BASIC ECCLESIAL COMMUNITIES
Plan Goals 2018-22
(Adopted from the Proposals of Synod 2017)
(Goal 4) PERPETUAL SELF-RELIANT COMMUNITY
Resolution Statement :
As agents of transformation, the SCC Cells shall be independent of parish financial
resources, ensuring continuity and being examples of responsibility to the larger
community.
a) While all secs shall coordinate and cooperate with the Parish Priest or his
delegate, they shall be self-reliant and self-sustaining finan ciall y, and not being
dependent on the priests/ religious only.
b) All meetings shall have regular reporting, evaluation and record keeping. SCCs
must have on-going formation/ animation.
c) Shall devise means to be financially secure.
d) All SCCs will have one group animator . From among these animators, two
members shall be identified as representatives of the Parish on the Diocesan
Service Team (DST).
Important because:
Even if an involved Parish Priest is transferred, the task in hand of bringing the people
back to God through SCC should not stop. Hence, the good work must not be
dependent on the new Parish Priest but continue perpetually despite any changes.
