Family Church of Connecticut - February 19th

2026 Commemoration of the Holy Births of the True Parents and the 13th Anniversary of Cheon Il Guk Foundation Day

Thank you for your constant prayers and unwavering devotion to True Parents. We are especially grateful at this time for the brief improvement in True Mother’s circumstances, and we continue praying with all our hearts for her complete protection, health, and liberation.

This month marks a sacred time in our global movement as we celebrate two of Heaven’s greatest victories: the Holy Births of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind, and the 13th Anniversary of Cheon Il Guk Foundation Day. These Holy Days are not only milestones in history. They are opportunities for us to renew our hearts, deepen our unity with Heaven, and offer our gratitude as sons and daughters of filial piety.

13-Day Special Devotional Period

February 17 – March 1, 2026 (1.1 – 1.13, 14th Year of Cheon Il Guk)

To prepare for these Holy Days, members around the world are invited to join in a 13- day period of devotion and reflection. While each region and local church may offer their own guidance and spiritual programs, we share the following international points of unity:

Daily Prayer Focus

Let us offer sincere prayers each day for:

• The health and complete liberation of True Parents • Healing, hope, and awakening in our communities and nation • Harmony, peace, and happiness in our own families Donation of Gratitude

During this special season, families and individuals may feel moved to offer a donation of gratitude. Offerings can be given through your local church or online at familyfed,org/donate by selecting “True Parents’ Birthday” as the donation purpose. Any amount is prayerfully received and deeply appreciated.

Reading and Reflection

Suggested devotional readings include The Epic History of the Chosen Han People and other texts that help us connect with Heaven’s providence. Families and local pastors may decide how best to engage with these materials.

Additional devotional practices, such as acts of service, letter writing, or group reflections, may be guided by your local church leadership. Please connect with your pastor for local schedules and opportunities during this period.

Let us take these 13 days to open our hearts, draw closer to Heaven, and bring the light of True Parents into our families, communities, and nations.

As we honor these Holy Days, may we offer our hearts with new determination to live as True Mother’s filial sons and daughters. Let us raise our voices and hands in gratitude, deepen our love for one another, and bring hope to Korea, Japan, and the world.

May Heavenly Parent bless you and your family richly during this sacred season.

With love and appreciation,
