BEC

The Chapel of Kristus Aman develops and encourages a sense of belonging through Basic Ecclesial Communities (BECs). Each parish maps smaller neighbourhood areas where all the Catholics are then given opportunities to get to know each other and form stronger community relationships. Every baptised Catholic belongs to their neighbourhood area BEC unless they choose not to.

The whole parish is subdivided into neighbourhood communities where Catholics can meet and get to know each other on their ‘own patch’. Each BEC has a team of people who:

• visit 10-12 other households in friendship several times each year

• nurture the network of relationships in the neighbourhood through visiting and neighbourhood gatherings

• gather together for support and faith reflection

• link the people with the wider parish community
