The phenomenon of couples living together in a new union is a reality that dates back to the patristic period. This book is the product of the author's in-depth investigation of the lived experience of immigrant Filipino couples in Toronto, Canada about the phenomenon. The research reveals that couples in a new union live a life of fear. feeling guilty and helpless in the situation judged by most in the Church as sinful and by their Filipino culture as shameful. The growing secular and relative mentality today undoubtedly bring some comfort to their complicated life in a new union. Their Filipino cultural upbringing, however, keeps them from totally embracing these modern-day trends and practices. Immigrant Filipino couples living together in a new union seek to set things right. Like lost sheep, they expect pastors to patiently search for them and compassionately bring them back to the Church, the family of God whose house is always their home. While sacramental marriage is definitively indissoluble, Catholic Baptism is also irrevocably permanent.
