Commission for Basic Ecclesial Communities

The family is the foundational unit of the Church, and gatherings of families within a parish are known as Basic Ecclesial Communities (BECs), or Kudumbakootayma. These communities revitalize the family as the core of the Church, keeping it rooted in Christ and bearing fruit. Through BECs, the Church continues Christ’s mission in both the Church and society. VISION: A communion of communities where neighbours live life in fullness with the evangelical spirit. MISSION: Establish, empower, and sustain BECs in every neighbourhood, fostering a praying, sharing, caring, and serving community, and promoting shared leadership at all levels.
