“Bisita nen San Pablo” to build BECs

Friday, May 8th, 2009

As provided by the Archdiocesan Pastoral Assembly of 1997 (APA), the Commission on Community Apostolate is specifically designed and intended for the formation and promotion of Basic Ecclesial Communities. As a pastoral priority, the Archdiocese of Lingayen-Dagupan puts the formation of BECs at the forefront. In collaboration with the Pope John Paul II Archdiocesan Biblical Center (PJPIIBC), the “Bisita nen San Pablo” will be launched in the continuing celebration of the Year of St. Paul. “Bisita nen San Pablo” is a study and reflection on the life and ministry of St. Paul as a vehicle in the formation and promotion of Basic Ecclesial Communities.

Two main talks will be given to highlight this objective. The first talk will be on “Pauline Missionary Strategies”. The second talk will be on “Building BECs in the Archdiocese”. A bible enthronement will open the celebration.

Msgr. Renato P. Mayugba, DD, the Auxiliary Bishop, has envisioned “Bisita nen San Pablo” as a congress with the theme “St. Paul on Building Christian Communities” as enunciated in his circular letter addressed to all the Parish Priests of the Archdiocese. “Bisita nen San Pablo” will be held in the four vicariates on four different dates.

For Vicariate IV, St, Ildephonse Parish, May 16

For Vicariate III, Parish of St. Fabian, Pope and Martyr, May 23

For Vicariate II, Epiphany of the Lord Parish, June 6

For Vicariate I, Sts. Peter and Paul Parish, June 13

It will be a half-day celebration. Registration will begin at 12:00 Noon. Participants will include BEC coordinators/leaders, officers of Barangay Pastoral Councils, members of PPC, catechists, leaders/officers of various covenant communities and all interested lay leaders. A Eucharistic celebration and a procession will end the celebration at 4:30 PM.
