Kalka Parish Renews Its BEC Mission, Revives Three Units
In a significant step towards strengthening parish life, St. Joseph Catholic Church, Kalka, revived three inactive Basic Ecclesial Community (BEC) units and established a new one during a seminar attended by around 170 faithful.
The seminar emphasised the importance of BECs as small faith communities rooted in prayer, the Word of God, fellowship and mutual care.
The programme included an opening prayer, a presentation on the vision of BECs, scriptural reflection, and group discussions on serving neighbourhoods.
A major outcome was the renewal of commitment among members of all four units to meet regularly for prayer, Scripture sharing and fellowship, while reaching out to families in need.
The initiative reaffirmed the vital role of every family in building a united, participatory and faith-filled parish. The seminar concluded with gratitude to the parish priest, organisers, volunteers and participants.
The revival of these communities marks a renewed pastoral commitment to nurturing faith and strengthening Christian fellowship. May the BECs of St. Joseph Catholic Church, Kalka, continue to grow as vibrant communities of discipleship, bearing witness to Christ through their unity, compassion and service.
