Even with the programme of activities and theme colors laid out in a subtle fashion to mimic the brochure of a typical text messaging manual, the meat of the talk was clear: there is a need to "reload" one's spiritual life as morals have deteriorated and growth in the community has

been stunted by inability to innovate one's role as an evangelizer to the world. To say the least, creative minds behind the conference, a microcosm of the entire SFC personality wrestled the participants away from the traditional in-your-face approach. Just as the recently-departured Pope John Paul II adopted technology to reach the whole Christiandom (and eventually the news of his death), SFC also adopted to the signs of times where yuppies and even kids are fond of innovations such as the Internet and mobile technology.

Talks were given in a technologically-savvy flavor such as coming up with new meanings to obviously overused acronyms such as ISP, uploads/downloads and DIALUP.

A short intermission featuring Pop Idol was held during the lunch break with Divina Reyroso of SFC Macau winning the Fantasia Barrino award and Dona Bas in a Cinderella finish. Second runner-up was Alex Ranay of SFC Guangzhou. Acting as judge was SFC Couple Coordinator Elmer Anonuevo and the whole event's Master of Ceremony Marivi Santos and Jay Apolinario.

A lively praisefest and exaltation of the CFC flag took place shortly before a Eucharistic celebration, officiated by Fr Emil Lim. The conference ended at 6.25pm.
