The primary way that study is incorporated into CAF is through the weekly programs. Coming together as a group on a weekly basis for study is the central activity of CAF from which all the other activities radiate.

PRAYER
Opportunities for communal prayer include opening and closing programs with prayer; and can include sending out a weekly prayer and praise e-mail, which is compiled by one person from the e-mails they receive from the group; passing around a traveling Rosary to be prayed by a different person each week for the group’s prayer and praise intentions that week; and encouraging Eucharistic adoration at a regular time, such as one hour before the program.

Fellowship
Fellowship events are non-religious (sometimes religious) events that allow us to get together and have fun. These events also give us the opportunity to build our relationships with one another and practice our faith in every day life. Fellowship activities can be planned or spur of the moment get-togethers. Fellowship activities should be welcoming to all vocations: married, single and religious.

Service
Service projects should aim to build up the church; affirm the dignity of the human person; and help us be Christ to others, focusing on love, corporal and spiritual works of mercy, and Catholic social teaching.

Retreats
Retreats are a way to incorporate all Four Foundational Disciplines into one event. They provide CAF members with a chance to get out of town, reconnect in a deep way with God, and have some relaxing fun as a group.

Fundraising
CAF chapters are extremely inexpensive to maintain because everyone is pitching in and the programs are generally very informal. Fundraising events, which are optional, can help pay for retreats, supplies, mileage reimbursement for speakers, service projects, and an added benefit is that they can also be acts of service and provide a fellowship opportunity for members.
