Mission to Build Community 


BECs 
As Centers of 
Evangelisation 




The BEC is where
 - we connect with the divine within our daily routine.
 - we come to know with certainty that God exists and is involved in our one and only passionate life.

BEC's are different from groups for Bible Study or prayer
                 they are not a therapy group
                              not a group that sits there to feel good together.
                                                                     to stroke each others psyche
They are places where people  - share their faith.
                                               - do service.
                                               - develop a strong support network.
                                               - provide spiritual energy for each other.
Everyone in the parish
     - must become a resource for the other  - to inspire
                                                                  - to help all in their search (journey)
     - must acknowledge that there is a connection between building community and growing in wellness    

Pope John Paul II in 1988 taught that  " small basic communities " where the faithful
                                               communicate the Word of God
                                        and express it in service and love to one another
                                        are centres of evangelisation in communion with their pastor."
