3. Have a presence at the Pontifical Council's for Pastoral Health Care congresses.
